The Fall Quarter 2003 at Cal State LA starts tomorrow. I’m a little nervous. The first day of the school year always gives me the jitters. I can’t sleep. I don’t feel that I’m ready. I just need one more class to add. Why do I wait till the last minute?

I’m a senior. Ooh-rah! I have about one and a half year to go till graduation. It’s been a very long road, full of bumps and detours. I will be glad to see it end. It’s time to start living.

Today marks the end of summer and the start of school. The Fall Semester began today for PCC. The campus was alive with the enormous magnitude of students; Shinny happy people.

What a hectic day. It took over twenty minutes to exit the freeway. Due to recent construction, the campus was short one parking lot. The masses were scrambling in search of parking. I ended up parking six blocks away. There was a five-car fender-bender by one of the parking lot. On the other side of campus, a car jumped curb and got stuck on the sidewalk. Today was a bad day to drive to school.

I’m going to start taking the Metro Gold Line. The first day of the Fall Quarter for CSULA isn’t this hectic.

It’s amazing that a year has passed. Things have changed so much, yet some things haven’t changed at all. I’m at a new school. A much bigger school, no doubt. I would have a much better time at CSUN, but it’s too late now. I guess CSULA is good enough. I no longer take the bus. I drive now. I thought I would always be relying on public transportation. Silly me. I still love snowboarding. My heart prounces when I see the slopes of the distant mountains to the east covered with snow. Life is good. Oh yeah. But, one thing that has not changed is the feeling that I am alone. I love my friends and I am so thankful for having them. But sometimes I feel as if I don’t belong, that I am different.

First Time Driving Alone

Ugh. It’s the first day of school and it’s my first time driving alone. I notice that a lot of people enjoy driving. But I don’t. Maybe it’s the car. I haven’t gotten a feel of it. It feels so bulky. I enjoy driving my friend’s 2-door Civic. I wouldn’t mind trading, but I’m not sure what my folks may say. They will have a fit.

With as much students as a large university such as USC, PCC is just too overcrowded. Just getting parking was an headache. There’s got to be some other form of transportation. C’mon Segway.

School starts next week. That was one short winter break. I still haven’t gone snowboarding. Sigh. I guess buying that snowboard was a waste of money. What I should have bought was a digital camera. I’m glad they raised minimum wage, but now I’m only making 25 cents above minimum wage. Haha, I think I need a raise so I can buy that camera. Alms for the poor?
