Woo hoo... Snow Patrol was awesome!  But then again, we had pit tickets.  It's an exhilarating experience when the performer is a feet away singing the songs and getting all sweaty.  I had such a great time and I should be more picky about seat selections from now on.  Well, pit tickets are rare, and it's pure luck to have the opportunity to purchase them.  It has been a good year :)  Hot Hot Heat were great live as well.  I never knew the lead singer looked so much like that curly head cheeseball from American Idol 1, Justin Gaurini.  Strange.

Summer school is over, hoot hoot!  I finally had a chance to meet up with Christi and we went to the Hammer Museum so she can get inspired in how to decorate her new place.  The statue should work fine in the living room and why yes the middle sculpture is going to be great chandelier for the dining room.  Ate some garlic fries from this cute Greek restaurant in Westwood, yum!  Of course it was such fun laughing out loud with all the "news".

hump day

Yes, Wednesday was a great day.  After taking the most nerve racking test since starting summer school, I just found out I was approved for a BOG fee waiver.  This means my education is free for a year.  I am happy since school is getting pretty expensive.  I just purchased my school uniforms for clinicals and it was almost $200.00!  I also have books to worry about.  On my list, I have at least 5 books to purchase (eeek)!  Am I really going to be needing these books?  Getting financial help is of help for me.  I sometimes get angry that other countries don't have to worry about paying for their education.  It just sucks to live in America, the land of debt! 

On a lighter note, I saw the Fray on Wednesday night and they were pretty good.  Some of the songs on the album can get sleepy, but they did a very good job adding new sounds and increasing the tempo.  They are pretty good live.  They have grown as a band and you can tell all the touring across North America has matured their sound.  Ended the night at Fred 62, which has changed a lot!  Not as many hipsters (good thing), food gone ethnic (good), annoying L.A. types (bad), and they ran out of fries (hello)!

They sang their very own country song.
