More Professors and More Dorm Mates

With the premiere of the "WF" schedule yesterday, we were introduced to new Professors. And on Wednesday night it was a crisis involving Lance trying his best to move my High School classmate Chope into the Dorms inside La Salle. That included a conflict with a dorm neighbor regarding the room assignments being scrambled. Specifically, if Chope moves in... it might cause a chain reaction of restoring the Master List of which room has who in it. I'm not affected by this in any way. I'm disappointed though in the neighbor who conflicted with Lance, he was a bit selfish when he said "...I cleaned my new room for five whole hours, and only two of us are inside it. I don't want three yet!"

New dorm mates this semester are: John and Ben join "Dino" in F2. Aldrich, a person just like Lance and myself but his dad is US Airforce (not yet retired) in Guam, moved into F5 and joined Joam who moved from F4 to F5. Chope is supposed to be in F7 if he continues with it. Am I excited? I don't know, I'm more neutral. I've been trying to move away from High School, not let it move back in with me. No offense Chope, I know you already know the problems back in HS... the silent problems.

Other developments? I believe I've finally spoken to most of the first batch of dormers down the hall except Alex in F6. With everyone else, I've at least had a few sentences shared with them.

This past semester I've also gotten closer to Mark, a really good Accounting student, in F1. He has given me tips on how to improve my grades and my recitation. Right now, my JOU1-1 Class Recitation is at Zero... it's not happening. With Mark's advice, he's got me noticing new things about those in my class who recite. Like where the best place to sit is, how many times to raise your hand, tactics to get known by the Professor but not in the "sip-sep" way. In return, I teach him to improve his English vocabulary. He's actually very smart, but we all know everyone has a weakness and he admitted that speaking English was his.
