College Road Trip
Okay, so from Tues - Thurs, I was on a "college road trip". Basically, the school took us on a trip to see some colleges. We went to
(Day 1) UC Santa Barbara, San Luis Obpiso Cal Poly
(Day 2) Cal State Monteray Bay, UC Santa Cruz, San Jose State University, Stanford
(Day3) San Fransico State University, Cal State University of Bakersfield.
Okay, there's a lot to write about, but I am very lazy.... SO, I shall briefly describe each day.
Day 1-
I set my alarm clock the day before to ring at 5:20am, but guess what?! It didn't ring!!!! So I woke up at 6am. I didn't get to shower, eat breakfast or comb my hair. I was like WTF! I'm late! I panicked because we had to meet at school by 6:15am which is when the bus leaves.
The drive to UCSB was about 1 1/2 hours. Out of all the campuses that I had visited, I like Santa Barbara's campus the best. What made it really cool was that there were bicycles all over the place! Cuz it was the number 1 means of transportation in UCSB and the tour guide told us that there's 16,000 registered bicycles on campus out of a student body of 21,000.
After the tour, we at at the campus food court. There was like Panda Express, Wendy's and all these franchise fast food stores. LOL I ate Wendy's. Yup
Next was Cal Poly. I liked this campus too. It was really pretty and big. (Random fact: My 9th grade english teacher was a professor at this college.) The really cool thing about Cal Poly was that agriculture students were given their own plot of land to work on. Architech students were given their down studio and I thought that was so awesome. What was even more interesting was that the produce grown on the Cal Poly land was also packaged and sold in the Campus Market. LOL How cool!
After that, we drove to this pizza place called "Cheezers" and we got a pretty big single pizza and a plate of salad and a pretty big cup of soda. LOL It was sooo yummy. I was sooo full. I didn't even finish the whole thing. LOL What I found really fasicnating about that restaurant were the bullet holes in the windows. You could see the bullet marks but the glass was so thick it did not shatter. So there's just a bunch of holes in the window. LOL Kinda crazy, but makes me feel safe to know that if someone from the outside tried to shoot I'd be safe. xD (I'm so lame)
Okay, so we're done eating.. yada yada yada.. we drive to our hotel and we check in. It was a nice room. Pretty big. I shared it with Yuning and 2 other girls from Eagle Rock. Yuning and I slept on the sofa bed and they hogged the good bed. LOL
We slept around 1 am because one of my roommates were on the phone with some dude she liked and she talked on the phone REALLY LOUD. At one point we were all so loud that the security guard from the lobby came up to our room and told us that we were too loud and that he could hear us from the lobby. I was like WOW!!!!!!!!!! We're THAT LOUD?!!!
Will post about Day 2 a bit later. I need to do chores now.. xD
