Holy moly, what a week.
I would love to tell you what I have been up to for the past week or so, but for the most part I cannot even remember what has been going on. It has been such a whirlwind that putting any thoughts into a coherent blog would be next to impossible.
I think I went through orientation at some point last week, as I have a vague memory of a blur of faces and odd people therein. I definitely recall seeing a dozen or so of the USC cheerleading squad -- in their uniforms -- sitting on their bicycles outside the USC stadium. Oh, I have a VERY clear recollection of that.
Uh, let's see now. I got my apartment unpacked... scrambled to buy my textbooks (one class has 7 required books), I had to buy a parking permit for the semester for $200... I found out that my semester budget will allow little more than cup-o-noodles for the next year... and I also somehow managed to get my first parking ticket very early on and almost had my car towed this morning.
No matter what I was up to, however, I am pleased to report that every day has been sunny, clear and bright, not too hot and not too cool. And there are palm trees. Lots and lots of palm trees.
You're jealous of me? Heck, I am jealous of me.
It is bizarre, I have to admit. I never actually pictured myself living in Los Angeles. And although I miss all my family and friends back home very much, I am glad to be here, even if I am surrounded by Californians.
That's all for now. Classes start tomorrow, at which point time will be a very scarce commodity. But please keep in touch anyway, and feel free to stop by and visit if you get the chance.
