Bittersweet Endings, Where Has The Time Gone?

I’m really winding down here!

My Easter Collage!

Saturday I started packing, list making and prioritizing my week! I packed A LOT of my clothes into two suitcases and loaded them into my car! Doing that I had to think about how many days I have left in California :( I really hope that the weather in Chicago is nice when I come home because I’ve already started working on my tan for the summer!

Shannon and Rachel

Shannon’s good friend Rachel has been visiting us this week, so last night we decided to take her out dancing to a gay club called Rage! It was my first official outing as a legal 21 year old! We danced to a lot of Lady gaga, Britney Spears and Katy Perry!

Best timing shot!

Lasers!

Sunday was Easter!!! Shannon, Rachel and I attended a really nice Easter service then headed over to Blu Jam Café to meet Elliot for brunch. (Elliot went to a different church as he is not Catholic). Blu Jam Café was amazing!

Rachel had their Crunchy French Toast, which we all got to try! They were so sweet and delicious!

Mmmmm! Sunglasses, Coffee & Creme and one of Busia's old clutches that I loooove!

Also, as we were walking to the car after brunch I found an Easter egg on the grass! Yay!!!

Thank you!

After Brunch we headed back to the apartments to work on our final papers and homework. Blehhh! We’ll probably be sitting at our computers working for hours, but I will feel so much better once everything is done!

Tonight Shannon is cooking Fettucini Alfredo for dinner and I’m picking up some bread, a white wine and some ice cream for dessert (Shannon gave up sweets for lent, brave girl, so now she’s indulging again)!

(picture update)

I’ve got work and class this week and then I’m home free for a couple weeks. I still have my Thank You cards waiting for me tonight along with more packing and homework.

I hope everyone enjoyed their Easter Holiday, I know I am thankful that I talked to my family today and that I have such good friends out here in LA with me!

Surprises Can Come In Any Size Box

Well, well, well!

A lot has been going on this past week. Last weekend it was warm enough to go to the pool and lay out, so that is just what we did!

Monday was my 21^st birthday, and to prepare, Sunday I baked my delicious Pistachio cake!

My Favorite Cake!

Masterpiece!

Sunday I also did something very very daring, I got a haircut!!!!

I cut all of it off and donated my ponytail to Locks Of Love!

Bye bye hair!

Monday Shannon, Elliot and I went to dinner at the Gordon Ramsay at the London Hotel. It was so beautiful and a great place to have a lovely quiet dinner with good friends!

Shannon and Elliot singing to me!

Cake and Milk!

The semester is almost over, so I’ll be leaving LA soon. I have papers and packing to do within the next 10 or so days.

I want to thank everyone for all the birthday presents and let you know that Thank You's will be on the way as soon as my semester is over and I’m all packed up!

One of my presents!!!

Thank you to everyone for all the birthday wishes, it was a very special day!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

This week in La La land…

It was a pretty eventful week! Since I was off on Monday one of my friends invited me to see her friends band play at The Dragonfly. It was a really cool venue, so I hope to go back there soon.

:(

Firestone to the rescue!

So Friday I got a flat tire yikes! Luckily my dad came to the rescue and by Saturday I was off to Firestone to get a new tire put on. Friday I also received a package from my dad and stepmom with a couple of cool books! The list one is perfect because I’m addicted to making lists! I skimmed through it and it looks awesome! Thanks Sher!!!

Sunday rituals... blogging, Not working out, being lazy!

So Saturday while I was waiting for my new tire I walked across the street to a good will store and took a gander around. I found some pretty neat things and since I’ve actually been wanting to go thrifting lately it was really perfect!

Can't wait to wear them!!!!

I got some pretty rad long sleeve 80’s/90’s shirts that I can totally lounge or work out in! I LOOOVE the blue one, it’s really 80’s and the sleeves are ginormous! Then I found this cool huge grandpa sweater! I can’t wait to wear it!

Scott Mellis

Saturday night a colleague of mine invited me to Hotel Café to see her artist Scott Mellis play! So, I invited Shannon to come along with me and make a fun night out of it. Scott’s from Australia and just flew in on Thursday so it’s pretty impressive that he’s playing a show already.

Well It’s Sunday again! Oscar Sunday! So I have no plans but to lounge around all day and watch the red carpet! Can’t wait to see the dresses! Shannon’s cooking dinner today.

What’s on the menu?

A Pasta with bacon and chard! Hmmm sounds interesting!

I’ll post pictures later!

Enjoy your week!

The Den Of Hollywood

The week was pretty average, I’m still enjoying my internships and building relationships at both which is great! Friday I saw Singing In The Rain for the first time, in my film class. I loved it!

This weekend Elliot’s brother visited so we went out to The Den Of Hollywood, In West Hollywood Saturday night. I had heard about it and decided a few of us should go... Good thing we did, because It was great! They make their own buns, ground their own meat, and cut their own fries. It was yummy and fresh and a good price!

I got the pulled pork!

Sunday We relaxed a little, It was my week to cook Sunday dinner so I made Tortilla Soup! It was a lot of work, but it paid off in the end. It’s extremely healthy and full of things that your tummy will thank you for! Good thing, because Elliot has a cold this week.

YUM!

After dinner I cut up a watermelon and we watched The Grammy’s! They’re still on so I can’t make any comment.

I hope everyone in the Mid-west or East Coast are enjoying their warmer weather this week!
