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 haven't been to. We went there cuz we knew the JRL dining hall would have a super long line cuz everyone just got back from the lecture 
• Lunch was actually REALLY SOLID, chicken, rice, steamed broccoli, and the cookies were really good. It's so refreshing to be eating actually cooked broccoli instead of the ones that taste like plastic at the salad bar
• Then after lunch I headed back to the dorm and chilled for a while, then me Raymon and Matthew took a bus down to downtown santa cruz cuz we didnt know what to do and we just went inside like every clothing store and thrifting store. None of us bought anything at any of the stores. Lots of them were like hippy clothing and like super musty inside, and other ones were super expensive. There was a goodwill, but everything there felt so dirty but it was cool to experience I guess. At the end we hit up trader joes on our way back and I bought a juice while raymon and matthew bought some food that they can heat up and stuff. I'd say that the trader joes session was a W. But yea what we realized is that really like Santa Cruz is a pretty lame city aside from the boardwalk. There really isn't much to do, and there's some sus homeless ppl too. The only good places to eat are like five guys, chipotle, nick the greek, and taco bell and some pizza places. But our gang made a deal to only eat out once a week, probably on Sundays, so we gonna have to wait some time before eating that five guys. MAN EATING OUT IS SO FIRE. 
• After that we took the bus back, and me and Raymon ate at JRL dining hall while Matthew ate at the dorm where he microwaved his trader joes mac and cheese
• This dinner was a SPECIAL ONE. Me and Raymon each got a bowl and put some vegetables in there and iT WAS NASTY MAN
• 
•  
• I put peas, edamame, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce, and the salsa. I ended up eating like 70% of it I would say. My stomach and throat HONESTLy started hurting from eating all that healthy stuff. Everything there just tastes like plastic man I miss my moms food man I didn't appreicate my moms vegetables enough I AM SUFFERING
• After dinner it was just a combination of like hanging out on the floor with floormates and me on my computer getting ready for tomorrows class. I also zoom called my mom and dad to pay the tuition for the quarter. I'd say it was a pretty chill/fun day today. See you tomorrow! It's sad that it's all over. I haven't had this real stress of homework or anything since May. I've said this many times but it's just been so blissful and like so happy every day to have like nothing to worry about in general. I need to actually lock in tho, I got this.
