Life in Irvine.

Finally! A freaking University student… I have waited for this day for a long time. I promised myself that I would finish community college in 2 years, but that didn’t happen due to minor mistakes and a trip to paradise. Well, it’s all good, now I’m here, about to do some damage!
            Ever since I started school, majority of my time is spent on reading. The backyard (which has a swimming pool, a diving board, 2 tables, and a very creepy picture of a kindergartener girl in a cheerleading uniform in front of a dark forest) is my spot where I do most of my readings. Time to time, Derek joins me as we read together; with fresh cup of black coffee, smelling the aroma of the sweet French vanilla, listening to Adele, feeling the passion and emotion in her voice, all this while we hold each other’s dicks, mad bro time. Other times, my other roommates keep me company. It’s awesome living with these kids, couldn’t have asked better people to live with (thanks csong if your reading this). We surprisingly get along very well, with all so very different characters and personalities. I had the chance to have conversations with each one of them and I can say, I like the people who I live with. Continuing on, my current goal is to make myself more visible around the campus so sometimes I make an appearance in the gateway library. I have never been to a library by my own will but now I understand why people go there to study, it’s such a quiet environment where you actually want to read a book for once. Now that I’m in college, I have this incredible ambition. I would have easily skipped couple of my classes already and not have done the readings and homework but this time it’s different. This time I’m gonna put my noodles to work. This time, I’m doing everything by the rules.
            There are small moments that I enjoy within the campus. The first few days I rode my longboard to classes for the convenience of getting there quicker. What I realized was I been missing out on all these venders around campus which looked appealing to the eyes. And on top of that, I was limiting myself of checking out the gir… I mean uci’s finest students. It’s fun being around campus =] hahahahaha. Another thing I love about UCI is the bathrooms. I can eat off the toilet, it’s THAT clean. Also for some odd reason, UCI kids never make a visit to the bathroom, it’s always empty. So, every morning I find new bathrooms around the campus and mark my territory. Fiber pills couldn’t have been a better girlfriend than she is now. Of course, ARC (UCI gym) has to be the cherry on top. The facility has so much to offer. Although I only use the basketball court and the weight room, the place looks amazing. In classes, I tried to sit in the front of the class but lack of courage prohibited me from looking like a nerd. Instead, I managed to read all the materials and with the power of knowledge, I raised my hands to answer some questions. Because of my effort to show my interest and effort to succeed in the class, the professors memorized my name. I love the innocent smile the professors give me. It adds a fuel to my goal to succeed.        
But damn, there’s so many annoying things in classes too. One thing that pisses me off the most is computer usage inside the classrooms. It’s ridiculous how much these students take advantage of it. FACEBOOK FACEBOOK FACEBOOK, ALL DAY EVERYDAY. I see this kid refresh the home page at the rate of 5 seconds per click. The thing is, I can’t stop staring at his stupid facebook. I really want him to get some loving and get some notification but damn! No one shows him love =[ I wouldn’t mind if I didn’t get distracted but damn that kid pisses me off. Another thing that makes me irritated is some of these female’s fashion sense. I have seen a girl wear a fish net with tennis shoes and skirt. I also saw a girl wear short shorts with sandals in a pouring rain. And surprisingly, they were both Asians….. disgusting =/
            Overall, UCI experience is great. The roommates are very chill, house is awesome, and life as a student is challenging but still, it’s a great chance to get my act together. The view of college I have now is not only needing to do well, but wanting to do well. I hold this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I plan on turning it into gold.
Til next time, toodles.
