Diary24 Day 24: Meeting left wounds #Nari_in_LA #Day24 #240225 Sunny Sunday! After having a satisfying lunch at home, I went to the Starbucks on the USC campus to prepare for a Zoom meeting with my PI scheduled for later that night. Although there wasn’t much to prepare since I had a meeting here already, I made sure to do my best. I had a wrap from Starbucks for dinner simply and focused on preparing the PPT. Later, I had the Zoo.. 2024. 3. 13. Day 23: The Broad Museum and DTLA #Nari_in_LA #Day23 #240224 In the morning, I assembled a shoe rack and accidentally cut a little part of the sports bra I had recently bought for my running from Amazon :( After quickly cleaning up, I cooked my lunch. The eggplant was gigantic; I had never seen an eggplant like this before! Today's lunch was beef cube steak with salad, so yummy. To go to the Broad Museum, I waited for a metro, b.. 2024. 3. 12. Day 22: The Grove #Nari_in_LA #Day22 #240223 I had an appointment with my friend G, but I canceled due to my poor condition. After dedicating time to prepare for a meeting with a professor, I went to school. On my way to the lab, I also received my Upass card. The welfare at USC is very good. We can use LA transportation for free with this Upass card and even Lyft for free after 6 pm. In the evening after work, I.. 2024. 3. 12. Day 21: Walking over 10,000 steps #Nari_in_LA #Day21 #240222 I enjoyed walking to school since the day was delightfully sunny. Before going directly to the lab, I wandered a bit to register for Upass and withdraw cash from the ATM. There might not be an ATM where I can withdraw cash without paying fees. After spending some time on experiments, I attended a seminar by our professor intended for undergraduate students in the chemi.. 2024. 3. 12. Day 20: Burrito place #Nari_in_LA #Day20 #240221 The sky cleared after a morning of meditation, stretches, and breakfast. Today, I chose the route to school that I had never explored before. Along the way, I was captivated by a tree with pink blossoms, a gentle reminder that spring is on its way. Additionally, the LA swimming stadium building stood out as the magnificent and authentic structure! I couldn’t resist tak.. 2024. 3. 11. Day 19: Trader Joe's #Nari_in_LA #Day19 #240220 The day started with morning affirmations and stretches. I made an open sandwich with avocado, bell pepper, eggs, and green beans. It was another rainy day again. At our lab office, Trader Joe’s cocoa truffles always catch my eye, and I can’t resist indulging in them. Feeling a little hungry, I also snacked on corn chips with my labmate. After work, I headed to Trader .. 2024. 3. 11. Day 18: Holiday Monday #Nari_in_LA #Day18 #240219 I should have been prepared for this holiday. I didn’t know today was a holiday. But with heavy rain, I might not have ventured far even if I had known today was a holiday. After having rice with seaweed soup for lunch, I packed my Macbook and iPad and went to Starbucks. It was my first time at a US Starbucks. It was convenient and cozy but the restroom was too dirty t.. 2024. 3. 11. Day 17: Homebound day #Nari_in_LA #Day17 #240218 After getting enough sleep, I started Sunday by studying English. Since I ate too much at dinner yesterday, I decided to skip the lunch to feel better. While checking my trip and payment schedule on Airbnb, I took the opportunity to organize my money ledger. I’m planning to move to a safer place soon. 😟 Groceries from Weee arrived in the evening. Weee is the app where .. 2024. 3. 11. Day 16: Koreatown BBQ #Nari_in_LA #Day16 #240217 Happy Saturday! I enjoyed a fulfilling lunch with a homemade sandwich while reading a book. Afterwards, I followed an exercise routine from YouTube videos. Sporting my USC hoodie, I headed to a dinner appointment with my labmates. On my way, it appeared there was a festival celebrating Lunar New Year at Exposition Park. Upon meeting my friends, we took a metro. It was .. 2024. 3. 10. Day 15: Little Tokyo #Nari_in_LA #Day15 #240216 The exorbitant prices of meals prompted me to opt for an early lunch at home. I whipped up rice with mushrooms, eggs, bell peppers, and green beans. Following lab work, I perused the poster presentations on physical chemistry's open house. Originally slated for a trip to Venice Beach, my housemate and I had a change of mind and opted for Little Tokyo instead. Before se.. 2024. 3. 10. Day 14: Korean food and acai bowl #Nari_in_LA #Day14 #240215 Good morning. Today, to boost my energy, I incorporated some simple stretching exercises into my routine. On my way to school, I encountered an array of blooming flowers that made me happy. Battling a slight slump in my physical condition since yesterday, I eagerly anticipated having warm Korean food for lunch. Accompanied by my labmate, we ventured to the Korean resta.. 2024. 3. 5. Day 13: Bad condition #Nari_in_LA #Day13 #240214 On my way to school, I took a selfie with a background of Rose Park since the weather was perfect for enjoying nature. The park was gigantic and appealing. It's good to have this beautiful park right around the campus. I've been venturing to restaurants near the campus. Today, I had lunch at CAVA in USC Village. It was the best meal ever since I came to LA so I could f.. 2024. 3. 5. Day 12: Just do it. Why not? #Nari_in_LA #Day12 #240213 Feeling frustrated due to my poor English skills, I had a slight breakdown last night. However, this morning, I listened to the Korea Herald Podcast on my way to school. I admire myself for persistently trying various methods without succumbing to thoughts like, ‘This is my limitation; let’s give up.’ From now on, I’ve decided to study English with Podcast every day du.. 2024. 3. 3. Day 11: Free Lyft for USC students Day 11 in LA, I resumed my morning routines. After self-affirmation and meditation, followed by journaling, I enjoyed a breakfast I prepared myself. The sunny weather on my way to school lifted my mood. Depending on the weather, the way how I feel is totally different. Isn’t it fascinating that weather can affect one’s disposition? I guess I’m very sensitive to it🙂 Upon arriving at the lab, I sp.. 2024. 2. 21. Day 10: Santa Monica Beach & Pier Happy sunny Sunday! I enjoyed a homemade lunch before assembling a cabinet for my clothes, which I purchased from Temu. It's remarkably good for its price. After getting ready to go outside, I met my housemate. We firstly ventured to a frozen yogurt store, marking my first experience with this delightful treat. Ordering proved challenging as they accepted only cash, and the plethora of choices m.. 2024. 2. 20. 이전 1 2 다음
