One month to take-off
It's a new month, and a new blog. One month from now, at 11:00 am on January 1st, I will be flying to Los Angeles, to spend a semester, or rather two quarters, at UCLA.
The preparations so far? As can be concluded from the above, I have a ticket. I also have a visa, and I've already enrolled for two course: Elementary Particle Physics and Introduction to Visual Culture. What I do not yet have is housing: I'm on a wait list, and I'm supposed to hear sometime soon whether I'll have somewhere to sleep.
I'm not quite sure yet what exactly the purpose of this blog will be. First and foremost, I want to record my impressions and experiences, for myself, to be able to remember what I though when my hair's turned gray. Second, I've learned this summer tha blogs are a very good way to keep your family and friends updated on what you do, without having to write the same things in e-mails to several people. Thirdly, this will be a place to write, since I don't want to stop now that NanoNovember is over.
I'm curious what this will yield.
