It took me a while to start writing this one. So the end of the year came, and how quickly it all did happen. Living on campus is over now, a bittersweet feeling. I like living so close to class and others students, but now I feel more free and more like an adult. Either way, classes went well and summer is starting off fine as well. One thing I will miss terribly when I'm off campus is that Chen's suite won't be so close anymore, particularly his guacamole. It's such a strange gift this man has, but its some of the best stuff I've had.
Searching for avocados in Earl's Place sadly will never probably happen again, but hey hopefully we'll still be able to find some elsewhere.
Oh I forgot to mention, a certain someone is out of school in San Marcos and decided to stop by and get in on some grub. Too bad it was finals week when she stopped by, either way it was a fun time.
You all know who this is... this is him finishing some of his last days at UCSD catering until August. I speak on his behalf when I say we're pretty glad to get out of that hell hole of a suite.
Oh I've found out that Mexican coke is the bomb. If you fancy yourself a connoisseur of soda you definitely should try some.
So Ms. Jennifer Manegold got me a little something special for our 1 year anniversary in the form of a bike. 1/9th the size of a real one, it has a fixed gear and runs like a dream. It's a nice little thing to have on your shelf to remind you to get outside once in a while and get on a bike.
While we're on the topic of new worldly possession which I have acquired, my new Ipod touch has stricken quite a chord in Rico and Chen, and prompted many out-doings of one another in CubeRunner. So far no one has been able to beat Rico's score of 400 something.
So for the first week of summer, I've spent my nights in the Gonzalez household. They kindly let me stay in their home while the new apartment is getting ready so that I can go to work without too far of a drive. It's been fun seeing the different side of San Diego with Rico, especially Tacos El Gordo, if you're ever by Highland St., do yourself a favor and stop by. I don't like endorsing companies on my blog, but I feel such a good thing needs to be spread. It's been nice having Rico doubling as a psuedo-tour guide to the theme park which is South East San Diego.
We decided to give some friends a call and headed over to the UCSD Islands for a burger and bottomless fries.
Kristin happened to be one of those friends, who will be down in SD for the summer. Hopefully we'll see a lot more of her between her 20 hour work weeks for Nasa and all her other projects.
Oh that's Jack, he's a shopper in training. We'll definitely see him around if we want any of that guacamole. Nice cart, don't buy too much.
Free ice cream never tasted so good, too bad it disappeared much too quickly.
That was that, this is this, I'm back in LF and probably going to commute to SD for work Monday, hopefully the apartment will be ready soon. I'll let you guys know as soon as I do.
It's also nice having someone who knows everything and yet can still come and play ball on the weekends. This foool's a beast of a player on the court, don't second guess it. I guess where I'm going with all of this is that he will be missed. I hope he knows he's got friends that will treat him like family out in the West Coast still even if he will be out East. He's a special guy and the world needs more hard-working, cool people like Chris. I hope I see him again, and if there were anybody who deserved a great chance at med school, it would be him. Good Luck, kill it, and it's not 'goodbye', it's 'see you later'.
Rico had something to say about our friend Chris... "if ever there was an award for coolest guy on earth, Chris Lim would tie for second with Elton John right behind Mike Tyson. The award would not measure penis size but rather heart size, not to say that Chris has an enlarged heart, but letss be honest...he's not the healthiest eater. He would win it on merit too, for he has done much for us and the world. For example, I once saw him brush his teeth and clip his nails while relieving himself in the bathroom. Those are skills that no college professor can teach, only the best of RA's. Chris, if you're reading this, you need to know that you are one special sounavabitch and that knowing you gives us the ultimate bragging rights."
One more picture blog about Chris to come up before Thursday. Just remember 'Home is where the heART is'. Immortality, son.
