The beginning of my Summer

It’s been so much fun hanging out with my family and friends. And of course, I have to mention about my first UCLA experience. First of all, I really want to say is that driving to UCLA freaking sucks!! I have a 8:30 class in the morning, so I have to get up early in the morning, and I’m sure to all of us that it makes sense that I have to get up early, right?! So I got up at 6:30am, and showered and grabbed a cup of coffee, and began my journey to UCLA. However, I was stuck in the traffic for almost 2 hours, TWO HOURS!!!! Isn’t that ridiculous?! I was so embarrassed walking into the classroom. I also was stuck in the traffic on the way back home around 3:30pm for another TWO HOURS! That’s FOUR hours in total! It’s nut, and it is driving me crazy. Honestly, I just can’t stand the traffic in LA. But other than the traffic, I really love my classes, and the professors and TA’s are nice and friendly.

My friend Jeremy and his friend Tiffany from Virginia Tech were on the their way to China for a mission trip, and they had a chance to stop by LA for about two and half days, so I was the tour guide for them. It wasn’t easy to be a tour guide because it was exhausting especially I did all the driving. But I had fun, and I am so glad we got the chance to hang out, and he and Tiffany, were able to see some of the hot spots in LA. Since I’m taking summer classes at UCLA, so I thought it might be a good idea for them to see how UCLA is like, so I dragged them along with me. Jeremy brought his frisbee with him to UCLA cuz he promised he would teach me how to play it, so he did, and I learned how to throw a frisbee during my break. I can now play Frisbee with people. Sweeet!!

I have a paper due on Tuesday, and I haven’t even started reading at all. Oh no!! I’m quite behind on my readings, and I’ll be going to Hawaii and New York for the next two weekends (I’m sooooo excited about these two trips). That means I’ll have not much time to read and study. I better start reading now.
