G’mo’s Night Out!
Last Thursday Kanie said that the Geronimo’s, which is the dorm’s cafeteria-style restaurant, was giving out free food. We weren’t sure why, but free food is always nice (just as long as they don’t poison us). We went there early like around 7:30 p.m. and they were just setting up. Then a lot of people started showing up after 8 p.m. when it began.
Should Be Studying…
I should actually be studying for my JOUR400 Mass Communications Law and Ethics midterm, but I’m not. I’m procrastinating like a typical college student. Bleh. The thought of updating this seemed more appealing, and I haven’t had any updates for a while again either, so I figured that I might as well do it now…
I found white hair on my head one day! *cry* It was pretty random. I was combing my hair before going to school, and I found it. I pulled it out just to take a photo. Haha. I think I still have one somewhere on my head, but they were short. I wonder why it happened? Stress?
The Vendor Fair was last week at school. The stuff the vendors were selling looked very tempting but not at the same time, mainly because I am a pretty picky shopper. I think about how often would I use/wear this and everything.
I also signed up for the Upper Division Writing Proficiency Exam (UDWPE) that’s happening on Oct. 17. I’ve heard it’s very easy from many many people, so I hope that when I take it, I pass it. Otherwise, I would have to take it again, and it would be a waste of time. Either way, it’s necessary to take in order to graduate.
First Week Back to CSUN
Hello. Welcome to the first week of the 2009-2010 year of CSUN, but that passed already. Haha. I’m just saying that because I’m going to give you a recap of how my first week went. I can’t believe it’s already my fourth year.
“Vent At The Tent” is a booth where students can go to complain about how the recent budget cuts are affecting them. It could be from trying to add any classes, but you can’t because the professors don’t provide the permission numbers anymore. The department does instead. It could also be the tuition increase by roughly 30%. It was about $1,867 just last semester, and it is now $2,393. I am sure there are much more to this, but it just shows how much California and the California State Universities are under budget right now, and the state of the economy right now isn’t really helping anyone, even professors and everyone who works at the university. They are forced to take at least nine furlough days where they can’t work or teach and can’t contact students in any form.
Clubs and Organizations Day took place on Wednesday and Thursday. I went to check it out because I was pretty bored, and I had an idea of showing off the first week of CSUN in my blog. Not kidding. Pretty sad, huh? Haha.
So, I went closer to take a better look on some clubs. Most of them are fraternities and soroities, so I didn’t really bother with many of them. I wasn’t really interested in many of the clubs anyway since I don’t think I will be dedicating my time to them. I am in an organization called University Ambassadors, though, so at least I am in something?
