Crash landing

Feeling very fobby
Listening to nothing at all
It's 12:26 PM and it's -10' Celsius outside and very windy also
I'm inside this freaking huge library

I honestly do not have any time to do anything, except take breathers between schedules during orientation week. At the same time, I am having trouble settling in.

I did not bring pillows, bedsheets, bedspreads, pillowcases, nor lots of cash.

I feel like very fobby here; my English is great but it's painfully difficult to find common ground with these people. Around 94% of the students are US passport holders, meaning they're American citizens, and it's hard to connect with them. I'm not kidding.

I think I understand what Tarin is going through now. Hang in there. I'm kind of scared, but mostly lonely from knowing that it's going to be difficult to find good friends.

Middlebury College is an extremely academically rigorous school. I think I have told some people that I can only take 4 classes (and no more) per semester. Well, I found out that these four courses (each counting up to 1 unit, and you need 36 units to graduate) amount to the 5~7 courses you might take in other universities or colleges in both difficulty, challenge, and workload.

My phone doesn't work, so I haven't been able to call anyone.

I actually believe that these four years are going to be one of the roughest times I will ever go through. Hahaha - now, UCI or even UCLA seems like a cool place to be. I'm the only Asian-Asian in my class.

Again, I have to go meet with my orientation group for lunch. I will try to update later.

Please, give me a call anytime. I would love it! My phone number is 802-443-4429. I'll try to return all voice mails, alright.
