so during winter I usually hibernate. This year however was different. In January I tried to get out and go hiking with some friends. This made the winter a lot better than many to start with, but then what made this winter fantastic was meeting this fantastic person, youxi. For our first date we went out to dinner and then to see Coraline. A few weeks after that on valentines day we went snowboarding and then he surprised me and took me out to this awesome restaurant. Snowboarding was so much fun. Youxi was a great teacher and very patient with my falling all over the place. Then dinner was at this Indian restaurant where there were a few tables where you laid on your side to eat.
Youxi also took me on a tour of UCLA. It is a beautiful campus and a fantastic day!
My parents and sister came. They staid in Oceanside and i went down to visit on the weekends and a few days during the week. We went whale watching, ate at this really cool restaurant that look like an Italian villa, and went to this flower garden.
