So luckily I didn’t have to kick myself in the face because I haven’t heard back about the job in Palo Alto (despite me checking my e-mail every 5 minutes on the drive down to L.A.). But I still wish I were up north.
Anyway, here’s the last two days in a nutshell:
Got to LA and went to dinner with Dani and Josh at Kay and Dave’s in Culver City. The food’s alright – nothing too wonderful. But the drinks are nice and strong. I ordered a skinny Margarita and a vodka-Diet Coke (notice the “skinniness” of my orders. I like to think that I’m making good choices, even though I know my drink still has mucho calories). Needless to say, I was a little bit tipsy for the UniCamp meeting. Oh well! It was really interesting being back in that kind of environment…all of the volunteers are so young. But I’m not going to let it get to me. There’s only a few more training meetings and it’s really about the week with the kids anyway. I met my new COs – I like them a LOT. It’ll be a fun week, I’m sure of it =) But after the meeting, we went over to DDubs place to bond over a bottle of wine (ended up being 3 bottles and a bottle of champagne). I swear I’m not an alcoholic.
Stayed over at Josh’s and then drove back to Orange County in the morning. I was supposed to go to a Boot Camp training session at 9:45AM, but the traffic sucked and I knew I wasn’t going to make it on time. So I rescheduled for today morning at 6:30AM (also didn’t end up making that because I woke up too late. I fail).
I spent the rest of the day applying for jobs and studying for my life-insurance licensing exam. Sister and I went to Target and Yogurtland in the evening. Yogurtland order – the same as usual!
Got home and videochatted with Jen. She came up with a new dance for her kids. To “Waka Waka” by Shakira and wanted to show me. Favorite part is when Juan jumps in in the background. I had to sneak in a picture or two. I wish I could post the video, but I know Jen would kill me =)
Today, I just went to the gym, took my licensing exam (I passed!) and am now gluing my butt to my chair and applying to more jobs. I’ve been slacking for the last few days. Wish me luck! =)
