first day jitters

just finished my first day of classes here at osu. ok lang. ang init! kaninang umaga sobrang lamig tapos ngayong hapon mga nasa 90deg na raw.

i was pretty nervous and excited last night. di nga ako makatulog. mga ala-una na ako natulog. i got the same feeling i get in college pag dumadaan ako sa math building. yung para kang nasusuka na nahihilo na ewan. ang sama. anyway, woke up this morning at 630 for my 830 class. left the apt at around 745. thought that was early enough. turned out i had to walk to school. again. the buses never arrive on time. then i had to wait for the other bus for like 20 minutes or so. got to class at exactly 830. geez. my first class was biochem. i don't know what i'm doing in a proteins class but there i was. the prof reminded me a lot like father christmas. and he spoke really slowly. i sat near the front which i think now was a bad idea because for sure i'll be dozing off a lot on this class. good thing (or bad thing, whichever way you look at it) classes only last for an hour. and our academic year is divided in quarters. there is sooooo little time for actual learning. we'll have our midterms 2nd week of october i think. what would i have learned by then?

i don't know if it's just me, but in a lecture, most of the time, i feel like i'm just watching a really boring american film. parang hindi reality. di kasi sanay na may teacher na may accent. wala lang. ang weird.

sobrang sabog ko kanina i almost went to a whole different class instead of the one i was supposed to be at. i waited at a library at the other side of campus where my class tomorrow will be, nowhere near my class this afternoon. and i had no idea where the building of my class was. i just got on the first bus to come and somehow, i got there. their buses here are so confusing. there's the south loop and the north loop. but they don't go south or north all the time. i still don't get it.

i also started with my rotation. though i just picked colonies which took all of 30 seconds. but i'll be doing a miniprep and ligation all day tomorrow. nask. parang totoong molecular biologist. good thing the people in the lab are so nice. i asked really dumb questions. like, she was cutting embryos that were mounted on agar and my question was "are they dead?". duh. i just had to make sure.

nga pala. i got to see the amazing race finale last night. i was soooooo happy! el nido was beautiful. and it's a good thing that colin and christie didn't win. but brandon and nicole looks like they could use the money more than chip and kim. and brandon is such a cutie! and nice too! and a christian! i have to get me one of those. . .
