Any Last Wishes???

Me trying to be artistic

It’s the end of the semester, and just when the weather’s getting nicer and you want to get out and enjoy the day, you’re bombarded with final papers and projects. Well at least I am.

This past weekend some friends from the Berklee Music Business Club came out to LA! So Shannon, Elliot and I spent our Saturday out and about with a couple friends!

Elliot found his family...but not really

"Oh, that's my boss!!" - Shannon

I hardly took any pictures as I was driving all day, but I’ll tell you that we walked down Hollywood Blvd, ate lunch on Sunset, drove up Griffith park and had a wonderful view of Los Angeles, then strolled around Beverly Hills for a while until settling down for a nice Italian and carb loaded dinner.

My favorite wine from the wine tour

I received a massive amount of wine bottles in the mail from my mom for my upcoming birthday and bought myself a new nail polish along with a few other things…thanks mom!

Soon enough I’ll be re-packing my boxes and heading home for a couple weeks before more craziness ensues!

Hope everyone’s enjoying the warmer weather! Summer’s almost here!

A Toast To Long Weekends

Lots to blog about this weekend. For starters, I went out to brunch with a friend/colleague! We went to this place called Sweet Butter in the San Fernando Valley! It was such a cute place! I wish I could have taken a million pictures of this place/ I want to steal all their decorating ideas!

I wish I would have taken a picture of my meal, I got a nutella sandwich and it was DELICIOUS!

Afterward we went back to their house and listened to some music!

I really want that poster of Charlie Chaplin on the far right!

This weekend I also decided to walk down Hollywood Blvd. by the Chinese theater and see all the souvenirs and some of the "Hollywood Stars Walk Of Fame" very cool!

Hollywoodland... (What The Hollywood Sign originally read)

Bette Midler... I have a huge place in my heart for her! God I love her :)

MERYL! Honestly, who doesn't love Meryl?

It was very crowded. I wasn't there very long because I know my roommate wants to go too and this weekend she's away in San Diego.

Darth Vader, honestly, not as cute as the kid in the car commercial

"Do you believe in life after loooove"

Love me some Travolta!

Last on the list was a spontaneous trip to In N Out Burger for some noms!
Finally I took a moment before devouring it to take some pictures!

yum!

What's this? A Double-Double... where's the bun? It's Protein style, No bun, wrapped in Lettuce! a slightly healthier option, but really it's delicious wrapped in lettuce!

More to come!

January, Get A Tan

Well, I’m pretty much settled now, took a few extreme shopping trips but I’m finally settled in comfortably. The apartment is nice, we have a real table to sit and eat at, which we didn’t have in Boston. Shannon and I are rooming together in LA, we’ve been living together for almost 2 years so I’m really grateful we’re still together out here in LA. It makes everything more comfortable because we already know how to live with each other. We’re sharing a room, which we’ve never done before, but I don’t think that’ll be a problem because our closet is outside the bedroom so we don’t have to disturb each other when we wake up, WIN!

Sunday morning as I was getting into my car at the top of the parking garage I noticed a little something!!!!

HOLLYWOOD SIGN!! Still makes me giddy like a little kid at the zoo.

Hollywooooooood

Monday I had two interviews for possible internships. They both seem like really great places and I would love to intern for both so lets all cross our fingers! Since my interviews were far apart in time I got to drive around and explore a bit. I drove right through Beverly Hills! And just to set the record straight (thus far) the driving is NOT that bad. I haven’t run in to crazy traffic yet, and most of the drivers are nice and let you in. (Potholes galore, not so sweet.) Maybe I have to drive during the morning or evening rush hours to really experience the traffic. All I know is that I was terrified that it would take me FOREVER to get somewhere and it hasn’t. Fear overcome!

The houses out here!

Every night I’ve been like a grandma and I’ve been going to sleep around 10pm, but in my defense, I wake up at 7am everyday. No real reason, just to jump-start the day instead of burning daylight.

Tonight I got Shannon, Elliot and myself tickets to see a taping of Lopez Tonight! YAY!!! I looooove George Lopez! When I used to work as an usher at the Rosemont Theater and Allstate I worked one of his comedy shows, he’s so great! I’ll be blogging all about that tomorrow!

Cool car I saw at Ralphs, our grocery store

Orientation’s tomorrow, Everyone (which is 8 of us) involved in the Berklee Internship program are meeting with our mentor for dinner. I can’t wait to sit down with everyone and start talking.

More exciting things on Thursday and this weekend, forecast for the weekend, high 70’s!

Skipping Chicago and Boston winter never felt so good!!

I Have No More Legs, Good Thing This Was The Last

I have successfully arrived in LA! Dad and I took off at 6am again MST and drove through Arizona which eventually became California. I was too excited to take my early morning nap in the car. I couldn’t even eat, I just wanted to get there.

I tried my best

Today was much more of a chill day. Instead of taking 500 pictures of rocks and the side of the road I just enjoyed the view for the most part and listened to my Ipod. The coolest part of today was that at an elevation of 4,000ft we drove right through a cloud!

I also spotted my first cactus and palm tree which was equally as exciting the closer we got to the city.

My skyline

YAY YAY YAY!

We got to my apartment around noon PST unloaded, said hi to my roommate and friend then took my dad to the airport where a very nice policeman let me take a picture of the big LAX sign!

After we dropped off my dad we headed to Target and the grocery store for some odds and ends. By the time we got back to the apartment it was almost 5pm and we were soooo exhausted that I ate leftovers from last night and my friend Elliot and roommate Shannon made a frozen pizza. Then we cuddled up on the couch and watched the movie Easy A, had a glass of wine and now, at 9pm are calling it a night.

:)

I will definitely blog more about the trip and show pictures of my place, but that all awaits for tomorrow! Which, speaking of tomorrow, I do have an agenda, however, I am falling asleep at my computer. I just wanted to let everyone know I am alive and safe!

PS, I finally saw the Hollywood sign after we went shopping, and freaked out!!! I was very excited... but my view was a lot better than my picture. I will make sure to take a better picture of it soon. I will most likely hike there sometime soon!

just a blur

Can’t wait to get more than 5 hours of sleep!
