My laptop decided to stop working last night. My mom insisted that I get her on Youtube last night and when I finally relented my laptop did the same thing it did a couple months back at school and made this blue screen appear with all these computer terms that I don’t understand. Then it started turning on and off by itself until I took the battery out. It was horrible. I’m planning on going down to San Diego to visit friends anyways so I’ll just drop it off at tech support so they can work their magic. I’m now on the relic that is my old PC and iTunes won’t play any of my music.
I might have gotten up on the wrong foot two days in a row or is it on the wrong side of the bed? This is what can happen to bilingual children; we might get a little confused. OMG I’m pulling a Ricky Ricardo! Now I’m totally OK with it.

It’s ridiculously hot in LA. I don’t even feel like stepping out of the house sometimes. I wish it would start raining or something. (My favorite weather is cold weather with a little rain.) I think I’ll buy an umbrella in hopes that rain drops will start falling out of the sky/ my farmer’s tan won’t be so bad.

I need at least one of these locks. I don’t appreciate people bursting into my room in the middle of the night/ early in the morning asking if I’m asleep when I clearly am.
September 14th 2009. It’s going to be GREAT. (Unless 15 yr olds that think Alex Turner is going to fall in love with them scream his name in my ear like at The Last Shadow Puppets.) Let’s hope for the best! Too bad Klaxons aren’t really supporting.

I Facebook chatted with my coworker from my San Diego job today. It went a little something like this:
“I
am
so
bored”“So
am
I”“So are you working at the office or are you in LA?”
“I’m in LA not doing anything. My summer class got cancelled too so I’m uber-unproductive
“I’m working in a restaurant making tons of money”
“You suck”
“but I’m spending it all on alcohol”
“OK you don’t suck that bad”
Our little chat did not make me feel any better about how unproductive and depressing this summer has been. I wish I had his personality because trust me, that’s probably the reason he’s making beaucoup money. Then again he’s going to Ireland next semester so he needs it. But I want to go to Oxford next semester so I need it just as bad.

Unfortunately, I did not get hired at Macy’s. Apparently they’re not hiring seasonal summer workers, but I should go back when I’m out for Christmas Break. The point of working this summer was to make enough money so the by the second week of January I was taking classes in Oxford for the semester. So frustrated. I don’t even feel like applying anywhere else because I’ll probably get the same answer. I might just start reading the California Driving Handbook (or whatever its called) again in hopes of learning something and getting my driver’s permit. I’m nineteen years old and I don’t even know how to drive. Ridiculous I know. There’s no point really since I don’t have/ can’t afford a car; maybe just to be the DD when my friends decide they want to get wasted. Maybe I should just get my permit, go to driving school, and use the rest of my savings to just buy a used car. I could try to go to England next summer or when I graduate from college or just not go at all. Whining over.
I’ve recently become addicted to cable TV shows involving cakes, mostly on the Food Network. I briefly considered dropping out of college in hopes of working in shops like these until I thought about it more and realized these people actually have artistic talent, which is why the cakes look so amazing! Most, if not all, of my dreams are crushed at the realization I am not artistically gifted. At least watching these shows makes me appreciate these pastry chefs. Oh yeah I want a cake from one of these places at some point in my life. This point is probably not in the near future because I imagine they cost lots and lots of money.
Summer’s looking up! It’s been terrible so far, but after a handful of “we don’t really think you’re good enough” emails I finally got one yesterday for an interview at Macy’s! It seriously made my daybecause 1) I’m bored and need to do something with my time and 2) It’s my first interview after filling out tons of on-line applications. Hopefully I get the job because I will need el dinero when school starts or if I want to go to England in the Spring. Wish me luck!
