    Saying Goodbye!: Tales of a Mancunian Lost in the City of Angels

    September 5, 2024 /

    By David Sustana, University of Southern California, United States Howdy again, and for the last time, for now! If you’ve been keeping up with these blog posts throughout the past academic year, then you probably already know that the adventures that I’ve been sharing had been stretching further and further past the City of Angels, but for this last blog post, I’d like to reel things back to the place they started: South Central Los Angeles, home to the University of Southern California!

    September 3, 2024 /

    By David Sustana, University of Southern California, United States Hello hello hello again, from what may just be the sunniest place on the planet! But not nearly the hottest: I’d have to give that title to Fabulous Las Vegas, where I had an absolutely surreal weekend that I thought I should share. (And, on a side note, I am aware that my adventures are beginning to exceed the scope of these blog titles.)

    Fight on, Trojans!: Tales of a Mancunian Lost in the City of Angels

    May 10, 2024 /

    By David Sustana, University of Southern California, United States Hey from Southern California! Just wanted to update everyone on a really fun weekend that I had at USC. Today was the day of the big, annual rivalry (American!) football game between arch-rivals USC (go Trojans!) and UCLA (boo Bruins!). And let me tell you, the energy on and around campus was electric. I’d say it rivals (or, dare I say, surpasses) that of a Man City versus Man United game. But there are some pretty big differences between an English football game and an American college football game.

Although, I guess I should really say Northern California, as I’ve just gotten back from a wonderful road trip with some friends from Golden Gate City (a.k.a San Francisco!).

    A New Chapter: Tales of a Mancunian Lost in the City of Angels

    January 11, 2024 /

    By David Sustana, University of Southern California, United States Things have been crazy since I last wrote. First of all, if you’ve been keeping up with the blog, then you’d probably know that I was scheduled to go on a trip with the SC Outfitters society to California’s famous Salton Sea. Unfortunately, I don’t have any updates or pictures to share of that because it was cancelled at the last minute. However, it is being rescheduled for a future date, so stay tuned and hopefully I will have more to share about that coming up! But besides that, things have been busy. I got to celebrate a very American Thanksgiving…

    California Dreamin’: Tales of a Mancunian Lost in the City of Angels

    November 11, 2023 /

    By David Sustana, University of Southern California, United States Arrival and First Impressions Wow, what a whirlwind it’s been! As I’m writing this, I feel like I have finally and truly ‘landed’ in Los Angeles and found my niche. Everything has just been incredible here. The food. The weather. The atmosphere in LA and on campus. And that last part particularly has been consistent throughout my entire time here so far. From the moment I stepped onto campus, everyone has been welcoming and has helped to make this experience what it has been for me so far. Although I should note that I actually started my California Dreamin’ journey in…
