Giants game!

Th views of the bay are actually from the back of the stadium. It was really pretty. Then we have a view of the ballpark from where we were sitting. The giants lost 4-3, but we had a good time anyway.

I got an internship mentoring at an elementary/middle school two days a week. I start next Wednesday. I'll update how it goes.

Another Table

Look what we found outside the other night! Another gem. It fits perfectly above the old, no longer working, heater.

Still no school today, it's a mandatory furlough day. I have an interview for an internship for being a mentor at an elementary/middle school. Hopefully it goes well.

The noise from the work on our building is loud as ever this morning.

Oh, and this a picture of the unfinished nutella ice cream sandwich cake that angela made me for my birthday.

Matt and co.

Matt, Kaitlin, and Christian came to town this weekend. We were up late, and then up early. Lots of fun. Mostly just hanging out, exploring the city a little bit, and lots of laughing. Alex Barker joined along for most of the fun too. We ate so good. Angela and i love it when people come visit, because it is an excuse to eat out. Otherwise, we try to save money and eat all our meals at home.

I had been wanting to eat at this place called Auntie April's, that was known for their Chicken and waffles, along with other soul food. The bus ride there was a little bit of a journey, but oh so worth it. The food was greasy and delicious. The people that worked there were so friendly. So much hospitality. It was also pretty cheap! Later that day we had spectacular thai food.

Our little place survived its largest occupancy yet without any problems. Good times. Thanks Matt, Kaitlin, Christian, and Alex.

labor day weekend

This weekend is a 5 day weekend for me. It's actually a 6 day weekend because i don't have class on thursdays. But friday is a mandatory shut down of campus due to furlough, monday is labor day, and tuesday is also a furlough day.
Matt, Kaitlin, and Christian are headed up tonight and will stay through sunday. Don't have anything planned, but i'm sure will figure things out.
Recently, we've been missing our bus transfer to school, but its okay because we leave early enough to where we can wait for the next one and we aren't late. I'm going to go to a internship "informal" conference today, just to check them out, and keep my options open. Hopefully this labor day weekend is greeted with pleasant weather.
I watched part of the SFSU soccer match on tuesday and it was very entertaining. It made me wish i kept going with soccer. i believe we won, when i left the score was 3-0.

That's all for now.

22

Yesterday was my birthday. It was also the last day of Outside Lands music festival. Garrett and his girlfriend, Michelle had tickets for the whole weekend. We didn't think about this until the last day, but we decided to try passing the tickets through the fence after they scanned it for Garrett and Michelle. It actually worked! Haha so we got in for free! Saw some bands play, walked around, sat down, walked around, and then called it a day. Then when we got home, Angela showed me the Nutella-ice-cream-sandwich-cake she made for my birthday. It consisted of 6 ice cream sandwiches stacked 3 x 2 and then the outsides were covered in Nutella. Needless to say it was delicious.

We had our statistics class for the first time today. It looks like it is going to be challenging. The professor came right out and said it. He said be prepared to work hard. I am, but its still just a little scary. Luckily he seems very cool and caring. He doesn't look like a typical professor at all.
Matt, Kaitlin, and Christian are coming up this weekend, so should be another good one.

Hot Today! (even up here)

We were briefly downtown today, and it was down right HOT. it was miserable.

I found out today that the construction on our building is going to take about 2 months. We lost. Classes are so far so good, but it's tough to tell what a class is really going to be like in the first week. Garrett and his girlfriend Michelle are coming over this weekend because they are attending the music festival "Outside Lands" in Golden Gate Park. Jaime Kaufman will also be coming up for the music and we will hang out with her too. It's gonna be a busy weekend in San Fran, as lots of people are coming for Outside Lands.

Patience

The construction on our building is really testing my patience. Its beyond a tolerable volume. It's enough to drive you insane. Here's what it sounds like:
