Bright and Early

My cousin and I had returned to sunny Southern California expecting sweltering heat, but it was cloudy and cool. I had driven back Thursday with my parents and we had missed the crazy storms in LA. All along the way, we were wondering why it had become cloudy and dark once we passed the grapevine. This was actually the only time where I stayed awake for most of the six hour trip. I really like long trips in the car and I didn't mind the smell of cow poo that accumulates along the 5.
Then, my cousin's flight was delayed and she arrived in LA at midnight. I was so sleepy. The weather put a damp on our plans of going to the beach. I hadn't seen my cousin in the longest time and we had a lot of fun together. We ate A LOT of cheesecake from Cheesecake Factory; we went shopping; we watched Indiana Jones (love love love love it!); we ate dim sum in Chinatown; we ate gelato - basically, we got really fat. I also ate two boxes of chocolate and a piece of tiramisu. I managed to eat so much sugar in ONE weekend. My cousin even made this guy's day because we were on the freeway and this orange sportscar pulled up next to it and my cousin smiled at the driver and it totally made his day - buying that sportscar really gets girls' attention.
Since my cousin left on Sunday, I've been a bum. I've watched A LOT of t.v. and I've been doing crossword puzzles. I get such a great feeling when I fill in all the little boxes. I really hate watching those milk commercials with that ugly dude. If drinking milk makes me obnoxious, ugly, and untalented - I would never touch the stuff. Those commercials are so annoying.
I found a new favorite bagel - strawberry bagel! OMG It's so yummy, better than real strawberries. Well, maybe not. But they were awesome. I can't believe I'm back at school already. I start classes tomorrow. My break passed me by so quickly - I barely finished what I had planned to do. I didn't really get to read for fun because my brain was dead and all I wanted to do was watch television. I did get some time to think about grad school and I realized about how there'll be so many schools I'll never attend and I wonder if I'll miss out on something. When applying to college, I hadn't applied to some schools I was interested in and I reasoned that I'll apply to them for graduate school. But, now it looks like I won't apply to those schools. It's weird, even though I've complained about hating not being in Los Angeles, I still want to attend out of state schools. I still want to live on the East Coast and such. I'm getting so old. Before long, I'll be looking for a job.
