Oops...I forgot to make an entry about my short trip to the Grand Canyon. I will do that as soon as possible.

On the other hand, went kayaking Thursday morning which was great fun; however, I managed to drop and watch my phone sink to the bottom of the harbor. After brunch in Santa Monica, picked up my cousin Allison from school to have at quick lunch at Cafe Bolivar. Had a quick conversation before she had to go back to school. Went swimming at sunset rec, then went to the joint KCCCM meeting. For late night fellowship, Dnoh and I shared 3 dishes at Noodle Planet.

Friday was an awesome day because I went on a school field trip! For the first time since probably elementary school, I went on a field trip with my professor and urban planning class to the port of Los Angeles. The scale of activity was mind-boggling...cargo ships with countless containers and cranes that I would be very hesitant to even attempt to operate. On our boat tour we had a glimpse of a federal prison located at the port, and my highlight: a navy battleship and a princess cruise line ship side by side. Hilarious! It was a perfect representation of polarized Los Angeles. A person on a vacation with the cruise line and a military officer with commitments to national security...on the same water surface but in totally different situations. After the fun field trip, went home to play basketball with Albert and then ate dinner with JK, Cho, and Shalom at Honey Kettle.

Alright I need to get back to my midterm paper, so farewell for now.
