New abode

Finally moved into a new place on Friday and got around to taking a few pics today. It's a 3 bedroom house, 2.5 baths, front little patio, small little back yard, nice kitchen (i love the stove and already made meatballs and gravy last night). Nice high ceilings, nice colors. Only downside is that it's the opposite corner in relation to where i'll be going to school, bout 30-40 minute commute. Two roomates, Sabin and John, nice guys, not psychos, thank god. Still no job yet, the hunt is exhausting but is neccesary. Hopefully this week i hear some good news. Thats all for now.

1 week in

So i've officially been here a week, well a little more. Man this town has changed. It was getting big when i last left, it's gotten even bigger. More strip malls, condo complex's, casino's even. And yet with all that expansion, I STILL CAN'T FIND A JOB!! Man that is frustrating. I'm the wrong sex, and if i was a female i'd pray that i had a good boob job cause it matters, oh does it matter. And I also don't know the right people. That's the real trick, knowing the right someone to get you into a job anywhere. I mean i even told someone that I'd be a dishwasher, that's how bad i need work. Alas, patience IS a virtue. I just hate the waiting part, lol. Not many pics, just this one from when i was dropping off applications at the Venetian, it's of their ceiling. I will let you all know of any good news as soon as i hear it. The best lead i have is a Todd English restaurant opening inside Crystal in City Center. Interviewed today, good vibes, said they would be making calls for second interviews by the end of the week. Hope i get that phone call

Vegas Baby, Vegas!

I made it, wooohoooo!!! So i arrived yesterday, amidst one of the worst rain storms in California all year, so it took longer. I also hit snow up in the mountains of Nevada. No great pics to post cause it was raining the whole time and today it's overcast so it's not as spectacular. I will get some good pics soon and post them.

That completes my journey to the state, but it's just the beginning of my journey in this new beginning. Stayed tuned to the blog for updates on school, life, and everything good. I will try to post at least once a week, maybe more. I'm off today to check out a place to live and meet some possible roomates, hope they don't suck or aren't psychos.

Cali!!

Had a pretty good day overall. Said goodbye to james and brian as they flew back to jersey, drove up to los angeles and met up with mark. Got the full automobile tour of LA, unfortunately it was raining, all day, of course. Just my luck, i get to cali and it's rainy shitty weather. Suprisingly enough it cleared up, and was sunny the rest of the day. Got to see what all the Hollywood buzz was about, and I'm still trying to figure out what the attraction is. I guess it's the mystique of the stars or something. Hangin out with mark, off to dinner possibly in a bit. Then off to vegas tomorrow. Took a ton of pics, but have to try to figure out a better way to post them.

starting mileage for day 5

downtown Tuscon, or was it Phoenix. Ugh,

I forget. It's arizona for sure

Not an overly long day of driving, but a little brutal cause I have a sinus cold and my right ear just needs to pop and it won't, ugh. But i finally made it to California, met up with my friends JAmes and Brian at their hotel. We're going to grab a bite to eat, but unfortunately they are a little hung over from a long party filled weekend to go too nuts, so it should be a nice, welcomed relaxing evening. Hopefully I will get some pics tonight of Anaheim. Will get them up later if i do. Here are some from todays journey.

last batch of day 4 pics

day. It truly is a little slice

of heaven in a bottle. Best
