The power of 2
I remember when I was younger and my older cousins would take me out. I was always excited and had a lot of fun primarily because I got to spend find out what the older people did without us. The other week I had some time with the younger people, so we went to eat at CPK and then headed for the beach. It was the hottest weekend so far this year, so it was nice to get some cool pacific beach winds.
Today, despite my massively stressful weekend, I decided to brush it off for a few hours to spend time with my cousin from San Diego. She will be the second to go to UCLA aside from me, among our generation. I was so excited to finally have someone to talk bruin about! lol. I met up with her at Rieber. I remember when she was just a little kid running around and causing trouble. Now she is the captain of their basketball team, Lacrosse, in track and who knows what sports team they have in their high school. I am very proud of her, not only because she chose UCLA, but she was able to remain active in sports, grounded, and kept up with her good grades.
Her dad, my uncle, is so funny and kinda cheap with the money even though they certainly don't need to be. I think they're looking for a prom dress somewhere in LA at them moment. Anyway it was fun. We didn't get much done. We walked alot and she was very full from all the eating (UCLA dining halls have the best food among any college anywhere), so we just checked out Ackerman for souvenirs even though my uncle was opposed.
There were so many people on campus today. A lot of campus tours and bruin life kids walking around. Anyway, it was fun to meet up with family at a familiar place. Maybe I'll have more time to meet up with her next semester (although I doubt it with my sched and hers). We'll see. I have two more years and she has 4 more to be accustomed to the environment and no longer feel overwhelmed. I know she'll do fine. She's a good kid. :)
