- UCLA beats WSU, 42 to 28 points! Go Bruins!
I’ve been here for two weeks and I truly feel like a Bruin. On Friday, I went to the Annenberg Space for Photography with the UCLA Photo Club. They have an exhibit of Photos of the Year along with a movie reel of interviews with photographers along with their photography. What each photographer reiterated was that photography captures a memory and emits such emotion–if it weren’t for the mascara (that was not waterproof), I would have dripped some tears with some of the powerful photos.
On Saturday, I went to my first football game–which started off with rain (bring out the ponchos in LA, y’all) and ended up in horrible heat to the point that students hid in the Rose Bowl tunnels to avoid the heat (and all the sunburn, of course). Despite the fact that it’s a full-day event, I really do love the energy of the crowd during college football.
Today, I met up with Mel (my former UCSD suitemate) and had a lovely brunch in her neighborhood in Santa Monica. As a Santa Monica noob (does anyone use “noob” anymore?), she showed me the epic pier and Third Street Promenade.
Tomorrow begins Week 2 of classes–and I’ve already turned in a 15 page paper, had a quiz, other group projects, and met several people who have made it in the industry that I want to make it in. Though adjusting to a new school is very difficult (especially when I loved and continue to love my previous university), I really do feel like a UCLA student now.
now this is the serena we know :)
glad to see you’ve pretty much made LA yours.
