Hi there!
Today is December 12th, 2009.
It is a very rainy day in Montrose, California.
This video can tell you more!
The garden has been thriving despite some cold weather. At night, it has gotten down into the 30's and I have had to cover the plants with sheets occasionally.
The strawberries are starting to grow and all other plants are healthy too. Andrew and I are excited to see fruit growing on our Avocado and Key-Lime trees come next spring and summer.
Here are the Freesia bulbs and the Cilantro.
I have met some great people at UCLA. Here are some pictures of a few of the outings my division (SSCE: Social Science and Comparative Education) at UCLA has taken together. Many of them are Ph. D. students and other are Masters like me. A lot of them live on campus, which makes me wish I lived closer to campus sometimes. But, I really like this area that the apartment is in despite the distance from friends and school.
On another note....
I have started to go running occasionally at the Rose Bowl.
There is a golf course around the stadium with a bike and running track surrounding it. The only downside is that you need to watch out for golf balls as you run haha. It is a great 3 mile route with nice scenery. The Rose Bowl Parade (Or, as I have seen it more commonly referred to on TV: The Roses Parade) is happening soon. I won't be here for it, but hopefully I will see it one year that I am out here. I hear that families camp overnight to get a good spot to watch it.
They bring tents and grills and the works!
That's all for now. Farewell until my next post! Thank you for reading :)
Happy Holidays Everyone!
