So one week at college despite classes only starting yesterday. Best college moment:

Before coming to campus, I joined various facebook groups related to my dorm, one specifically for freshies, created by a guy named Jeff. He and Ankit, another guy I met on facebook, happened to move in early together like me, so for a couple of days we are really the only people in the dorm. Jeff and Ankit are hanging out and want me to come along after my orientation activities. Neglecting to give me the room number they will be in, I hunt around the east side for a while before finding the door.

I knock, one of them comes and opens the door, and in unison, Jeff and Ankit shout, “MO!!!”

And this is the first time I’m ever meeting these people. There we have it — the magic of facebook.

Since, I have pissed off Jeff and Ankit several times by ignoring their invitations to go various places and most importantly, by not sitting by them in chem yesterday. Now they want nothing to do with me — ouch.

I’m living in a suite situation, with a roommate, and then sharing a bathroom with two other girls. Since I’ll be mentioning them, let’s introduce them now (apologies for the bad picture):

Left to right: Landy (rhymes with blondie), Emily, Kimeya (my roommate) and me.

Went to quad day, joined a bunch of groups I have no intention of actually joining (the best group ever, JCT, wasn’t even represented at quad day…) but maybe I’ll attend some first meetings of things — Jef (different from Jeff, this is Jef Mei, who is friends with another friend, Ed, a sophomore in EE), Chris, Jeff, Ankit, and a few other people were at dinner last night. Apparently every meal is a competition for Jeff and Ankit, but Jef decided, after eating a lot of spaghetti, that he actually DID want to attend the first meeting of Kendo.

Kendo is cool, but going on a full stomach does not sound like a pleasant experience. Getting used to dinner ENDING at 7pm is going to be an adjustment. Later on while watching the Princess Bride in a giant group on floor 3, everyone was hungry again and we sort of dissolved into throwing chocolate at each other, and eventually consuming cookies from a care package Jeff’s mom sent.

So here are your quad day pics:

Gotta love swarms of people telling you to sign up for underwater hockey team.
