 UCLA’s Beat ‘SC Bonfire Rally |
I’ve always loved UCLA, but going to the bonfire yesterday to celebrate the rivalry between USC & UCLA, watching all the sports highlights, & seeing the massive crowd of Bruins definitely boosted my school spirit. I feel incredibly lucky & privileged to attend such an amazing school with such memorable traditions!
Even more so, I decided to bring my camera to school to photograph the foliage around North Campus. It’s pretty much the only indicator of any sort of change of season. Juliana & I were talking about how we’ve been having a pretty disappointing & sad week, but just walking around & seeing where we are & how beautiful the foliage is just makes us feel better.

 In the fields of Utah |
I woke up this morning thinking that this week would be a good week, but I’m having a bad morning & it’s not even 12 PM yet. I need some sort of motivation or inspiration because I feel so discouraged right now. It’s as if I’m taking the longest road to finally become independent of my parents & start my own career, but who’s to say that I’ll even get into Medical school? Me thinks an impromptu trip to New York to visit Columbia–my dream school–needs to happen to get my priorities straight.
The day is still young, perhaps I’ll get to see Bill Nye the Science Guy at school today boosting my morale. At least I still have food in my fridge, a roof over my head, & clothes on my back, right? It’s just one day out of the thousands of days I’ll live to see, so I just have to suck it up & chin up.

 Eggs & Toast |
To order delivery or to save money & make breakfast? That is my pathetic dilemma for this lazy Sunday morning, so I opted for eggs sunny-side-up–I realize one didn’t retain its circular shape, trust me, I was not pleased–with toast topped with butter, eggplant garlic spread (Trader Joe’s), wild arugula, & gouda cheese. On another note, can I just say that I’m really excited that it’s raining? Even though this weather generally makes people feel lazy, I’ve been pretty productive & it’s only 2 PM. Maybe it was my breakfast?
This year I’ve become incredibly disconnected with my domains, barely updating them while they sit around wasting money. I’m not able to pinpoint the exact reason why I’ve been so distant from the whole thing, but I think I’m slowly getting back into it. Seriously, maybe it was my breakfast, it was pretty good. Trader Joe’s knows how to make some delicious eggplant garlic spread. I’m pretty energized…so tempted to put my rain boots on & splash around like a duck. But what would my hot neighbors think? First world problems.

 Caroline frolicking in a field in Utah |
Fall quarter is almost over & I’m only now updating with new albums since September. Finals are just around the corner so I can’t exactly frolic on the weekends like I have been for the past 8 weeks. I’m encountering some major Senioritis & I need help fighting it! I blame Reddit for all of my procrastination problems.
Since I haven’t updated in a few months, I figured I’d just post a series of pictures I just took of the sushi I made. It’s not very aesthetically pleasing, but I’ll get the hang of it eventually.
 A sushi cookbook I just purchased |
Normally I’d use my lightbox script for organization, but a lot of people seem to skim the part when I tell them to click the picture to see more. So, now you get to see all the pictures laid out without extra clicking, just more scrolling.
 Instructions on making sushi rice |
I’ve made sushi countless times, but I was curious to see what the book’s instructions were on how to make sushi rice. Not surprisingly, it was similar to the way I make sushi rice.
 Cucumber & Sesame Rolls |
Since I don’t have any fish, I figured I’d check out their cucumber recipe. I added a bit of avocado in the roll to give it a creamy texture.
 Cucumber & Avocado Roll |
I added a bit of rice seasoning into my rice to give it a bit of flavor. I adorned the dish with hot sesame oil, unagi (eel) sauce, wasabi, & sriracha.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone (just in case I don’t update by then)!
