1/17 - Sambo came from UCSD to visit me (and other people, but who cares about them. Just kidding!) She had this crazy adventure coming into and leaving from USC! It'd take forever to write it out, but those who should know already know what happened :) Through her crazy travels, she discovered cucumber soda which is surprisingly good and it really does taste like cucumber!
We went to Little Tokyo and found some pretty interesting things. It was super fun, but it was raining cats and dogs D:
After helping Sambo get her taxi for only like 5 minutes in the crazy rain, we were super soaked!
1/20 - I talked to the guy who played "Dewey" from that old TV show "Malcolm in the Middle." It wasn't really a star-struck experience or anything and it was actually the most mundane/insignificant conversation ever, but I talked to him nonetheless! I hope he doesn't see this post since he's a student at USC too haha
1/29 - I went back to Little Tokyo again, but with Steffo this time! As usual, we did random stuff and found lots of weird things.
Steffo likes little boys.
We found a book called Haikus for Jews. It's pretty inspiring. Here's a random Haiku I picked out. To be honest, I don't really get how this Haiku has anything to do with Jews, but I found it relatively amusing.
2/5 - This time I went to K-town with Steffo! As expected, we found some more weird stuff.
2/6 - I'm not sure if this is the right date, but I believe this is when my dorm flooded D: I live on the 3rd floor and somebody down the hall pulled (?) on the sprinkler and well, flooded the dorms! Lucky for me, my suite wasn't affected, but Stanley's was and he got locked out of his room. Coincidentally enough, Steffo was gone for some Christian convention, so I let him stay for the night.
MMMM snug like a bug in Steffo's bed.
2/17 - I went to my first press conference ever! It was for Kollaboration 10. I really didn't do much of anything, but camwhore with Andrew. Way to do something productive, Mai.
2/19 & 20 - USC was holding a Japanese Film Festival of sorts and It was really good! I watched Hana to Alice & Kuuki Ningyo. Both were really interesting to watch, so I highly recommend others to see it too!
2/27 - I had my first dance show at USC ever with TCDance, "Dance to a New Year." It went really well (as a whole. I don't really think I can say the same for myself though). I was having thoughts that maybe TCD wasn't for me, but after the show, I realized I really liked it :) From what I know, I think I'll be staying at least a while longer!
3/4 - There was a movie screening of "Mother" at USC and I really really enjoyed it! One of the most interesting stories I've seen in a long time :) I also recommend people to watch this movie to! It was really great to see Kim Hyeja & Won Bin to play characters completely different from what most people are used to seeing them do.
For the first time ever, I ate at Chipotle with Donna :0 The burritos are so fat! I dropped so much stuff that I formed a circle of food around me on the floor :( There was a free promotional thing at Coffee Bean, so I got a free Spring Peach Tea Latte too (thanks to Annie)! Mmm what a tasty day.
3/5 - I went to the 3 Romanticists concert which was supposed to feature Kim Bum Soo, Yoo Seung Chan and K.will, but only the last 2 went 'cause Kim Bum Soo didn't get a performing visa :( Regardless, it was super awesome! Even though Yoo Seung Chan is a rookie, he did a great job. I already loved K.will, but to see him live made me love him even more! Yoo Seung Chan gave out free CDs at the concert too :)
3/6 - I went to Kollaboration 10 and it was pretty fun! I've never been before, so I didn't know what to expect. I now know that I like the Shrine haha It's so big and even when I was on the balcony I could still see really well! Congrats to USC's very own Jason Yang for winning an award! (I don't remember what it's called :\)
3/10 - Janis let me try one of these cookies that her friend made and although I only had one, it was so good and I knew I had to try it! They were green tea cookies with red bean paste filling :) I'm not very experienced in cooking/baking, so I figured I'd have to try really hard not to screw it up! Funny enough when I tried to go find all the ingredients with Steffo in K-town, they didn't have anything we needed! I never knew that Korean markets wouldn't have green tea powder of red bean paste :\ In the end, our second batch turned out really well! Or at least my sister likes it a lot :)
I actually have a lot more pictures, but uploading these alone took forever & I got lazy! Check out my facebook for more :)
And now I'm on Spring Break!! :)
