LR: Go to the housing admin office asap on move-in day (near Crossroads dining common), preferably a bit before it opens so that you can request to change dorms before everyone else.

The only way for you to get into the units is for someone to be willing to swap with you into Bowles. I did this as the FIRST GUY IN LINE and they called me literally one month before spring semester was over. I guess no one wanted to swap into Bowles. You might have better luck, although if anyone is willing to swap into Bowles, their roommate (and your future roommate) is probably a fucking psycho and they want to get out lulz.

The sad thing is that spring admits who didn't even get into fucking Berkeley for the fall semester like you and me get fucking suites in the units. Also, the admin office e-mailed all my friends who were in the units with normal doubles asking if they wanted to transfer into double suites. I tried to be sneaky and e-mail them too with the e-mail information my friends gave me but they basically gave me a big 'fuck you' and I was stuck in Bowles.

Basically, the 'rich' get 'richer' and the 'poor' get 'poorer.'

... one in the middle is going to berkeley. Best looking girl at my school (pics don't do her justice). I'd post her number but I don't think it's a good idea to do that on a forum with a ton of horny nerds.

LR just graduated high school T_T!? Every time I find out someone is young, it makes me want to offer myself up as a sacrifice to the War God, because of how little SC skill I have achieved in my long years. I really did think you were going to grad school...

But that makes me wonder, why are you in the states? Did you go to HS here? Did you come here right after high school to go to college? I assumed you were just studying here. Or did your family just move here when you were younger?

Beware though, all you youngsters, I will catch up and surpass you all!

Born Evanston, IL, lived there till Dad got doctorate.

Moved to Keelung, Taiwan. Lived there couple years while travelling w/ dad who was giving speeches an' shit.

Then moved to North Carolina where my parents worked for awhile till

his work brought us to NorCal. Which is where I am now.

Dual citizen; I'd pick USA citizenship over Taiwan if I had to choose. I identify nationally with Taiwan, though, since family is all from there.

Hahahaha...Asian parents really only care about three schools - Behkuhlee, Hahfud, and Stanfud. When I picked UCLA over Cal, my mom had a look of despair on her face. She eventually changed her mind though.

Congrats on making a decision, LR. Even though I'm disappointed I won't see you next year at LA, I wish you the best of luck at Cal. They're both great schools, and you really couldn't go wrong with either one - it's like choosing between steak and lobster.

EDIT: My ex-girlfriend was a big pro-Taiwanese independence girl. Dating her was kind of strange, since neither of my parents approve of the independence movement. I myself don't really care.

EDIT 2: Where'd you live in North Carolina? I was born in Guangzhou, China, then moved to Charlottesville, Virginia while my dad finished up his Ph.D. and then moved to Durham, North Carolina before finally ending up in San Francisco. Seems like we have similar histories

I'm not really pro independence tbh; I favor eventual reunification under a slightly less scary government. If you ask me about reunification now, I say it's out of the question. That puts me ... in the middle -_-; though I'd vote blue if forced.

Yeah, Asian parents are surprising in that they all went to some school or other, and then, once graduating, forgot all about what schools they applied to / went to and selectively remember ~5 names. It's amusing.

A lot of my friends going to UCLA are kind of disappointed, and I'm kind of sad - I like SoCal types more, I think. More sociable, less ... whatever.

But I'll deal with it.
