Shifts, shifts, and spring break.
Wow.. What a week it's been!
In between meeting foreign women on buses, working 11-hour shifts, and trying to get at least the minimum amount of sleep required to still function, I've found very little time to amuse myself with leisurely activities such as reading, watching television and snorkeling. It's a good thing that I love working otherwise this would most likely turn out to be a painful year.. Or I'd quit the job and spend most of my time doing the aforementioned.
However, I have been eating properly, (See Fig. B. which is intended to ease mum's worries.. and all others who worry about my gastronomical exploits.) despite my obvious lack of good time-management skills.
So, today was my day off. I got up late, showered for about 3 times the recommended length and then went and read a magazine at the local Starbucks. Can anyone say: Over-excitement!?
Yes it's true today was uneventful, but I did manage to visit the travel centre nearby with enquiries about spring break this year.
Apparently it's very difficult to get a flight to L.A, for the simple reason that every college and uni student to the South of this location is already doing it. No problem though. Maybe I'll just paint my walls blue and yellow, stick large posters of scantily clad people on them, and turn the heating up to simulate the Californian beach vibe. (Somehow it's just not the same.)
Perhaps next year..

Nice food... OK, we both know I'm lieing ;)
Good to know you are working like a dog, and to answer your spring break problem... ROADTRIP!!! with some "international" friends perhaps... =D
Alex: You bum!! I'd do anything to get to the beach today!
Sevy: Heheh. Actually it was really nice food.. But it was at a restaurant.. Don't know where I'm going with that.. Anyhoo, totally I would love to do a road trip, but I would have to organise it like.. now. Ok I'm gonna do that.. lol good luck me.
Oh and seriously now, I found out that Battlestar is filmed near where I'm staying, and I am soooo going to go and try and get in to see a shoot or at least a set or something.. That would be mad..

battlestar: find out which company does the "extras" for the show. sign up for them as a "model"
oh yeah. get a haircut, and get a real job :)
LA is horrible. You should try SF. And not just because I live there.
Good to hear things are working out.
Z: Universal?
Uh.. I dunno. Who does the extras? I know there's a podcast and stuff..
Rob: Yeah I know LA sucks, but it's not LA that I'd be staying at, that's just a stopover. ;)
Anyway now that I'm working I can't call the shots as to when I will & won't work so chances are this year I'm not going to Spring Break.. :(
Oh well!
