This was (IMO) the last redeeming aspect to Westwood Village. You could get some tasty Brazilian food, fresh Thai basil, some good honey and bushels of fresh ( Read more... )

I hate this time of the night/morning when I'm working on a paper. 2am on the day that a paper is due reminds me a lot of passing Coalinga on the 5 on your way up to the Bay Area.

Today I had my first 13+ hour day of this academic year. Of course, my time was not spent on academic endeavors (classes have not started yet), but rather I speny my day working on the various encumbrances that i've managed to tangle myself into over the last years here at UCLA ( Read more... )
