So far.......

I know you all are anxious for pics. Well, yesterday we had the internet checked out and it seems that the "upload" is slower then a snail's slow cousin....but we're getting it fixed in a few days, so......For now, here's an update on what's been going on and my current roommie analysis:

I have applied for employment at a temp agency, and now have to call in with my
availability and hopefully get some income. Tomorrow I have an
interview with a production company, possibly working on a TV show,
which would be really awesome. Don't know if they pay yet or not. I
just heard from another contact that he might have an oppurtunity for
me on a reality tv show, so we'll see what happens there. Basically,
I'm all of a sudden having people want me, and I don't know where to
go first. It's a very strange feeling, but I'm liking that I'm
currently in demand :-)


The weather has been VERY hot. Yesterday was about 106, and
tho it is dry heat, there is also no wind or shade to find relief in.
I had gone hiking with one of my roommates (Jason) that morning before it got
too hot, but even around 9 am it was starting to warm up! I like my
room cause I've got my air-conditioner, but it is only a "room AC," so
the main house is very hot, and we all try to avoid it.


My room is now fully decorated. I'm thinking of making a big collage for my walls as there
is a lot of dead space there. But over-all I'm really liking this place. It's old and creaky, but it has character. It does need a good mopping tho :-p


My roommates are all really great. Most everyone is new to
California, like me, so we are all supporting each other and are
getting to be friends. We've had a Jamba Juice night, group dinners at Islands and In&Out Burger, movie night where we saw Bourne Ultimatium, and Risk night where no one ever wins that game! LOL. I've also been able to get in touch with 2 guys I knew from Tech (Tim and Zee). They both live near-by and we all went for dinner and touristy sight-seeing stuff (we're tourists until we learn how to drive California style damnit :-p) I'm so relieved there are so many people I can get along with here. One of my biggest fears was that I wouldn't have any friends. And tho no one is yet as cool as any of you lovely ladies, at least I have people to hang out with and socialize!

Here is a current list of roommies (I will email a picture once I get the internet connection fixed to do so):


-Won- is 24, and just moved here from Korea. He is a freshman at
Glendale Community College (classes start today). His English is very
good, but he doesn't always understand slang and common sayings and
such.


-Alvin-is 20 and from Toronto. He is also going to Glendale Community
College with Won.


-Mr. Beorki- is in his 30's, from Africa, and is a proffesor at
Glendale Community College. He used to live in DC!


-Jason- is 28, and studied to be a history teacher before getting into
the machine business. He works on the machines and tools that help
upkeep planes and such.


-Nick- is 22 and a recent grad from UCLA. He currently works in the
collections office for Disney Corp. and is a really cool, laid-back
guy.


-Blythe- is 23 and just graduated from Penn State. She wants to be an
actress, but is currently working 2 retail jobs to pay the rent. A
pretty common thing around here.


That is my roomies so far. We have 2 more rooms available in the
house, so we'll see who else we get.
