Hey yoz... i am in St Louis now with my TEDDY!!! hahah... it's been an eye opener really. the sch is really different from UofM... DUH... got good and bad lah... but let's just say that i think ann arbor still rockz!!! though many ppl out there would beg to differ (look over shoulder to see jebai... heehee).
the dorm is really nice and new. no narrow short ass corridor like we have in michigan. it is like east quad i think? but onli better. some of these dorms are onli built in 1998!!! and they are gonna tear down this OLD dorm which is like 30 yr old? and build on new one soon. WOW... but i realise that the incoming freshie is onli 1600... which make the entire campus student population about 8000 maybe?! tat is just insane... tat is like the amt of freshie we get in a single year. so you probably would imagine this place to be really small. but no so!!! the academic area is as big as central campus or even larger and i would say it is nicer!! think law quad style and spread it across the whole campus!!! yesh... excessive use of !!! but wat can i say? i am just impressed and impressed. MUAHAH... well, the weather here is really nice oso. was weather a tshirt with a Wash U (hmm... think the sch need a new short form leh... Wash U? wat abt a back scrub to go with it!?!?) sweatshirt tat Teddy bought for me. MUAHAH... yup, the weather is really nice. heehee!!!
yeah, and coz the freshie grp is so small, every one noes one another, which is nice in a way but just not impossible to be done in UofM. but i guess tat really bond eh? hmm... so tat is one thing.
one thing tat REALLY fascinates me the MOST and i really realll like about Back Scrub, er... no i mean Wash Me... nonono... U not Me... (okie... lame...) is tat all classes in the sch is taught by faculty members. no GSI (or TA as they call it here). discussion, lecture and everything all done by Prof. which is really something amazing. faculty to student ration is like 1 to 7. imagine how fantastic this is!! awesome i say!!! but yeah... it is a small school and you can get this kind of things to happen. but hmm... nice rite nice rite!?!?!
okie.. the bad things. if you think (you, not me hor) ann arbor is boring, this place would be hell for you. there is no South U or shops around this place. and i mean none. forget abt the "horrible" briarwood coz the nearest mall is 1 hr drive away. and you have to drive there, coz there ain't no bus and you gotta get thru a highway so no bikes sorry. bunch of cafes selling coffee and munchies and tat's abt it. things are way overpriced here coz the sch sells everything. the onli have two fast food here, Taco and Subway, but one closes at 5 and the other at 8. hmm... bs rite?! the onli late nite ones are the cafes. and yeah, the nearest nearest form of makan and grocery place is call the loop and it is 25 minute walk away. errrrrrr... 25 minute walk in snow during winter? I THINK NOT!!! so no lousy nactos, no lousy brown jug, no lousy wendys. MUAHAHAH... man i feel even more lucky now!!!
i probably should blog abt my journey here oso rite?! tat would come later when i am in the mood or something like tat. but yeah. i am still alive and enjoying meeting up with Teddy again. armhawan, you dun freaking disappoint me ok!?!?! you better travel around cali with me dude. and yeah, can you pls pick up the phone wheneva i call you or at least have the courtesy of calling back when you see those miss calls? argh.. *slap*
