the effects of stress:

[elvendoll]

i am just about all out of clean clothes - at least as far as comfy, every day clothes go.
i am just about out of food.
my room is a wreck, though i finally got all of my hangers and hung out most of the hangable stuff yesterday.
next up is finishing that, putting my shoes on that closet's floor and clearing out a whole corner of my room. then, i need to find homes for the weird clothing stuffs and finally rearrange the room. yeah.

sol3 and i wandered out to BaGG last night. the club seemed a lot emptier then it was for death guild, and between that, not knowing anyone there and worrying about getting too tired to drive, we left an hour early. but, we made it onto the highway before it was closed for the night (damn construction!) and made it back to my house in 20 minutes.

i ended up running to two sets of toyota dealerships yesterday, so now the car stuff is totally settled. as in, i have a CA license being sent to me, i have the new car insured, the loan in place and... and... that's it! it still feels a bit weird.

a perk of living in california: yesterday, my roommates showed me where i can get a yummy veggie burrito for under $5. i'm not sure which pleased me more - how it tasted, or that i didn't have to explain to the staff that i'd like a burrito without any meat.

something else i'm loving about living here: less then a mile from here, there's a small produce and grocery store that has lots of fresh, and often organic, stuff. it's run by a couple, and since my roommate introduced me, they remember me, say hi, and even ask how my roommates are doing.

where did you get your burrito? Have you been to chipotle yet??? YUM! http://www.chipotle.com/

And if you get only beans and rice they charge you like $2.00. ;)

and the little things that are getting better all the time :)

i cant wait to see you!

See? California is friendly after all :)

I hope you can de-stress. Take a day for yourself, if only to sort everything out.

No school-work, one day.

When you're really stressy, it's hard to work as hard or focus anyway. I doubt you'll lose more time than it's worth over it.

HUGS!

the school work is due Real Soon Now, so it takes priority. If I can get the biggest chunk of it done tomorrow, I'll relax on Sunday - and then on Tuesday, I leave for a week in San Diego, where, while I will be working, I won't be doing any schoolwork.

when are you headed back from San Diego, and are you driving??? (I'm trying to find various ways of getting back from LA sometime soon after the 22nd).

[elvendoll.livejournal.com]

no, i'm flying - i was going to drive, then panicked about not having music and bought plane tickets. of course, murphy's law held true, and i was able to get a car after getting the plane tickets - but if that's the price i had to pay, i'm okay with that : )

my roommate and her boss will be travelling north from socal on the 25th, but i'm not sure if the bosslady would be open to another passenger - is that too late for you, or should i ask?

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't if it looks too techy with the boss. But if not, I would really appreciate it! Flights are uber expensive this late (I thought I had a ride back before) and the train is still $60 for a 7 hour trip if I start in Santa Barbra (I can get a ride there) with 3 changes. Or I can take a bus which costs less, but takes another 3 hours. Eeeee.

I would be happy to chip in gas and am prepared to be either silent or entertaining, whichever is required. I can keep checking to see if anyone else is coming back up.

i asked the roommate - she'll check with her boss today or tomorrow...

[threadwalker.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[elvendoll.livejournal.com]

No go - I'm sorry. Any luck finding another ride?

[threadwalker.livejournal.com]

Thanks for checking. Not yet. It'll all work out. If all else fails, I'll take the train from Santa Barbra.

Maybe try priceline for a cheap flight, too?
