MOLLY

I was just informed by my brother that my cockatiel, Molly, passed away last night. It makes me extremely sad. I've had him
ever since I was in middle school. I had another cockatiel with similar colors before Molly until my dad thought if he put her on top
of the cage while he washed it she wouldn't fly away. Low and behold 3 minutes later she did fly away. By then after we got Molly and we were told that it was a girl. Well a couple months into having Molly we noticed that she and our other male bird, Moe, were very territorial with each other. Thus we then learned that Molly was a boy. We just let him keep the name Molly because he responded to it. Molly was a very fiesty bird. He didn't really like being touched unless you were going to feed him, but he gave you lots of attention when you were near him. Whenever I went home and I slept in, if I had woken up then he would sqwuak until I came downstairs and talked to him. He loved it when you let him out of his cage. After Moe passed away he would sometimes fly around looking for Moe. Molly was a good bird that I will miss I just won't feel it until I go home and it's completely quiet in the house in the morning.
Rest in peace Molly bird

CAT LADY

I'm sure I've mentioned to a lot of you atleast once about my crazy
neighbor. She has one cat but feeds the entire neighbor hood so
whenever we come home late there's always atleast 3 cats on our stairs
that dart down those steps once you start walking up those steps.

That's only one of our worries concerning her. She used to have a
crazy boyfriend who was 10 years younger than her. He was very abusive
to her and I've had to call the cops on him twice because of her
screaming help. Not fun. That was until he got jumped over winter
break last year and then never really came back.

But despite all the weird things about her life she is also a very
nice lady. She loves to leave us gifts when she cleans out her
apartment. She's left us crackers before. And the day after her boy
was jumped we found beers outside our front door. Tonight I got light
bulbs. How very nice of her. I'll have to thank her tomorrow.

ICE CREAM SUNDAE

After work Monica and I ventured off to the Cousin Candy Shop to buy some candy, but we ended up at the ice cream shop down the road. I decided to get a sundae and this is what I ended up with.

I definitely ditched the whipped cream and still only ate like 4 bites of my ice cream. The cone wasn't crunchy so I wasn't feeling it at all anymore. Next time i'll stick to one scoop of ice cream in a cone. Time to do laundry and start my book. =]

THUMBS UP

So my mom definitely rocks. She just paid for half of my flight to
Vegas for this weekend. I get to see my friends from home finally
after atleast 6 months. I'm stoked.

SUNDAY NIGHT AT BORDERS

After finding out the name of the book Matt's mom read I immediately looked to see if it was available at my school library. It was checked out til the 8th and there was already one hold on it, so for the past few days I've been contemplating just buying the book. Finally today at work I decided to buy it when I got off work.

I get to borders and to my surprise there's a bunch of people there on a Sunday night at 8:30 I assume it's got something to do with comicon people. As I approach the crowd I notice they are all wearing harry potter clothing and a guy surrounded by the crowd. I take a picture assuming it's some famous guy. I notice a few sporting mugglenet.com stickers. And I look it up finding out it's people from Mugglecast and Pottercast which I believe are podcasts.

Guy from Muggle.net

Anyways I go on walking around the store and I get lost and entrances by the many book covers I pass. Yes, I judge a book by it's cover. I don't read enough to know what style of book I like. Eventually I remember that I already had a book in mind and find the last copy of The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. I'll probably start it tomorrow but I can't lie I'm super excited to start and finish the book.

PICTURES FROM STEPHENS BDAY

The night started out at the frat house with his bros. He shotgunned some beers. Took some shots. Basically waited until Midnight to roll around!

Singing their frat song to Stephen.

Stephen & I.

At midnight we proceeded to go to Effins, which is the local dive bar around my school. It's San Diego State tradition to go here at the stroke of midnight when you turn 21. Then your friends just buy you drinks and get you hammered.  I chose to bless Stephen with the shot and killed me on my birthday. I could've went worse but I decided to be nice. Haaha

I got him the 3 Wise Men. This is him saying screw you Lindsey. He had been trying to avoid my shot all night long. 

 

That's basically his reaction to my shot. It consists of Jack Daniels, Jim Bean, and Jose Cuervo. It goes down pretty smoothly, however it kicks you in the end and the taste stays in your mouth forever. Yumm. That was my treat to him. 

Update later with picture from Universal in Hillcrest for a fundraiser.

STEPHEN MITCHELL

Happy birthday!! Words cannot express how happy I am that he is
finally 21. I definitely have my partner in crime by my side again. I
helped him celebrate with a 3 wise men shot, which he tried to avoid
all night. Hahaha his face was definitely like mine when I took it.
Will update later with the pictures from last night.

IT'S THAT TIME

After a week and a half of drinking practically everyday it was
definitely time to go back to my normal gym routine. However with a
test this morning at 8 my trip to the gym illprepared.

First of all I forgot my own water bottle. I hate having to walk back
and forth between my workout to get water. It's such a hassle. Plus
I'm not a big fan of the taste of the water at the gym.

Secondly I forgot to put the running podcast on here, which I have
become a big fan of lately because it really does make you run faster.
I've been wanting to try it on a run outdoors. Anyways, due to the
lack of music my motivation was low and my run on the damn treadmill
was cut short.

So all in all, I was quite dissapointed in my workout attempt. Better
luck tomorrow. With all the drinking being done tonight and this
weekend for stephen's birthday and next weekend in vegas. Eek.

GRADES ARE IN!!

So after a long week of waiting for my last grade to come in...it finally has been posted. And I am thoroughly surprised and happy with the grades I received. Let me break it down for you.

ENS 305: B+

Abnormal Psychology: B+

RWS 305: A- 

I was basically MIA from the world for those 7 weeks and I was still surprised with what I walked away with. My classes weren't particularly the easiest classes, however they weren't extremely demanding. Just throw work into the mix and my stress level went up the wall. But this is only because I am definitely one of those people that like plans out their day ahead of time in their head. I kind of figure out how long this and that will take and just watching the hours diminish in my head makes me stressed because I know all of my tasks will probably take longer than planned. Also the fact that each day, there's always a curve ball thrown at you that just throws everything off balance and I can't handle that. There just aren't enough hours in the day to do all the things I wanted to do mainly because the reading requirements for each class were out the window. Each teacher swore that all of us students weren't crazy enough to take 3 classes in one summer session. So for 7 weeks I always had a book attached to my hand. But the times have changed. More time for fun, yet not enough time to make it to the beach. 

On another note, I would love to mention how much I love my iPhone. Today I was able to register for my classes from the comfort of my own hostess stand at work. I no longer have to rely on other to do it for me if I'm unable to be at the computer. I was really stoked about it today. Aaah technology! You never cease to amaze me. Plus, I discovered ATT wifi at my work. GOLDEN! However, it was kind of lagging when I tried to use it so I relied upon the wonders of the 3G network. The easiness of the iPhone and its accessibility just makes it literally like a labtop in the palm of my hands. I'm not going to lie, when I'm at home and want to go on the internet I will grab my phone before I go on my labtop. A very well spent $300 in my opinion.

And still I'm interested in picking up some reading now that I have more free time. Anyone want to offer up some suggestions? I don't read enough to know what kind of reading I like, so I'm up for anything. Hit me with your best shot. 

JOLLY BOY SALOON & RESTAURANT

This is the view of the patio at my work. It's a beautiful patio that I would love to have in my future home. I especially love the vines that are supposed to climb up and over the patio, but no one trains them to.

But it's not the patio that keeps me coming back to work every week. And everyone knows that it's not the uniforms. It's definitely my coworkers that make the environment so enjoyable. What's a day with out the server David telling me that I'm late and making fun of each other. Or without our chefs New York accent talking out the side of his mouth. What about my GM asking me tons of questions about the special of the day? Or Enrique telling the customers we have free water? Or my favorite...getting off work and Adrienne asking where we are going for happy hour that day. It is definitely a really fun place to work at and I get along with everyone. If it weren't for my coworkers and the ambiance they help create at work I wouldn't have stayed so long...plus I get to pick up some Spanish here and there.

The only other real big downfall of the restaurant in my opinion is how touristy the area is especially the location of the restaurant. One day things will be dead the next it could be only a Tuesday and it could be popping all day. Another downfall is that I wish we had more Mexican food. However I have become quite fond of the variety of our menu because it is a really good selling point for groups who have picky eaters. I have yet to try our seafood dishes besides the mahi tacos, but everyone I ask say they love the food. So check out my restaurant sometime. If you can't find anything you like on the menu I'm sure our chef has cooked up something delicious for our special of the day..trust me I sample it every time! Lol..

OLD TOWN SALOON

At the local bar down the street from work enjoying a Stella Artois with Adrienne. I'm rewarding myself from a long week of school and work. The flower guy that comes into our work definitely almost tried to offer us flowers and then recognized us from work. Haha. That's great. Only I would simply get enjoyment out of something so simple.

Update:

Just ran into our managers at O' Hungrys. We definitely didn't plan this one. haha.

SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION 2

Summer is half way gone and I'm still taking classes. the class this session is only at 8 am though I must admit it's harder to make it to class and actually to tend to the homework because school isn't taking as much time in my day as it did first session. However I'm managing my time very well so far. Still no time for the beach though with work right after class...it looks like I'll be spending this summer not tan at all. But its all going to be worth it as seeing this will be my last year at San Diego State University. And then i have a whole year to explore and study for the GRE and apply to grad schools. I'm really scared, but at the same time really excited to see what is in store for me. Although I do miss Matt in my life, at the same time I do realize that I have a whole life ahead of me. I did the best I could do to make him happy. I honestly have no regrets about it because I was all about it, but it just didn't work out. Anyways, I promise a more interesting post next. I just wanted to see if I could add text to this thing while on my phone.

TEST POST
