life

Here comes a little update from Isla Vista. After Vegas not a lot happened over here. I sleep in every day as long as I want and usually go for a run after I wake up. You would probably be suprised how much I eat over here, because it is not much to be honest. A bagle or cornflakes in the morning and a dinner around 5 or so and that is pretty much it. I haven’t had Fast Food since the first day I came here when we went to Wendy’s in the UCen. Here are little updates:

- When we came back from class last week, we saw our first skunk! It was running away from us probably scared that I would spray it ;)

- It maybe does not look like it, but I am actually doing something for school too! We have lots of reading assignments. It is probably like 2000 pages just for this quarter. We have little quizzes in our “Understanding the numbers” class too. I also applied for a job at the UCSB called “Landscaping and Grounds”. I havent heard from them yet though. I might have to stop by at their office!

- Just to get you guys jealous I marked my running route on google maps:

- We took Bills Bus downtown on Thursday again and went clubbing to a place called tonic. Mira from South Korea and Elodie from France were with us this time. Poor Mira wasn’t used to loud music though. I felt bad for her. The club was awesome and I only spent 10 bucks for bills bus and 3 for my coat in the club. I guess this is a new record for me. On our way back I lost everybody of my friends. A guy called Lee showed me the way to Bills Bus and I met some crazy Egyptian named Hans (I guess he was kidding) who tried to talk german. I finally got onto the next bus..

- On Wednesdays we have a class called “Global Economics”. I love this class because our professor Mr.V teaches in a very entertaining way so that everybody is paying close attention. He connects political and historical aspects to todays economy! Its like an interesting current events class mixed with US-History, political science and global economics, Just awesome!

- Yesterday bass was shaking me out of my bed. After some Orangejuice I tried to find out what the heck was going on. See for yourself:

Update: When I was running my usual route a couple of hours ago I was running up the Campus Point when I saw some Soldiers form the Army with a hummer up there doing some training. They also had M16 machine guns with them. I guess I was too intimidated to ask them what they were doing up at the Lagoon ;)
