I actually haven’t blogged in a while and I figured now is the perfect chance to get that one post that’ll collect dust for another…oh about 5 months.
Today, April 20th, 2009, marks the day that my appeal efforts got rejected. I received a letter from UC Irvine stating that despite my effots, they still cannot offer me admission. Yeah okay, I’m a little bummed out, but after getting rejected a second time from UC Santa Cruz, I didn’t expect to get into Irvine. So I submitted my SIR to UC Riverside today. Making me an official…highlander is it? They’re bears with kilts I think. Today also marks the hottest day April 2009 has seen. It made me ask myself, “Goddammit, how am I going to survive living at Riverside when I can’t hand a measely 92 degrees?” Most of the answers I received went a little like “Stay inside where there’s air conditioning.” and that’s very true. I guess I’ll have to live my college life cooped up in a) My dorm or b) the library. Sounds exciting huh? But then I realized, despite the hot weather, going to school down in Southern California may not be so bad. I realized this while talking to my friend Patrick. We basically plotted out how far Riverside was from Irvine and how long it would take. (1 hour drive) I also calculated the distance to my family down in SoCal, Calpoly SLO, UCSC, UCSD, and Korea Town. A lot of my friends go to school in SoCal so it would be an advantage to be down there with them. I’ll always adjust and make new friends so I don’t think this whole, “Riverside is the fail school” idea will last very long. Besides, I’ve got studying abroad and transferring to UC Irvine to motivate me to work hard and get the hell out of the desert.
