things you should know

1. I live about a mile away (a two minute drive) from school. Big road, open space, no big buildings allowed. I walk outside from class to class, no elevators, no hallways, just sun. ps. I don’t think I’ll get any use out of my Hunter rain boots!

2.    I am obsessed with my going-away present j.crew bag. I take it everywhere. 

3.   I have a garden! Or at least the start of one. Currently growing: basil, rosemary, cherry tomatoes, snap peas, and aloe. 

4.   My absolute favorite time of the day is after 6 when the sun goes down, the weather is perfect, and it’s usually a little breezy. The palm trees make me feel like I’m on a never-ending vacation, too bad my class work reminds me that I’m not!

california, week 2

I spent this week shopping for furniture/apartment stuff (still don't have a couch, but getting there), laying out by the pool, and ordering/waiting for 20+ school books to arrive (for those of you who are working right now, don't be jealous because once classes start I'm pretty sure I'll be putting in more than 40 hour weeks). I wish school would just start already! T-6 days until orientation!! Ps. of course I found a Jersey street in California, only me.

what a hike.

Thanks Griffith Park!

On our way back from buying a table (for plants on my patio, photo coming soon!) off of craigslist, my sister and I stopped at Venice Beach for a few hours. We totally got stuck in awesome LA traffic on the way home, but I think it was worth it.

hello sunshine

After an extremely long week, I finally have an apartment and (thanks to my friendly neighbors) internet. Can't wait to fill you in.

PS. Did you know that California apartments (or at least where I am in Orange County) do not come with refrigerators? So crazy. At least I've got tons of space!
