I [heart] USC

Hello there from the USC campus! Yep. I took today off to attend the inauguration festivities of USC's newest President C. L. Max Nikias. He is the 11th President of USC. 11th! That's AMAZING that in the University's history there have only been 10 other Presidents.

I love it here. It's like coming home, even though there are a few more buildings and DPS is on segways and what seems to be more bicycles on campus then what I remember. Right now Xtine and I are sitting outside of the Ronald Tutor Student Center. We both have our Acers out and are pretending to be the Grad Students that we should be. :D

Here are some of the current highlights of the day:
  • We were able to find parking not too far from Troy, the apt building we lived in 3rd year. It took a few circles around the area and a quick tour of The Row, but we found one! I for one cannot parallel park, so I was glad that Xtine was driving.
  • Even though its been years, we blended in like students as we walked to campus...even if we weren't sporting high heels or knee high boots and dresses.
  • The ceremony was interesting. It was a long procession, but it was interesting to see the alums and the various schools and students come together in one place.
  • Since we we've been sitting here in International Plaza, right outside of Sample Hall, there have been about 6 columns carried out of the Campus Center. I have no idea what for, but its funny to see column after column being carried out from downstairs.
  • People watching is so much fun....is it me, or are college guys more cute now then when I was here?
Okay off to explore the rest of campus!
