finally, my crazy and stupid week of school is over. let me just explain to you how stupid my life this week was: let's start from last saturday (10/21): 10/21 - ann picks me up from LA to go to the india arie concert in SD - sleep over my place in PQ 10/22 - ann drops me off at the SOLANA BEACH station and i take the amtrak to LA - get to LA around 12pm - work from 12:30-3:30ish. - drive back to SD - study (kinda) my night away... studied till 5am? 10/23 - woke up at 6:30am to go to school - go to my classes from 8am-4pm. midterm at 10am. (seriously, who goes to school from 8am to 4pm???) - got a favor call from Roy's La Jolla so i worked from 5-9pm. - studied till about 3am. 10/24 - studied ALL day long. 10/25 - woke up 6:30am to go take my midterm at 8am. - drove to SOLANA BEACH and took the amtrak to LA - arrive in LA around 12 - work from 12:30-8:30pm - have dinner with an old friend 10/26 - woke up at 5:30am - walked to the metro station to get to work - work from 6am-1:30pm (today was payroll) - take the amtrak at 2pm to SOLANA BEACH to LA - arrive in SOLANA BEACH at 4pm. - go home and study ALL night long. 10/27 - woke up and studied some more - took my midterm at 2pm - take the amtrak from SOLANA BEACH to LA - arrive in LA around 7pm - work from 7-11pm and now, it's saturday noon. i just woke up and took a shower and i'm sitting here on my patio of my apartment in LA that overlooks the city of LA, Hollywood, and Beverly Hills. although i live just blocks away from k-town and the area is a little on the ghetto side, to me, it is such a beautiful day outside. and it's days like today where i truly appreciate the time i have to actually relax and the time for myself. sadly, i have been up and about non-stop for the past 4 months and i am getting really tired. but as the wind blows through my hair and i stare at the "HOLLYWOOD" sign on top of the mountain, i think to myself: "i really really love my life". as a college student, i have the pleasure of exploring the world that is more than studying and partying and all that. i get to live in two completely different cities at once, i see and appreciate the things in life that we all take for granted everyday. taking the metro and the amtrak on a normal basis has broaden my horizon and see that my life is truly a luxury and all my wants and needs in life is all just a cherry on top to the great life that i already have. i love my job in LA. i love working for Roy's and everday i walk into work - i think how lucky i was when i first got the hostess position three years ago. then i think back and how it was probably all a part of God's plan for me to love and appreciate working for Roy's. if i never went to ucsd, if i never lived off campus, if i never had high goals to achieve.. life is so interesting and i love it. i have so much more to share, but i'm going to go and relax some more while i stare out into the city. life is good. i love my life. |
