it was the best of times, it was the...

i haven't blogged in a month.

basically, the past 4 weeks has been possibly the hardest time of my life since february 10 years ago -- the time with 3 funerals. i won't go into details because nobody wants a sob story and there's no sense in whining. i'll just mention 1 of the elements that has occurred: i'm not graduating this quarter. let's just say i did a lot of work -- more than the average student -- but my adviser didn't like my writing style, so i have to rewrite my 40 page report. this hopefully won't affect my starting date at MIT.

on the upside, i've started my 1.5 months of "vacation!":

1. resign from being a UCLA student
2. visit seattle (BP and brian)
3. visit berkeley/san francisco (kazi)
4. leave LA
5. househunt in boston for a week
6. fly to indonesia for 16 days!!

i took tons of pics, some follow for each respective section:
1. ucla:



2. seattle




3. berkeley / san francisco




also, i'm getting into panoramic pictures. i took some of the golden gate bridge, and i'm going to do some of LA before i leave here.

please do the poll on the right.
