the trip
Well I wrote this entry a few days ago, but being back at school ive been CRAZY busy… so here it is :D leave me a comment!...
Well I am sure by now you have all noticed ive been gone for a while: so I will try to update you a bit on the doings of my life:
The usual things happened: we had Christmas, I worked a ton and I made me some good money… But lets skip down to my trip:
So I left on the 29th of December with bonnie and denise, and we got onto the airport express. We got to the airport at about 3:00 with a 5:00 flight… So we are two hours early, but its not too big of a deal because we still have to get our tickets and go through security and get food… and then we realize our flight is delayed…almost an hour. And I had planned for a shuttle t meet us there… so I had to change the times on it TWICE. ANYWAYS, we finally fly into LAX where we learn it would have been smarter to fly into Burbank….but whatever.. and head off to Glendale where the YMCA that we are staying at is. So we finally arrive.. and bonnie and denise and myself wait for the rest of the group to find us… we meet up that night, and are each given assignments to do, i.e. I helped people unload and park cars.. (directing…no actual driving ) which was fun :D except for the part that I was SOAKED. That night we all go to sleep pretty good, and even play a round of cranium. Bonnie Denise and myself end up making a spot in the women’s locker room (there is carpeting there).
Anyways over the next few days we work on the floats…doing all the details….like putting carnation petals all around this apple thing….one by one… THOUSANDS of them…So we do al our work… meet a few new people.. and it was jut a fun weekend of us making fun of eachother…
We celebrated the new years in the mens locker room of the YMCA. Lol don’t ask :D it was a fun night,, we played silent football… and I LOST one round.. and had to pay the price… a little cross dressing for me, Kelly, phil, penis (peter) and mike.. my oh my. Lol but good times :D and then we played karaoke revolution and DDR. So it was all in good fun. Next day those of us who woke up early went and saw the parade :D
After the hustle and bustle, a group went to out lunch… and then eventually Kelly mike david and myself headed south. We dropped david off in some town, and continued to kelly’s place in SD. It was a fun few days there.. just totally chill and relaxed. I did have a moment though when I found out that my grandpa in korea was in a coma. Honestly, I still don’t know much about his condition…. And though it worries me, I cant say that I haven’t seen this coming for a while…. *sigh* lets get off that topic.. and back to the trip… I am not in a mood to mope. Anyways I got to hang out with Kelly and Mike and it was a great time :D had a ton of fun….
So I leave SD by taking an Amtrak and meet this REALLY cool girl named Cristian. We get along, and basically just talk the whole trip. It was like two hours, but we had a really good time :D Anyways, more onto the trip…
I arrive in Irvine, and liz tells me to meet her at the la quinta inn on sand canyon.. so I do… and then we realize that our reservations are at the la quinta inn NOT in Irvine, but in costa mesa. Because we are cool like that. =-o So we stay at our cheap hotel, order food and just kind of hung out that night…. We are funny people and we roll… hehe. Anyways.. the next day we take another cab over to the school (mind you we spent over 70 dollars in CABS) and get into her room… we then take a bus to fashion islands and just go shopping :D So the next few days I meet all her suite mates (tammy, Victoria, Jessie, Jessica, Karen, maria, shanehi, mylissa, nichelle, janna, Janie and….er…. OMG I forgot one! Bah!) plus other people like andy her RA, chris (guy that’s allergic to his own liver), oliver who looks like hes from the cartoon dragon ballz, pat the guy whos Korean and is always with liz and Janice, I met mike and mark the two white guys, mike has a secret admirer in the hall, I met the other mark also known as pojo? Hes really nice. Then there was another white guy chris who won in poker, Austin a tall skinny asian guy, a guy named Kevin who looks like kettenburg (OMG I KNOW!) and alaina who lives on the second floor but more like lives in the suite. Alaina is my counter personality…only more punk :D I also cant forget linh who lives on floor two, and josh who sings with me on the phone. There are a TON more people, but I JUST cant list them off the top of my head. WHOOOSH.
So things we did:
- go shopping at Fashion Islands
- go grocery shopping at Albertsons
- Eat at the CheeseCake Factory in honory of liz’s birthday
- walk through the rain to visit lerina
- meet a TON of really great people :D
- watched jon fall over from spinning
- just have a great time :D
I must say… staying there for the week made me re-consider Irvine as a school for me. I had previously dismissed it…but god damn I like the way it is made. Its small..but there is enough off campus stuff to do… the people are great…and it helps that my best friend goes there. AGH back to the times…
So we had a pretty good time there.. the last night I was there I went to a party with liz… totally thought I wouldn’t know ANYONE…but OMG I knew like 1/3 the ppl there. It was TRIPPY. I was SO confused! So I just had a good time there with liz :D and took lots of pictures. I will miss everyone I met GREATLY, but don’t worry :D I’ll be back!
Oh and big life decision:
I am FOR SURE applying to UCLA ! AH so scared!
