For my mandated walk today, I decided to walk to UCLA. My dad came along with me in case I collapse or the abdominal pain flares up while I’m walking. None of that happened. We were out for about 50 minutes.
We first walked to UCLA Medical Plaza 200. This is where my clinics will be, starting tomorrow at 6:00 am. It was only about a 10 minute walk, much much closer than my 90 minute drive from home in Orange County. My dad still wants to drop me off; it probably will take 10 minutes to get to the car in the underground parking, and to drive the three blocks to the Medical Plaza. Oh well.
Since it was Sunday afternoon, the campus was deserted. Except for administration and the medical center, it appears the campus is closed. Not sure why so there are still so many students living here in Westwood. Maybe they’re hoping school will open soon?
We then walked to the middle of campus and turned around near Engineering IV. That was my “home” 35 years ago, except that building was not there. Engineering school was in Boelter Hall which is a bit to the back and up a large hill. I’ve been back a few times but mostly at night to attend an event. I haven’t walked around campus since I graduated in 1990. Maybe I’ll spend the next two weeks walking it more.
