Had my nursing test on Thursday. I got my book Monday afternoon, and covered 1/3 of it in three days... that meant doing hundreds of tedious math problems and tons of reading/ memorizing (plus some online homework and a 2 page paper) to accomplish by Thursday. In a normal school year, this would have been accomplished in four weeks, but because it's summer session and everything is condensed, and because I got my book a week later than my classmates, I had to work tirelessly to get 'er done in a few days. I did the homework, accomplished the memorization and feel good about the test (although we'll see this week how I really did... my brain was totally fried, so who knows!).
On Friday night had my usual date with Mr. Show Biz. He took me to a nice sushi joint (Nobu). I think the final bill was around $300.00, which I think is crazy expensive for two people. But so worth it (too easy to say when it's not my cash)! This is how it works: the waiter comes and you tell him what foods/ ingredients you like, what you can't eat and how much you want to spend per person. The waiter relays that to the chef, and then the chef makes personalized dishes for you... around 4 or 5 courses, depending on how much you've chosen to dole out... it was really freaging good! I would have been happy going anywhere with him, because I just love being around him so much, but it was a really nice splurge to go somewhere like that!
Saturday night I went to a going-away party for my old roommate. She's moving back to Washington. Another one bites the dust. I'm not surprised, though. Most of my friends usually move away after a few years. LA is a very transient town. Over the years, I've tried to hone in on and befriend lifers... people I think will remain in LA for life (I never saw her as one, but she was fun, so whatever). I'm hopefully a lifer... I love it here! The machine here is a beast, and if you take LA too seriously, it can chip away at your soul, but if you just take a "whatever" attitude to the ridiculousness of it all, it can be really fun! Anyway, she had a circus theme, so we all had to dress up circus-y. She had a blow-up jumping castle and fried Oreos, fried pickles and fried mushrooms and everything. Fun party, but I left after about 2 hours... very tired.
Sunday an old college friend of mine was in town, so she (very generously) picked me up and we went out for Thai food and caught up on one another's lives. Then we checked out Michael Jackson's star on Hollywood Blvd. (in front of Mann's Chinese Theatre). There was a huge crowd. We bought cheap $5 MJ t-shirts, too. Fun day!
Have a great week!
Now I want to go eat at Nobu. That's cool.
ReplyDeleteYou definitely should, Avitable! It's a fun experience : )
ReplyDeleteYou have eaten well and tasty. We, my husband and me, ate potatoes and tuna today. Nam! :)
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Avatar, indeed! It was nice. Trust me, most days are not glamorous menus for me... at home, I tend to eat some variation of beans/ potatoes/ veggies... very economical!
ReplyDeleteBusy, busy girl! Sounds like a fun weekend. booga
ReplyDeleteHey Booga, it was a fun weekend! All the same, I look forward to it calming down a bit in August. I am a homebody, after all. And very broke, so homebound I am.
