Woke up around 8:00-ish and got ready, then wentto the cafeteria to eat. After that, came back to my room and got my stuff, then left 'cause it was 9:05 and the bus left at 9:11. Walked to the bus stop and waited, then got on the bus and went through the 30 minute ride around the city until they went to the Amtrak station. x_x It's like, I could have walked there in 30 minutes.. But whatevz. After that, got off and then went to the Amtrak station, sat with Ashley, a girl from my class, then went to get my ticket for the ride. The guy there recommended me to pick up my ticket for Thanksgiving a few days before hand so I wouldn't have to wait in such a long line and I asked if I could get it then since I already bought it online and he said yeah. Then he said I could save on the trip there and changed it for me so now it's only $115 instead of $122. XD What a nice guy, haha. XP But yeah.. After that, went outside to wait for the bus, then got on when it came and then it left.
Was on the bus since 10:30-ish. It left around 10:40 and then it went to a bunch of stops. x_x It sucked 'cause there wasn't even any AC in there! So stuffy and hot. x_x Sucked ass. Attempted to do my math homework for a while in there, but yeah.. Didn't really work out that well. =/ Oh wellz..
Finally got to the Santa Barbara station around 1:45. Found out the train was running late and wouldn't be there until around 2:00. Waited around and then it finally came around 2:05 or 2:10. x_x Went on the train and was searching for a seat for a while 'cause a billion people were going on it from the Santa Barbara station, then finally got one. Sat, looked at the scenery, tried to do some math for a while.. And yeah. Basically, it was a boring ride. x_x There was a guy sitting across from me that talked a lot. =/ Oh well...
Got to Union Station around 5:00. Searched for Nga and then finally found her and we went on the trolley. Got off and walked to find her mom 'cause she was picking us up. Went to their house and then me and Nga watched Batman Begins. Got half-way, then ate dinner, then went back and finished the movie. After that, sat around for a while, talked on the phone, then showered. When I was done, worked a bit on my book-cutting while we watched the first few minutes of The Machinist or however you spell it.. Then we took that out 'cause it was kinda boring and I put my stuff away then we watched Monster-in-Law. Finished that around 1:15, brushed my teeth, then went to sleep.
SATURDAY
Woke up around 8:00, got ready, ate some cereal, then left with Nga around 9:00 to go to the Hollyhock House. About five minutes away from the house, I realized I didn't have my phone, so we had to go back for it. x_x After that, went to the Hollyhock House and waited outside for while 'cause it didn't open until 12:00, but we supposedly had reservations. Finally around 10:00, someone showed up and we broke into groups and toured the Hollyhock House. Tickets cost $10. x_x The house wasn't all that great.. I mean, it was nice, I guess, but whatever. After that, went around sketching and taking pictures. Then around 12:10, we finally left -- we being me, Valerie, Marcela, Caleb, and Jamison. Went to find Culver City and the Steath building. Then after we found it, went to find food. Found a Wendy's and ate there. After that, went back and sketched a bit, then walked around to the different buildings around there and took pictures.
They changed the schedule and we didn't go to downtown. Instead, we finished around 5:10 in Culver City. Called Nga, but she said it would take an hour to get me, so I got Jamison to drive me to the cathedral. First, we had to walk back to the Steath building and then he drove me to the cathedral we were meeting at the next day, and then waited for Nga to come pick me up.
Went back to the house and ate dinner. After that, watched some TV and then around 9:00, went to shower. After that, went back to the room and worked on my book while watching Coach Carter. We didn't finish it though.. Afterwards, played some games with Anthony and yeah.. Went to sleep aorund 11:30.
SUNDAY
Woke up and didn't know what time it was 'cause the TV was blocking the alarm clock. Went to grab my phone and it said 6:00 and I didn't know if the time changed or not, but I thought it did since why would I wake up so early? So went back to sleep, then woke up again at 7:30 and then later, my phone said 8:15, so I went to get ready. Then I come back and it was only 8:30 on the alarm clock and they didn't change the time on it last night, so I knew it was only 7:30 and that sucked ass. x_x Watched some TV for a while -- infomercials -- then ate some food and checked my mail, then left with my aunt around 9:00. Got dropped off at Our Lady of the Angels cathedral and went around to take some pictures and sketch. Then it was 9:45 and we went in 'cause mass was about to start. Wandered around the building taking pictures then later sketching. After that, left around 10:40 to walk to the Disney Concert Hall 'cause we had to meet there at 10:45.
Got there, took pictures and listened to a story about the building. After that, walked around the building taking pictures, then walked to the Cal Trans building a few blocks away. Took pictures and then sat around talking a bit. They took roll, then told us that class would start at 9:00 tomorrow. OMG, so estatic about that! XD Afer that, we could leave. It was about 12:00 by then, so walked back to the cathedral and went to search for my aunt, then went back home. Ate food, played with Anthony, then later on, was hanging in the kitchen with Nga, Ana, Richard, and Anthony and was just talking and me munching on some cereal.. Yeah.
Left around 2:00 to go to the trolley station. Got there and waited, then it finally came and I went on to go to Union Station. Got there, went to wait in line for the train. It was running late and the expected departure time was 3:15 when it was suppose to leave at 2:55. So waited, then went in to line up, but yeah. Didn't even get to board the train until just about 3:30 and it didn't leave until 3:35. x_x
The train ride was very boring. I had nothing to do.. I rested my eyes a bit in there and yeah.. Later on, was sleeping, but yeah. 30 minutes late, so didn't get into SLO until 9:00. Lauren and Kitto picked me up, went home, showered, ate some cup of noodle, and now I'm here. Well, did some other school stuff, but yeah. Tired..
Need to do my English homework, then pack up for tomorrow and then sleep. BLEHHH!
