Hey, i haven't posted here in a while, but im in need of assistance. I ran out of gatsby hair wax that i always bring up from LA, but havent had the chance recently. Does anyone kno where i can buy it locally?

[monchi]

^Not sure if this is helpful, but they definitely sell gatsby in SF's Japantown. Maybe you could take a short drive there and buy it?

Question: I was wondering if it's necessary to bring your laptop for registering on the days of orientation. Is it still possible to do it when we get there in the fall for freshman?

Thanks. :]

I am! I read a post from another Davis person on here about bringing one just in case, so you can keep up and register. But I can't seem to find it, loll


OMG..Is anyone going to orientation on 7/19-7/21???? Meet up, yeah yeah?

You should bring your laptops if you want to register it to the school's internet ahead of time.

Also, you will be able to register for classes with your own laptop when registration time starts. Everyone else who does not have a laptop must wait in line to use the orientation leader's laptop.

Is anyone still looking for an apartment to live in for the next school year? One of our roomates is dropping out of school T.T so we have an extra room left over. So sad.

Aww it's okay to be nervous! I was really nervous too, but if you think about it, everyone else will be too since no one knows each other. So just relax, be open and smiley, leave your dorm room open and always look friendly! You will have a fun time haha!

im an incoming freshman and my orientation is on July 29-30
I was wondering if anyone could suggest what classes I should take (I am majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology)
At first, i was really excited to learn about my major, but now, I'm really afraid of the difficulty and harsh course load.


also, is there anything to do for fun at Davis?
I already know about Picnic Day and the parties, but are there any shopping malls (im an obsessive shopper), movie theatres, nice hangout spots on campus/town, etc.?

[chuchow!]

my orientation ended a few days ago. it was totally fun even though i didn't stay the nights, i met some really great people just a warning though: ITS SOO DIFFICULT TO GET INTO YOUR CHOICE CLASSES T___T but you know, you get your classes and that itself is exciting the cows are cute too haha.


-EDIT
btw, i just saw the above post: you should check out daviswiki.org to see what kinds of things to do there. there's also alot more info

woah. first time i've met someone with my majors!!
4th year psych (A.B.) and IR major (track IV) :]

When we register during orientation, is there space for us to set our laptops down and plug it into an outlet? I have a pretty old laptop, and I've killed its battery life over the years so I'm pretty sure it wont be able to successfully operate without some kind of power. T_T

Thanks for the laptop related help though. Otherwise, I would've just left my lap top at home. :]

I just got back from orientation today. Overall, it was a really great experience. I met some really nice people (Yes, there were some people who were less than friendly, but hey, you can't win them all over, can you? ) and learned a few new things. I'm disappointed in some of my class choices, but oh well, first quarter's a learning experience anyway!

Word of advice: Just keep introducing yourself. Everyone's in the same boat as you are, and it really won't hurt to just strike up a conversation with the person next to you. The nametags they give you help a lot too, hahah. Oh, and be very open to the classes you end up registering for. Make sure you pick as many as you can, because a lot of them are closed

I gotta say, I was kind of confused by the bathrooms though. Tercero, Laben, 3rd floor, there's a bathroom that had a women's sign, but on the second night, it changed to a men's sign...LOL I was in there with this other girl and we were staring at it like, "No...it was definitely a women's sign yesterday."

monchi: Yeah, there's outlets in the laptop registration room, and it really doesn't take long anyway. If you're going to use it to register for classes (My orientation leader preferred that we wait to work one-on-one), you should be able to find an outlet wherever you're meeting them. We were in a lounge area.

You can register your laptop anytime as long as you have a UCD account. I can't find the website though.

no one replied to my question, so i'll ask again:

What classes should take if I am majoring in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology?


and are there any large shopping malls in Davis? or good clothing stores such as H&M, Forever21, Urban Outfitters?
and are there any Tapioca places or Frozen Yogurt places in Davis?

[Yashi]

^i can't help with your question about your major because i'm not in your major. sorry!

but your last two questions -- NO, there are no large shopping malls or good clothing stores like f21 in davis. hitch a ride with your upperclassmen friends (if your lucky) to arden fair mall in sacramento.

there are tapioca places -- such as the old teahouse and quickly's. there are also a good number of frozen yogurt shops, like yolo berry and cultive. (i'd stick with cultive for cleanliness -- kids, and even college students, tend to dip their hands into the bins at yolo berry. it's gross.)

In your first two years, you'll pretty much take what all other biology majors must take. This includes, physics 7 series, bis 2 series, general chem series, the organic chem series, and calculus.

Generally, most bio majors finish the general chem and calculus classes during their freshmen year. I think it would be a good idea to start the bis 2 series during winter or spring quarter of freshmen year also.

By the time you reach your 3rd year, i'm pretty sure you'll have a good grasp of what you should take for upper division classes.

i think since gottschalks is closing...there may be a f21 coming to that site soon...
