This past week has felt like spring break. I've forgotten what it's like to go to school.

The trip down to SoCal with my parents wasn't very fun. The Occidental campus was very nice; I didn't enjoy the Claremont one too much......but UCLA = wow. That is one freaking amazingly gorgeous campus. I love it. It's insanely huge, but it's wonderful. The highlight of my trip was seeing Boris (from RYLA) at the UCLA Welcome Day. I love running into RYLA people everywhere. What fun =D.

One interesting thing happened on the way back from LA. We were stopped at a gas station, and I must’ve been really dazed because I walked into the men’s bathroom and didn’t even realize it until I saw a guy standing by a wall. I remember thinking it was really bizarre…..Why would there be a random guy standing around just staring at a wall? It took me a few seconds to realize that he was standing over a urinal. So then I bolted out of there. I came really close to seeing something I didn’t want to see.

The morning after I got back from L.A. I went to school bright and early to take my anatomy midterm, then I rushed home to pack for Philly, and then sped off to the airport to catch my plane. I love airsickness pills. Flying is so much more enjoyable when you’re not puking out your guts.

Philadelphia was freaking awesome. It was fun seeing my sister again, and I had a great time hanging out with her (and her boyfriend)
- Philly cheesesteaks are the absolute best
- Walking in downtown Philly, my sister and I are the only Asians
- Saw some historic stuff: liberty bill, place where Declaration of Independence was signed, etc.
- There are a lot of trees and brick buildings in Philadelphia
- Got hit on by three guys (the way it happened was hilarious)
- Went shopping in a GIGANTIC mall
- Drivers don’t wait for a green light to go. It’s very funny.

The Haverford Campus Day was good. I love the campus and I love the people just as much as I love UCLA. Damn. Now I have a really tough decision facing me: UCLA or Haverford? Too bad I can’t go to both.

That was my week in a nutshell. Now I have a week’s worth of makeup work to do for school and Interact stuff to catch up on. Ah!

OH, this was also my first time flying alone. I’m proud. Not really….everything’s easy when you have airsickness pills. Drugs are good.

UCLA or Haverford…..
