Back in LA. Got in yesterday. Started classes today. Let the grind begin.

17 units spread over 5 classes. Maybe I'll drop a class? I don't know. Classes seem interesting so far. Intriguing.

Familiar faces all around in class. Lots of smiles. Conversations about the 3 week break, fantasy basketball, last quarter's final exam, Cal's football woes, Texas' football glee. Reassuring.

Books. Lots of them. Lots of money spent. Big long lines to get to the register. Exhausting.

Welcome back.
