westmont fire

so last thursday there was a fire at my school. it started in the hills of montecito right behind campus. it came down the hill and hit 3 buildings and 1 dorm on campus. luckily, no one was hurt. all the students were evacuated to the gym. about 50 students lost their dorm rooms, and everything in them. it was really scary. then i was forced to evacuate my apartment which was crazy. i was scared it would burn down so i packed a few bags of stuff and went to my roommate's brothers house in a town about 20 min north of santa barbara. thankfully my apartment was fine, but it was really scary that night. on friday we were able to come back to the apartment. my school is now closed until after thanksgiving, so i have a two week break which is bittersweet. thankfully, the buildings that burned down were ones that were planning on being torn down anyway due to upcoming construction we had scheduled.

here is a link w/ pictures of my school after the fire:

i am just so thankful no one was hurt and no major buildings were damaged. we were really lucky.

adventures of san diego

so this past weekend i went to san diego with some of my rooomates and it was quite an adventure. overall it was really fun, but there are definitely some interesting people in downtown sd. first, a man came up to me and asked for my name and phone number, and when i politely turned him town, he completely freaked out and followed us and cursed at me for a good three blocks. i was told i looked like a hooker, i was a slut, and i was prejudice. i will admit i was kind of scared but then he left me alone so it worked out. then later, we went out dancing and two married men came up and tried to dance with us. we told them we were college students and they proceeded to talk to us and dance with us even though they were easily 30 and married...that was interesting...so it was a fun weekend full of good stories. maybe it's just that weird guys in general are attracted to me haha.

senior year

so, as a senior everyone is starting to ask me what i'm going to do after graduation. the answer i give every time is: i dont know but i'll probably do something in marketing since i've had two jobs in that field and i've enjoyed them. i think people need to realize that seniors don't know what they're going to do until graduation rolls around, sometimes not even until months later. I'm trying to remain optimistic and hope i get multiple job offers so i don't have to move back home with my parents....

my raiders are still failing, only 2 wins this whole season. my hope is fading...

on a side note, i worked for a company this summer called tigerlogic and i promoted this free online search tool called chunkit. it sounds funny but it's actually really helpful for regular and online searching. their website is www.getchunkit.com if you're interested.

until next time....
