Move-in

Hello!!

I'm trying to blog so that you guys can be update with my life here at RIT...

I have Facebook, and I use it pretty often...

However, some of you (like old-fashioned 'rents) don't have Facebook...

Anyway, I want to start with the day I flew and moved in...

From my experience on flight during first year at RIT, it was usually looong and unbearable...

It's unbearable because I have skinny butt that it would kill me if I sit too long...

I mean, I'm pretty sure you know I'm skinny, so I do have skinny butt ;-)

Fortunately, this time, from Burbank to JFK (an airport in NYC), it was pretty fast for me...

I bought two magazines before getting on the airplane...

I bought Reader's Digest (I love that magazine since I was young!) and MacWorld (Duh, I love Apple!)...

So, I read both of these magazines and then BAM! I landed!

WOW! It's like two to three hours, but it was actually at least five hours long flight!

I got off the plane, and I found out that I have two hours before getting on another flight from JFK to Rochester...

That's why I love Jetblue because they provide free wireless internet at the airport!

So, I pulled out my Ax (that's the name for my MacBook...yes I'm that crazy) and used it right away...

I was facebooking, emailing, and imming for an hour...

I went to the gate to check if they are going to Rochester, but then I saw the sign said that gate will go to Orlando...

I was like hmmm, okay I better check...

It was long before I was able to speak with a guy at the table...

Unsurprisingly, the gate changed and I didn't know (keep in mind that I'm deaf)...

So, I decide next time, when I get airplane ticket, I will try to remember to set text messaging alerts whenever my flight changed...

Anyway, it was twenty minutes before my flight will take off!

I have to run down the hall and then go on a shuttle to Gate 20...

I ran down with my mom's old carry-on with rollers (I'm so happy that my mum found it a day before I left!!)

Whew...I got on the airplane five minutes before it left!!

However, when it was on the runway, I sat in that airplane for at least 40 minutes before I finally took off...

It was short travel because it took about an hour...

Finally, I arrived at Rochester airport!!! I was so excited!!

Unfortunately, some of people on the airplane took forever to get off...

So, I text some of my friends to see if they can give me ride from the airport to RIT...

Unfortunately, at least four friends of mine cannot give me a ride...what kind friends are they?!

Anyway, I have to take cab by myself for the first time...

It was not fun at all!

I have to communicate with the driver somehow that I need to go to RIT at specific dorm named Sol Huemann...

I managed to have my driver understand where to go with my RIT ID =D

Here I was behind the driver in the cab...



Anyway, I got there and I have RA (Resident Assistant) let me into my dorm since I don't have key with me.

So, here are the pictures of dorm when I first enter...







I soon decided to snap a picture of myself in the mirror so that you can see what I look like when I move in (hahaha, I'm weird huh??)



okay, that's all for today...

Actually, I want to say something...

My back and neck is in pain!!! I think it's cuz of stupid, rock-like bed!!!

I actually jumped and ran to all my friends whenever I saw them...

and then, of course, hugged them!!!

One of my friends (because of our inside joke), I screamed, "DAWWWG!!!" and hugged her like crazy!

hahaha...

For last two days, I've been unpacking and I'm almost done...

I will try to remember to take picture of clean dorm...

So, it's late right now...

Once again, I will try to update this blog website

Have a good night!
