I am super excited because I'm going to LA next week to go check out UCLA and see grandma maxwell and all the extended family down there. I called my Uncle Raymond up and said essentially, "hi. I'm your great-niece. Can I stay at your house?" He was very welcoming and said there were a number of pull out couches, so plenty of room for both me and my grandma. He's going to have a big dinner at his house on Friday night with my Dad's cousin Deena and the other cousins, so that will be fun. Anyway, the question is, what is a good gift for an extended family host who you have never met? Bread? Pie? Any suggestions?
I also am a bit nervous about checking out UCLA. It's so hard to grow up and decide what to do with one's life. It's the normal thing where I've let it go so long without dealing with it (talking to the admissions people I mean), that I'm afraid I've missed some deadline and people will think I'm flaky, so I end up being so. It's a terrible cycle.

Hey Amy! I always like to bring something from wherever I'm from or wherever I've been. Moon pies from N.C. or syrup from V.T. or whatever. So....even though you're in California, maybe make one of your family's favorite recipes? I would say that's from N.C.! Hope you're doing well!
