Another year over, a new one has begun...

I know this is a few weeks late to qualify as a new year post but hey, I go by the Chinese New Year so technically I'm a few days early yet! ;)

Seriously, can you believe it is the year 2014?! It just sounds so futuristic to me... I didn't think it was possible but fall quarter second year went by even faster than it did first year. Looking back I realize I was a pretty big slacker on the blogging front so here's a quick photo recap of the last few months:

AnderCanadian Thanksgiving brunch with bottomless mimosas at Le Soleil Westwood

Sig-O Book Club girls at Emily's baby shower

Surfing lessons with the UCLA Marina Aquatic Center

Happy hour with the Joint Ventures Club in West LA

UCLA football game at the Rose Bowl stadium

Mike's AMR trip to Ecuador: http://uclaandersonamrecuador.tumblr.com/

Mike on the equator

New Year's Eve in Paris

Mike on the Greenwich Meridian in London (that's right, this is within two weeks of him being on the equator! I know it seems ridiculous but this is how we roll at Anderson.)

AMR team retreat to Lake Tahoe

Seriously, how gorgeous is California? Surf & ski in the same day? No problem.

Well, that pretty much brings us up to date and I still can't get over how quickly time has flown by. I honestly feel like A-Days was just yesterday but fast forward a year and a half and all of a sudden the concept of "Class of 2014" seems very real. Now that the daily conversation has shifted from "So what do you want to do with your life?" to "Have you signed your offer yet/when do you start with them?", I feel a sense of panic setting in: soon we will have to leave this peachy student life and return to the real world.

But I'm not ready to get into all that just yet. We still have 4.5 months until graduation day (what?! Only 4.5 months until graduation day?!) and we're going to make the most of it, starting by watching the sun set over the Pacific Ocean as much as possible! I really can't see myself getting sick of this any time soon:

Can you believe this is literally in our back yard? (Temperature is in Celsius for you confused Americans, sorry but it's so hard to learn Fahrenheit when it's the same beautiful weather every day... And no, we don't want to move back to Canada!)
