O-week! O-wow!

ITS FINALLY COMINGGGGGG!

yesterday, i had my first trip to the city by myself and went to my housing. MY FIRST NIGHT. my gosh. i really didnt know what to expect. all i know was that im ready to make friends. : )

it was a long day that consisted of enrolling and orienting us with almost everything, and i mean EVERYTHING. its actually cool that they really have this whole system of just taking care of anything-- from depression to parking to security to discounts to bus tickets. it was overwhelming, but the thought of answering your FAQs was great.

anyway, i had a great adventure last night. as for our welcoming, we had this activity called "the speed friend-making" yes, it is what you think it is, its like speed dating but the only difference is you end up being friends with them. met almost everybody, mostly the new residents and a lot were either from canada or singapore.

i promised my new friend that i would write about him, so here goes...

so as we were doing the activity, i had the chance to talk to one of the funniest person that ive met so far. so here's the info that i got about him in two minutes:

name: durlabh (i say it as DYUR-LAHBHHHH while acting the lab part as love with a puppy dog face)

where is he from: born in india, moved to tasmania

degree: bachelor's, he's a new resident and a freshman

what course is he taking: AEROSPACE ENGINEERINING... AND I WAS LIKE, HUWATTTTTTTT?????

and he was like... YEAHHHHH. i cant believe it either

so i asked him why he picked that one... his answer:

"well, when i was growing up, i always watched spaceships and that's why i picked this course, but then i dont know. i think after this semester i would be doing like [does the act of hands in fornt of his face] why, whyyyyyyyy did i choose this course?"

and we laughed so hard and we were like saying, WTH did i pick this course, WHYYYYYYY!

what made it really funny was that he looked like abed but with emotions, if you get what i mean. [abed is a character in the series called "Community"]

sooo yeah, i met a lot of people, not all, but it was a fun night, ended with a game called mafia. : )
