Winter break made me realize what I missed from San Diego, the beach. My dear friend Ryan drove me from LA to UCSD along the coast and I promised myself that I will visit the beach the next morning.

The moon that day was especially huge. It helps to live on the west coast when you have the weird urge to capture a moon-set instead of a sunrise.

I went to La Jolla Shores early morning on the very first day of the quarter. Definitely the best way to start the quarter.

As I sat there, people jogged past me. Everyone just smiled and past except for Mrs. Granger. She had a look at the pic of the man in the water and asked if I was a professional. When I told her that I was just a UCSD freshman, she told me about her husband Sir Clive Granger, Nobel laureate for economics who taught at UCSD.
