Can I just say Oy!?
My lord man.. I just spent the weekend traveling..and I am exhausted to the bone! Friday night right after class my dad came by to pick up my room mate and I to head down to LA.. Ofc my roommate was late.. as persay usual.. typical.. She was at a friends place hangin.. while I actually got out of class pretty early.. which was nice.. we got out around 930.. I was like yay.. but my dad and I had to wait for my roommate to travel back to the dorm from her friends place.. so soon as she got her stuff ready we were on the go (which was like about 1130 by then)..
We arrived to LA around 5am.. ofc.. not to mention we ended up in pasadena instead of LA wrong part of town that we wanted to look for, for the restaurant that we are doing our externship at. so we had to turn all the way around and go back to LA.. ofc by then we were sleepy.. my dad and I mostly.. my room mate was passed out cold the whole way there ofc.. (she was drinkin.. mind you..not safe for us if she drove.. ofc.. dont tell my dad that!).. so at that time.. we had time to kill in order for us to meet our Chef (5pm.. whoo) so we managed to find a hotel.. and get some sleep before we headed to the restaurant to meet our Chef and check out what the restuarant was about and what we would be doing for our externship and things like that .. ofc most of us we passed out on the beds and slept.. (not to mention there wasnt anything on tv either..) Soon as 4 pm rolled around.. we freshened up and got dressed and headed to the restaurant.. oh yeah before I forget.. we also checked out some housing down there as some possiblity.. we'll see what happend to that .. (ofc we it was early in the morning when we did that.. )
We met the chef.. (she was so super nice!) and we sat down and ate dinner there.. it was sooooo good.. oh my gosh.. it made me greatful that the fact that I actually stumbled upon their website, (its ciudad-la.com) when I was looking for some scholarship info for work related purposes and since then havent looked back to do my externship anywhere else.. Now heres a little tidbit about me.. my father had never really tried certian foods.. such as cervices, duck, yucca, goat cheese, plantain.. and all kinds of good stuff and ever since he has been hangin around me he has been trying pretty much everything now.. which is good.. because he's starting to broaden his taste buds..
And my room mate and I got the chance to see the kitchen before we left which was cool.. our chef was the only female in the kitchen.. I'm pretty sure theres more they are just in the back that we didnt see them .. and then theres the waiting staff.. they were soo nice.. which was fantastic.. I'm soo super stoked to be doing my externship there.. I cant wait! and heres the best part.. we dont have to start on the 21 like we should be of this month.. we get the whole week off before we start.. bex apparently our chef is flying out that week and she wants to be there to teach us everything that goes on in the kitchen.. so.. thats really kew too.. yay.. Im happy.. after dinner followed by some decadent dessert.. I was soo full by the end of the night.. and at the same time disappointed that we had to leave.. paid and left and was on the road by 730.. ofc being in LA theres traffic.. so.. ofc we headed back.. to SF by 130am.. ohh yeah not to forget my torturous event that my dad and roommate had done to me.. they did a ABBA duet with the cd.. ohh goody theres so much to tell my therapist when ever I decide to see one one day..oh wait.. maybe I wont need to see one one day.. *chuckles* Okay yeah.. not gonna go there..
Wow.. that was an insane weekend.. but it was soo much fun.. I really enjoyed it.. not to mention that there were several cute guys down in LA.. that I was like.. hmm.. I wonder if I get your name and number honey.. *laughs* a few years back.. I dont think I would have done that.. but now.. oh I would so totally do that.. *laughs*
That morning when my roommate and I headed back up to our dorm room.. we just took off our shoes and climbed into bed and slept until the afternoon.. well until 1130 (Ofc then there was a protest that happend to be down on the street of where we live protesting against KFC.. something of other on boycotting it.. I guess.. like I really care.. bex I dont eat at KFC.. I did once.. and that was more than enuf for me.. ).. then got up took a shower (ofc getting up was painful.. my lord.. had I known that my ass would be in pain I wouldnt have driven or slept in a seated position ohh yeah thats gonna go down in my memory bank..*laughs*), did laundry.. cleaned up and little by little started packing our stuff.. wow.. its only gonna be two more weeks left into skool until we leave.. I'm kinda sad and am kinda not..ohh my goodness i just realized something.. I happend to look at the calender and I see theres only one weekend left for me to be here.. in SF.. I think I'm gonna take that chance to party harty before I leave.. I think.. yeah.. that sounds like something to do.. *nods* yeah..until then.. I'll get the chance to write up another update before I leave for LA.. who knows where I'll be after those three months are up.. but dont worry if I happend to disappear for a while.. and then show up again for only several months.. at least you would all know that Im still kickin it.. so until then.. I'm gonna sign off..
