Hello hello!
Well, since I last blogged, many things have happened, and many things are about to happen, even though it's only been a week and a half.
First of all, in the image above, I'm sitting on the sofa in my living room, wearing the MUSE shirt that I love and adore, from the MUSE concert. I love them. :)
Now, moving right along;
Nothing really happened during the week after I last blogged on 18 October. Life was life, consisting of classes, studying, food, friends, the usual.
On Friday 22 October, I went to a USC v UCLA football (soccer) game, received a free scarf, and left the coliseum without even setting foot in the main area where the game was happening. Obviously, I just went to get the scarf. I don't have it with me right now, but next time I blog, I'll take a photo of it and show you. :)
Also on that day, Obama came and spoke at USC, as part of his nationwide rally. I wanted to go see him, but the line was more than two miles long, and I didn't feel like it was worth it... So I sat in my living room and opened the window to my balcony, and his voice came in. He gave a pretty decent speech, it was the one where he says that when you want a car to go forward, you put it in D (democrat), and when you want it to go backwards, you put it in R (republican). Ha. Very silly.
Anyway, this week on Monday was the birthday of one of my friends. Her name is Rachelle, and she's not really a close friend, but I met her a while ago and we're... acquaintances. Anyway, a group of about 25 people jumped up from behind a low wall while she was on her way home, and we all shouted, "SURPRISE! HAPPY BIIIIRTHDAAAY!!!" at the top of our lungs... It was very nice, she was very happy. Her close friend Elie made homemade carrot cake FROM SCRATCH, it was probably one of the most delicious cakes I'd ever tasted. I'm happy to do this kind of thing now, while we can, as opposed to fifty years from now when that sort of thing is probably a legitimate health hazard. Heh.
Oh and after surprising Rachelle, while we were standing around talking and eating cake, I met my first korean at USC! Haha. His name is Josh Woo and he's a broadcast journalism major, and he's korean! However, he's like me, where his face and body is korean, but inside he's completely white. Amazingly, he speaks much, MUCH less korean than I do, and can't even hold a very simple conversation. Furthermore, his korean accent is even more terrible than mine. It was mindblowing.
Now, I'm proud of myself for whatever level of proficiency I have at speaking korean.
On Tuesday, in one of my classes the professor started to show us an amazing documentary about the immigration debate that's raging rampant through the USA right now, and I was so intrigued that I watched the whole thing. It's a beautiful and extremely informative documentary, and I strongly recommend it to everybody. Here are links to the whole thing:

It made tears come to my eyes more than once. :)
Today, today being Friday 29 October, I taught my first class for PHE! It was at the Health Services Academy, and I think it went really really well. I love teaching! I'm definitely doing PHE for the rest of my years at university.
Tonight, I'm going to Unviersal Studios with my friends Cameron and Ivanna for the Halloween Horror Nights tonight... Apparently it's really scary, haha, I'm very nervous. Hopefully it's not too bad, and we'll still have fun, and I'll survive to tell you about it! Haha.
Election day (which is also Albert's birthday! Yaaaaay!) is in five days, and of course I'm going to vote, so I've been reading a booklet that the state government sent to all registered voters. It's extremely helpful and informative, and I'm glad I can make an educated contribution, however small, to this country and state. :)
Alright, I do believe that is all I have to say for now, so I'll blog again very soon! This weekend is going to be quite busy, with a USC v Oregon American football game tomorrow and HARD Haunted Mansion on Sunday! So I'll blog again soon...
Until then,
michelle.
