Completely Californicated

It's only been four days and I already feel completely at home here. Westwood (the neighbourhood around UCLA) got ravaged by rain non-stop the past few days. The houses around here clearly weren't built for that kind of pouring. It did ease my personal transition to the current sunny Californian weather though.

What did you miss the past few days? Tons, so let me sum it up for you, dear reader.

How to make friends - step 1
It didn't take me long to build up a group of interesting and sympathetic people around me. It just happened, like a snap of a finger. Americans are not at all as I thought they would be. I haven't had one dull conversation yet!

Hmmm, pancakes
The food served here at the Co-op is quite good. It's basically prepared by the residents who are accompanied by one of the Co-op cooks. I love the American breakfast, though I am feeling a substantial lack of fiber annoying my intestins. I'll need to do something about that ASAP.

Flirtmeister
The women around here are just, wow. I'm just flabbergasted. New objective set: flirt with at least 5 girls a day and get at least 1 to date you.

Academic aspirations
This morning started with an abrupt resentment against any kind of academic work. After having my first lecture, this lack of interest kind of dissolved on its own. Now I just need to find myself a laser printer for all the tons of texts they want me to read...

Blegh. This isn't interesting at all is it? I need to buff up my writing skills a bit.

And now for some lunch...
