UAlbany Orientation

Orientation was an interesting experience. Mostly awkward and a little fun.

All I have to say is, I wish I liked UAlbany. I wish I loved it. I wish I didn't choose Albany as my bridge to Binghamton. But I already have, and there's no way I'm changing that. So all the new, crazy, interesting people I met at the orientation won't change how I feel about Albany and Binghamton. Albany will always be the bridge, and Binghamton will always be the goal. It's sad but true.

I don't want to sound like an Asian freak, but there really are no Asians up in Albany. I can't say I wasn't looking for them; I grew up Asians all around me. It's kind of weird when there's suddenly only white and black people all around me. I guess I'll have to get used to that.

That said, Albany is a pretty nice place. It can get really hot and humid in the day, but from what I experienced, it's cool (and humid) in the evening. The school has lots of activities throughout the year, and there's a mall nearby. I couldn't find it, but Google Map can't be wrong.

I've always wanted to get out of the house and live on my own (or in a dorm I guess) but now that it's really happening, it's kind of weird. It scares me a little. Not scary as in, ohmygosh I don't know what to do, I'm going to dieeeee. It scares me because it's something new. I'm anxious, nervous, but excited, all at the same time.

University at Albany. Here I come. Only for a semester though.
