last day of welcome week! | DAY

  Hi, it is 11:15 PM, WOW!!! Great way to cool things down leading into school. I've been writing these at 1 AM regularly To be honest, I quite don't remember what I did today like specifically in the order. It will take a bit of brainpower to remember Woke up at 7:40 AM, ended up snoozing it all the way to 8:30 AM before I finally got out of bed Headed to the gym and the indoor courts had some people but like I got to practice by myself. Then we played 3v3s then 4v4s, I played solid today, I made some nice hook shots. It was DEFINITELY way better than last time, i still remember Monday I played SO BAD. After the gym, I walked to Classroom Unit 2 for some John R Lewis Core Course First Meeting where the professor just talked about some random things man it's like the history about angela davis who is what one of the buildings is named after and just random stuff it was soooo boring Then after that, me arian and matthew went to eat lunch at cowell, a dining hall that we have

cornucopia + boardwalk frolic! | Day 5 of college | DAY

hi its 1 AM again somehow woke up late at 9 am today, no gym went to a math undergrad welcome party at 10 am where they gave like free waffles and stuff. It was really fun cuz everyone ive met so far is like biomed or like cs or something, i havent seen like any math majors.  At this event there was like 20 of us around, it was rly cool. However NO ONE there was a Math Theory and Computation major which was what my major was. In the beginning the math department director or whatever talked about it and said that this new major was hype or something abd basically kinda gassed it up and said that a lot of ppl are gonna want to declare this major in the future or something i dont rly quite remember what he said cuz i was also late to the thing too but like ppl were saying that its cool taht i got admitted to that major also the food there was pretty good too. there were waffles and bagels and cookies and everything, i stashed a yogurt and spoon to take home lol Then I went back to the dor

ACTUAL downtown santa cruz | Day 4 college | DAY

hi this is day 4, its 12:58 AM woke up at 8, went to teh gym to play basketball, no one was there after the gym, i went to this info meeting about research at 10 am after the lecture thing which lasted about an hour, i took a bus down to UCSC TAPS, transportation services to figure out the ebike stuff cuz i filled out the ebike form with my personal email instead of my ucsc email and they wont reply to my requests now. Got it all figured out which was cool tried out the ebike, which is apparently just "electric assist" so its not even that good to uphill. Plus, for my first impressions, all of the bikes at the dock were on low battery. Hopefully this is just like a fluke or whatever tho Then i went to the dininghall with a couple of floormates. food was alright, they had these raspberry gradola bars that were rly good Then i was in my dorm for like 2 hours just cubing. Byt htis time it was 4, so me and raymon decided to just take a bus and see where it takes us. The others we

downtown santa cruz & karaoke | 3rd day of college | DAY

 what a day... so my third day of college. its 1:40 AM right now, i need to speed through this wrap-up  - woke up at 8:50 am, didnt end up going to cafeteria because i only get 14 meal plans a week and i wanna be a bit conservative in the beginning, so i ate a fig bar that i brought  - then i think i walked around a bit, snaked some lanyards from some booths or something, and met up with floormates to walk around after they finished going to the gym  - then went to some orientation speaker thing where they talked about respect or something it was kinda funny cuz they would play lofi music and have us reflect and no one could focus  - then we went straight to lunch, i only got one slice of this pizza before it was all gone, youll see it in the photo album. It was a pesto pizza and it was SO GOOD, i need that pizza every time i go to the dining hall PLEASE. Other than that there were some good sausages and stuff.   - After lunch we headed back, our floormates decided we wanted to go to d

second day of college | DAY

 9/23/23 hi today was day 2 of college. we woke up 9 am, i put it in my contacts, we got breakfast, which was alright. there were pancakes which is hard to mess up. then i walked to the gym myself to play some basketball, this time i played indoors and we had like 12 ppl so we played 5s. It was the first 10 ppl to sink a free throw got to play and im so glad i got a consistent free throw game. Anyway it was pretty fun, i made some tough shots in the game itself but also missed some easy shots, i would say it was a sub-par performance. i'm just happy i got to hoop with some people and meet new friends. I would say the skill level is lower than fallon in general, some of them dont rly know how to play, but theres also a lot of big men and ppl who def play. anyway after the gym, i walked back to campus to go to some welcome lunch orientation thing that ended up being kinda bs we legit just ate lunch in the dining hall. On my walk back to campus from the gym we passed by the bay tree c

My first day of college | DAY

  Today, Friday, 9/22/23, I moved into college. We woke up at like 8 AM and drove to San Jose to get breakfast at google cuz my sister works there lol so yea free food we take that. the food was pretty fire, these blueberry pancake things were super good and so were the staple pan au chaogloate however u spell that in french or whtaever. Then the smoothies are always so good man, though this time it was avocado ginger smoothie which was kinda mid.  Then yea we drove down to Santa Cruz, I haven't driven down there in a while and honestly it's not that stressful of a drive for me, lowkey some of those cheeky highways branching off of berkeley are pretty stressful and shaky to drive in. Anyway I would say comfortably that we literally like didnt bring much. My mom stuffed a good majority of things in this big red suitcase and outside of that we had some other boxes and stuff, but like we fit it all in the trunk and frunk of a tesla. We didn't even use any part of the backseat
