Hey all, can you believe it that Fall quarter is about to start in 1 week???? Summer does go super fast!! I took the chance to get a quick weekend trip to San Francisco to avoid LA heat and to avoid the idea of thinking back to homework and midterms in about 1 week, haha…..

A Sunday parade
Lyon always has lots going on, especially on weekends, which makes studying here a real pleasure. This past Sunday there was a parade on the city’s “presqu’ile,” which means “almost island.” It’s a peninsula formed by the two rivers that run through Lyon that is full of shops, restaurants, people, and (recently) paraders. The parade…
Done with my first week of classes (kinda)
I am now finished with my first week of classes here in France! It feels a little weird to be starting school so early because back at UCLA the quarter system doesn’t get going for another few weeks. I haven’t started my official classes quite yet, though – the ones I’m in right now (for…
Playing Tourist
After realizing that I only have a few more weeks before school starts, I had a sudden urge to go out and walk around my hometown, Monterey Bay. I packed myself a backpack with a bottle of water and a book to read, put on my earphones, and I was off. Living in the bay…
En France
Yahoo! I am finally in France for my year of studying abroad with EAP. I’ve been here for almost a week now and already a lot has happened. I spent my first few days in the city’s international student center with around 60 other UC students. It’s been a ton of fun (despite being kind…
Getty Villa
This week I decided to take a short trip to Los Angeles, mostly to say goodbye to the campus and the people, before I leave to live in France for the year. I’ve already taken several walks around school (one of which was supposed to be long and meandering but ended up with me just…
National Championships for trampoline
I had the pleasure of judging the National Championships for trampoline last weekend. It was pretty awesome to be able to decide who got to be the national champion, and really fun to meet and work with people from all over the country. It was a bit surreal to be back after competing in the meet…
Traveling in Switzerland
Greetings from Switzerland! It has been more than 14 days since I have been in Europe, and everything is so dreamy that I am afraid I will wake up any minute in my bed in Westwood. I am traveling with UCLA’s Travel Study program with the Urban Planning department on global governance, and it is…
Getting My Visa
Okie doke, this is the first of what will be many posts chronicling my study abroad experience. I am going to be studying in France for the whole year next year, and even though I’m still in the states for now, lots of stuff has happened (and continues to happen) to get me ready for…
Olympic Trials
Chances are on most weekends throughout the school year, I am judging a gymnastics meet. It is the dream college student job; I get paid and fed. To keep my judges certification, I am required to do a certain number of continuing education hours. Some of these can be met by in-gym observation, but a…
