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? :)
