halloween is ovaaa. successful weekend, i would say.

friday night i went to melissa's party at her apartment. i dressed as a lion!

ron didn't get into the spirit.

last night i spent at home--passed out candy to trick or treaters and studied a bit. lame i know, but its midtermzz and i gotta get shit together. anyways, later that night i decided to go out for a bike ride to the west hollywood parade. i was a french girl!

and all of the costumes were INSANE at the parade. i definitely want to get a group together for next year to go again. make a whole outing of it. anyways, back to studying pyramids and dynasties for me! xx

27. woah, hey.

it's been a long time. i've been incredibly busy with classes, work, cec, concerts and friends. i don't have many picture to show for it, unfortunately, but i did have my birthday party on friday:

be healthy! drink oj!

ron

whoopi, melissa.

and now it's the start of midterms. i have one tomorrow (math) and another on tuesday (life science). i'm starting to stress but hopefully all of my studying will pay off. i have been pushing myself incredibly hard, my brain feels fried. anyways, bye for now!

26. back!

i've been back at ucla for a little over a week now. it's been amazing! i'm living in a dorm with just me and michelle, and we share a bathroom with a couple of randoms. it's all good though because we have the best room! its so cute and SPACIOUS, unlike last year's cramped living quarters.

i started classes on thursday and i'm loving it so far! after looking at the syllabi for all of my classes, i realized that i won't have to write ANY papers this entire quarter. i'm not complaining! this is going to be a very relaxing 10 weeks. i will, however, work very hard when necessary.

my life science class seems awesome! the professor is really friendly and accessible, and he seems to really care about student learning. my art history professor is funny and nice too. she seems a little scattered and so i'll have to get used to that. but other than that, it should be a fun and challenging class! my math teacher is straight from the ukraine and her accent says it all. it's a little difficult to understand her and it will DEFINITELY take some getting used to but all in all i think (hope...) i'll be able to keep up in that class.

anyways, i'm gonna go eat some brunch now bye!!
