My 100th Post and My...

Last night in San Francisco. How very sad. :(  I'll really miss Ellen, our apt, all my friends in the bay area, and the delightful city that is San Francisco. *SIGH Very sad. But! I can't pay rent and if I want to go to school, I gotta get my ass back home.  It's weird, it never really hit me until tonight that I'm actually leaving. Forever. Well, not forever.  I'm definitely open to moving back up here after I finish school.  I love SF... but we'll see where my life takes me from here.  I'm pretty excited to start school again, even though I'll hate it as soon as it starts.  My pre-req classes start in late February... Intro to Counseling (online class) and Behavioral Statistics (scary scary scary).  I need to get a B in stats. Fudge. I hope I can pull it off. I've taken two stats classes already for undergrad and I got a C in both. Yikes. They really should have been C-'s. I'll just try to get as much help as possible and meet with the professor as often as possible. I need to do well! I hope I can get into CSUN for the counseling program.  If I don't get into CSUN for Fall 2008, I'll definitely apply for SFSU's program for Fall 2009. I hope I can do it.

Anyway, what the hell have I been up to? Since I've been back in SF for my final two weeks, I've mostly been hanging out with Ellen, slowly packing up, hanging out with Emily and Melissa, and watching LOTS of TV.

Last Wednesday, I went bar-hopping with Kishore, Emily, Sean, Kathy J, Khanh, Ty, Rachel, and Tina.  We went to a few places that night...  We started out at Lone Palm for a few pre-drinks (uh, I had a shirley temple) and then off to Laszlo where I had an OK mojito and weird appetizers.  After that it was Luna Park for a blood orange mojito (which was yummy, as their mojitos always are) and goat cheese fondue, fries, tuna poke.  After Luna Park we head to Ramblas for a tapas style dinner.  Everyone kind of ordered random stuff and while I think it could've been yummy... I already had too much random crap to eat and two much alcohol drunk too fast. YIKES.  So I threw up in the bathroom.  So classy. Yikes. But! Almost no one noticed! Only Emily could tell that I felt really terrible. After Ramblas (and puking, which made me feel 10x better) we hit up Blondie's bar across the street.  Of course, by this time I was totally done drinking but I was able to enjoy myself at Blondie's by listening to their live band play some jazz. Nice.  It was a fun night minus the barfing.

Last weekend Susie and Chris flew up to hang out and celebrate my last weekend in SF.  We had dinner at my fav crab place, Nonna Rose, and after we went to Shine in SoMa for drinks.  Dinner was yummy and fun... of course.  But Shine? Not so much.  The atmosphere was kind of weird.. rave-ish with a really weird mix of people.  Bo bought me ONE shot of tequila... which I think was maybe Cuervo or something.  But that definitely did not mix well with my tummy.  Probably due to A) I hate shots B) I'm weak sauce C) I didn't get eat that much.  I definitely cracked most of my crab but I didn't eat that much... and crab is hardly filling. Well! I had the shot around 11, threw up around 11:30, and was home by 11:45... where I threw up some more and had the spins for about two hours. YIKES.  I kept thinking that something else was in that tequila, but whatever. It's probably just due to my terrible alcohol tolerance.  And here I was thinking that I got better. Yeesh. Two episodes of barf in like four days. Holy crap.  Prior to last week, I hadn't thrown up since I was 21. Bleh. Anyway! No more barf talk...

This week I packed up my room, gave all of my furniture to the Salvation Army (bed, dresser, bookshelf, desk, bicycle), had lunch with Ellen at Olive Garden on Wednesday (mmm breadstick/salad/soup lunch!), then we walked around the mall for a bit to entertain ourselves and digest.  After the mall we went to Genki to get crepes... mmmmm crepes.  For dinner we just got Burger King and hung out at home watching 30 Rock. Wee!  Today I had lunch with Melissa, Emily, Ellen, Bo, and Kathy.  Sad to be leaving everyone, but I promise to come back all the time to visit!  After lunch, I went to Target with Emily and we just wandered around.  I got home around 5-ish and just started loading up my car... well my dad's car.  I can't believe how much CRAP can fit in there!  I went to dinner with Ellen at Tartine in the Mission. YUM.  So so fancy.  We split a small salad and then I ordered the potato gnocchi with kale and Ellen got the black carp.  After dinner I ordered the chocolate torte cake and Ellen got this uh whipped cream type dessert thingy.  MMM. So good and it was really nice to have one last dinner with Ellen as roommates.

After dinner we loaded up the rest of my big stuff... tomorrow I just have a few more small things to put in the car (I hope it fits) and then I'm off back to Arcadia!  Wish me luck!
