Obviously, my trip was fabulous. We hiked El Moro Valley, Crystal Cove Canyon, the cliffs of Huntington and Newport beaches, the boardwalk at Laguna, and saw some sites in Venice. I consumed no less than three Jamba’s and shopped to my heart’s content at Fashion Island (aka: Fascist’s Island). We dined at El Ranchito and California Pizza Kithcen and P.F. Chang’s and one night we grilled peppers and other assorted yummy foods over a campfire at Corona del Mar.

Heading back to school last Thursday was a bit rough, but a random stranger bought me a chai at Starbucks and it made my life. School went okay, I guess. I bit my nails for the first time in over two weeks before second period even began. Mahalo. Friday was a lot better. I picked up my prom dress (they installed boobs for me!) so Patty and I went to pick it up. It received the Patty seal of approval! Sweetness! At night Lauren and I caught up over a prolonged meal at Fresh City. It was much needed and full of tasty and delicious assorted salad ingredients. It really was quite excellent to just sit and chat about anything and everything. I had to call it an early night because my mom’s flight was coming in around 945 so I was home by 1030. (She was still in Cali, lucky her!) Saturday I poorly attempted to get a jumpstart on some hdub, then went out with Patty, Corey, and Teej. Mostly we drove around and hung out at Patty’s and it was simple but awesome. Good company.

The week ahead is sure to prove itself busy: three ap exams, one national honor society dinner, one student of the month breakfast, and one doctor’s appointment.

I need to vent quite a bit more, but now is neither the time nor the place.
