Hello my dear, darling lovelies!
I’m so hyped for spring retreat and this quarter in general. I have LS107 with Anastasia and Sofia, American Musicals with Aanya, Kamea, and Kiana, and physics with Juliette. It’s so epic. I love it.
Alaina and I walked to Jay and Gloria’s house from Modern Family and it looks exactly the same as in the show. Very exciting to see since I’ve been watching like 4 episodes a day.
Sad that Akerman took away my butternut squash & cranberry salad, but I'll try and stay strong I suppose. Reach out if you have the groupx pass!!!
Belle love,
Natalia 🩷

DEI
Hi Belles! I hope you all had an amazing week 1. I honestly had a really slow week 1 but it was super fun. Two of my friends turned 21 this week so I got to celebrate them which was super fun! My dad also visited me this weekend so we spent out time watching the UCLA women’s basketball team WIN IT ALL WOOOOOO. I honestly don’t have any other updates, it has been a very chill first week and I am excited for week 2.
First workshop is this Thursday from 12-1 on zoom. I will have the schedule for the quarter posted by the end of this week.
