Yielding Right at the Fork in the Road

Spring break’s end is rapidly approaching and I for one feel as though a lot has changed, or, at least, there’s a lot of development. I have a feeling right now of reserve, excitement, joy, innocence, passion, and at the same time scared, all as I start my final quarter as a student at the [...]

Day Two: Spring Break 2006

With the first stellar day in the books, day two would have to accomplish a lot in order to avoid being outdone by day one. Fortunate for us, it was pretty damn fun. Tuesday, we headed out to Napa Valley for the culture and wine tasting. Napa is a pretty wonderful place, for those of [...]

Day One: Spring Break 2006

Fortunate for all of you, my laptop is with me and by my side as I make my way through Northern California. I left Fresno after my brief weekend in town and headed up to Davis, California. On the way, I picked up Katie who was visiting her brother at St. Mary’s in Moraga (Walnut [...]

The Final Four

Sure, it wasn’t the most exciting game ever, but UCLA somehow, someway, has made it to the final four. They survived a number of injuries and grew to play wicked defense. They beat Memphis this evening, 50-45. Funny enough, as ESPN cited, our football team this season only had 3 games with a score lower [...]

How Sweet It Is

… to be done with finals. While it was just the seventh finals week of my UCLA career (five regular quarter finals, two summer), it was absolutely great to get everything done with this morning after my 8am final. It’s kind of a shame though that I don’t feel so confident about it. I’m confident [...]

Pure Madness

Down by 17, UCLA forces a turn over with 8 seconds left and pull out a victory to win by two points. I can’t take this. Not during finals week. Not ever. On to the Elite Eight and Memphis. P.S. I *Heart* LSU for eliminating Duke and Coach K, Reddick, and co. P.S.S. I *Heart* LSU [...]

The Break for Spring Approaching

Ah spring. It’s a lovely time. Mostly because of the break involved. Weather in Los Angeles could never indicate a seasonal change. I’ve actually had some grades come back already and we’re not even done with finals week. I was thrilled to get an A in my History seminar, that big big BIG paper I [...]

That Awkward Phase

I’ve really sucked at writing as of late. I mean, even my birthday happened I didn’t write. Dare I say my life is that boring, not worth an update twenty-four hours later? I’d like to think not. So in the spirit of, well, not having a boring life, here’s the highlights of stuff that I [...]

The Worst Headline/Story I've Ever Read

Time to Go Dancing

This weekend, the last sense of peace and calm before the storm known as week ten (two papers, totaling 35 pages) and finals week wrapped up quite well. It all started with my parents coming down for a birthday dinner. Mitch and Katharine came along as well, which was nice. Speaking of which, I got my first [...]
