Fifth week of college! 9/21/12

If feels like I was just writing the last blog and I'm already writing another for this week. I can't even keep track of time anymore. It's already one week until I come home! I think I can finally say I miss some things about home....I'm not homesick at all but just miss some of the luxuries I get when in SoCal. Food is definitely one of the big ones as well as finding activities to do.

The only (decent) ethnic food I have found so far is an Asian place called "Drunken Noodle". And it is mediocre at best.  I miss the authentic Mexican, Italian, Chinese, etc. food found at home and any place that calls themselves "authentic" here is a joke. For example (Mom and Dad will understand this one) there is a Mexican restaurant/fast food place called The Red Pepper. They microwave their enchiladas, have a big pot of meat, and pull their taco shells out of a big box. And to put the icing on the cake, this place is always bumpin'! I have been twice (didn't learn from my first time to not eat there) and each time it has been PACKED. Everyone loves going to Red Pepper to get the Mexican food (and sandwiches which are gross too). I pass by people talking about Red Pepper and how amazing it is. I guess I just have to learn and realize these poor, deprived, North Dakotan's have never experienced a true authentic Mexican restaurant. 

Anyways, I haven't really talked about my roommate/suite-mates that much. My roommate, Devin, and I have been friends since 1st grade. We came up here together and he is studying Air Traffic Control.  Ryan and Tyler are my suite-mates, as well as Nigel when he is here.  Ryan is actually from Anaheim Hills and went to Servite but I had no idea who he was until we met while moving in. He is studying Commercial Aviation just like me. Small World. Tyler is studying Commercial Aviation as well and he comes from Seattle, Washington. Now about Nigel....not the most social guy. He lives in the single room that is still connected to our "suite" so technically he is our suite-mate but none of us 4 talk to him much. He just does his own thing and will talk with us every once in awhile. But he is cool with noise and how loud Devin, Tyler, Ryan, and I get sometimes. That's just a little bit about who I'm living with!

Best weather by far this week. Clear skies, high 50's mid 60's, couldn't ask for better weather. Just look for yourself! Can't experience these beautiful blue skies at home. This picture was taken at about 10 this morning And it will only get better as winter approaches and I can't wait to continue taking pictures and showing off what I get to live in. :) 

However, the weather is so crazy and awesome here that only 5 hours later it can look like this. >>>

The storm moved in and now it is windy and rain is on the way. But it makes days so exciting!

Well I think I have dragged this on enough...I have a lot to say still but I feel like by now no one is reading because they lost interest but I will just try to add it into next week. Oh wait...I'm going to be home next weekend!! I will still try to write one either before I leave of sometime on the way home. 

Until next week,
