Apartment

So I finally got my apartment at Davis! About time I know. Moving in this Saturday. I am really excited to be honest. Finally moving out, and living on my own. I honestly do not even know how I'm going to handle it. My biggest fear is starving and failing all my classes because I spend too much time just trying to survive... Then I would have to drop out and live at home and go to a junior college. Just a random thought for the night. I would appreciate it if I could get some feedback from you guys who read this. Just drop a comment, telling me how Im doing, are my post too far apart, should they be longer, shorter, more photos? dont be shy haha.

San Diego Trip Part 2

So my trip to San Diego was pretty cool I would say. We had a lot of fun. My best friend went with me, along with some of my cousins and some friends from Los Angeles. I made a pretty cool road-trip playlist for the car ride. Macklemore, The Neighbourhood, Kid Cudi, J Cole, were some of the artist on it, and it was really cool. (sneak peek into my music tastes) My parents found this really cool hotel right on the water. Our room had an ocean view and you could go down to the water in like 2 minutes. We went to the beach a lot, visited the random parts of San Diego and Oceanside. Met a lot of new people, some pretty weird ones at that. Ate at some interesting places. One day we went to a night market type of thing, with a bunch of live music, and food vendors. The food was really good, and the music was good as well. There was one band which was made up of a high school science teacher and his 10 yr old son who played drums. The father sang and played guitar. At night I went out and took a bunch of sunset pics just for fun, and some of them turned out pretty good, so I put them down below. It was a really great time, and I cannot wait to go back next year.

San Diego Trip

So, all of next week, Im going down to San Diego with some friends and family. Just gonna hit up some beaches, probably go to Sea World. It should be fun, meeting new people down there. Some pretty close acquaintances of ours are meeting up with us there. They're pretty chill, somewhat typical Southern California people, really laid back, and pretty much live on the beach. The day after we come back from San Diego, I have my freshman orientation at Davis, so that should be interesting as well. Gonna meet my room mates for the first time, plus get to meet alot of new people. we pick our classes on that day too, so we will see how that goes.

Camping

So last week I went camping with my family at Sugarpine Reservoir. Its a lake about 10 miles from Foresthill. The lake is pretty cool, really clean, and very quiet. They do not allow jet skis, or other 2 or 4 stroke engines on the lake, so there is no pollution or noise. There is a lot of fish in the lake, both trout, and bass. We arrived Monday morning and set up our campsite, and went swimming at the lake. It was really warm. At night we had a campfire with our friends who also went with us. We went fishing 4 times during the span of 3 days we were at the lake, but I didn't catch anything, unfortunately. We also found a legit rope swing at the lake. There were actually 3 rope swings at the lake. One was really small, and even though it had a huge drop it wasn't exciting, because the swing was really small. There was another one that had both a huge drop and a large swing. It was pretty extreme and really scary. I only went off one time from it. The third one we found by accident, but it was the best one. It was both exciting and within the comfort zone of everyone. The next day my abs and arms were shot, because the rope swing uses your core and arms. It was a really fun half week at Sugarpine, and I cannot wait to go back year.

Camp

So this last week, I was a counselor at my church's annual kid's camp. I had a blast and it was a really good experience. The counselors came 2 days early to prepare the campground for the arrival of the kids. We literally spend like 10% of the time actually preparing though. The rest of the time we just hung out at the lake, barbequed, and did a bunch of dumb stuff while the kids were gone.
The kids arrived Sunday night. I was the counselor with my best friend for the smallest boys cabin. I was both scared and excited at the same time, because dealing with little kids is pretty difficult. Boy was I in for a surprise. My kids turned out to be amazing. They were all really well behaved and really easy to work with. Also there were a lot of cute female counselors so that was a blast as well. One truly amazing thing was being able to teach these kids about God, and what he did for them. I had to leave 2 days early because I had work, which was a bust. But I'm not too mad, because at least I had a chance to attend the majority of camp.

Job

So after like 2 months of intense job hunting I finally got a call for an interview. I totally wasn't even expecting it. I applied to Grocery Outlet just because, and didn't give much thought to it. Then last Thursday while I was driving to Stinson Beach with my friends the manager called me and invited me for an interview. My interview was on Friday and apparently it went well, because on Monday I got a call that I got the job, and I start Tuesday. So after my first day I can say that work is pretty hard. I came home after my 8 hour shift with a monster headache and extremely tired in general. I was put to work stocking shelves, and making all the product on the shelves look good, and appealing to the customer. I work from 8am to 4:30 pm every day this week so I get pretty good hours. So I'm making pretty good money, not complaining at all about that though.

Apartment

So, recently, I was contacted through a mutual friend to rent an apartment at Davis instead of staying in the dorms. I have decided that i will live in an apartment for multiple reason. One, is that I will save a lot of money. The apartment will cost me almost a third of what the dorm will. Also I will begin college already knowing a couple of people instead of being a noob on campus. Actually I already know multiple people who go to Davis, most of them are going to be juniors or sophomores. The only downfall I think is that I would now have to learn how to cook, and I would have to take care of bills, and maintain the apartment. This will be a lot more responsibility and stress, and I'm worried it could affect my grades. My parents are really over protective, so I feel that with them gone, I wont be able to make the right choices, because they hve made every decision for me so far. Im just really confused, but hopefully it will turn out for the best.
