Touching the Ocean...

Hiding the fact that I'm breaking apart inside

Poison The Well

Live and alive from UCSD, La Jolla, CA! It's been a busy, yet incredible, first week-and-a-half: let's sum up.

Been through an endless trip, including big hurry in JFK to get my plane for San Diego right on time (my luggage didn't make it though, was sent to LAX the day after and delivered home. Neat.). Lived with a wonderful family during the first days, enjoying 'the American experience' at its best, touching the ocean for the first time in my life and learning how smart and sarcastic kids a third of my age are. Then moved on campus, settled in my apartment, went on intensive shopping at the grocery store for basic stuff (which anyway was enough for 5 days, since everything here's SO BIG), met my workmates, set up accounts and stuff at CAIDA, got my hand scanned to access SDSC, apparently survived tons of paperwork and red tape, rented a car, already started searching for housing, eventually met my boss, made some friends, been driving around without getting lost (so far), and finally started enjoying the whole thing!

Some pictures follow. I haven't been taking many yet -- but I've been quite busy, haven't I? :)
