In comparison (from what I heard), the complex that I lived in is a hotel compared to the motels that are around. My room still feels like a hotel to me, too, complete with those weird wardrobes and stainless-steel bars on the wall (in the bedroom) to hang your towels on. The hallway feels like a hotel, or a very clean and new apartment except for the fact that we have a nice, spacious lounge right off of the stairway. One side of it is completely glass and so, given the Davis weather for the previous day is 88 F, it was a very sunny place to be at.
I've also learned not to go out wandering at 14:00 to 15:00 without a cap/sunglasses of some kind.
The people in my building are nice, being in an honors program meant that the bottom line IQ is still somewhere up there. Saw Sergei (sp?) here too, apparently he lives on the second floor while I live on the third. Saw Xi-lin this morning at the book store, Christine Kim yesterday (moving in), and the tall Indian guy from my Networking class whose name I can't remember. Back to the original topic, we had several meetings already among the residents of Miller Hall (all ISH residents). I have met potential doctors and engineers and writers and scientists, I have also been congradulated by a guy for knowing what an ellipse (which I apparently can't spell yet) is, but that was because the mandatory meeting dragged on way too long last night and everyone was braindead at the end. However, everyone agreed that the circle we were suppose to form was no where near any recognizable, regular, geometrical shape.
My room is nice and quiet when the door is closed, and my roommate is the sort that likes to hang out (usually followed by one or two guys) and around, so mostly I get the room to myself. Have been applying for jobs but had not gotten anything yet and this afternoon is my first test of the school year--placement test for pre calc.
Wish me luck?
