KU Spirit!

Check out my terrible video that I took from my phone during a kind of "pep rally."

KU probably has the most intense school spirit I have ever witnessed. It's amazing. We had this cheering practice thing yesterday and the entire school piled into Tiger Dome which is the stadium thing (my vocabulary is impeccable, I know) and we just screamed and jumped up and down and sang and bonded for a good 3.5 hours.

My back hurts to bad, but I feel so much closer with the school. It was amazing. We started at 4:30 and my KUBA group left around 8..... I'm pretty sure the cheering didn't stop until around 9/9:30. It was sooo long. My group just got hungry and tired so we left to get food.

I have to say I'm in love with Korean food.

I'll post again about my first day of classes soon! I'm sorry!

I'll make a more detailed post about the cheering later too, I'm just in a hurry because I have to go take a placement test for some class that I have to take (I'm not even sure what the class is~~)

Peace out, yo.

I don't know why I got all gangster.

pictures soon!

Class Registration is Stressful

So, I Would like to point out that I'm a international FRESHMAN student.

I have never ever registered for classes before

And all of my exchange friends keep talking about the horrors they went through while registering for classes. I'm SO nervous~~~~

I had orientation yesterday, which I would like to say was pretty useless. Most of the international students are Chinese, there are only like 15 non-Chinese international students so basically the entire orientation was about what Chinese students need to do for visas and stuff.

She only covered class registration for a minute. She didn't say anything about what credit I need or anything. She just said "You need 130 credits to graduate and I recommend you do 12 credits your first semester"

12 credits of what?!!?! Am I required to take a science? or a math? or even History? Because if you don't tell me I'm going to avoid those subjects at all costs.

So basically I chose all the English classes I could find (that weren't any of the subjects stated above) There aren't very many classes in English, but there are definitely enough to have a couple semesters of just English classes, which is nice.

So hopefully my schedule will look something like this:

Intermediate French Tues-Fri
Korean for beginners Mon-Thurs
Language and Culture Tues & Thurs
English and Human Mind Mon &Weds
Syntax Mon &Weds

Once again, I pray this will be my schedule. Sadly, I don't really have any days off, but that's okay. I'm new at this. I can perfect my scheduling later when I'm not so stressed.

There were only 3 classes related to my linguistics majour in English and the level wasn't specified. So, I just signed up for Syntax just in case all the other classes were junior level classes or something. I can always drop the class.

I have 6 back up classes just in case I don't get any of these, but I'm REALLY hoping I can get those. Based on the horror stories from my friends and my parents I'm probably going to end up in some really stupid class taught in Korean.

I don't speak Korean.

On the bright side!!!
While I was at orientation I started talking to this one girl and SHE'S FRENCH! So, I'll have a 4-yr undergrad French friend!! I'm so excited. I think there is also another international linguistics freshman. So, hopefully i can make a few non-exchange student friends. I do love my exchangey friends, but they are leaving me in a few months sooo..... yeah.

I woke up 3 hours before  registration begins because that's what everyone recommended I do so I have nothing to do right now...

I'm just going to listen to some kpop and refresh the registration page until I die.
