My fourth week of school has been great so far! This past week I got to see Elton John at USC for free – you heard it, for FREE! USC has a program called Visions and Voices, and through it you can go to awesome free events. Last semester I went to a Kina Grannis event, and this semester my friend went to see a Kristin Chenoweth concert at the Hollywood Bowl! They also plan for great poets or writers to come present about their work. It’s a great program and I love taking advantage of it!
This program was so popular that we had to enter into a lottery in order to get seats. I was so lucky to have gotten a ticket, and a few of my close friends were also fortunate, so we all waited in line together.
I happened to be 7 rows from the front; we got such great seats!! Elton John performed many of his old songs, followed by a Q&A and then another performance for some of his new stuff from his album. It was an amazing show, and I am so fortunate to have had this experience!
Elton John concert, 7 rows from the front. Admission: $0.00. Thanks #USC. #ViterbiLife #bestschool… http://t.co/Wd0zSKp1VM

I also went to The Grove with the Catholic Center last week, and we all ate at Maggiano’s! We had such great food, and the company was great!
