amazing day today :D

Had my interview at Xooro today, felt like it went extremely well, even if I don't get hired its cool, I felt like I interviewed well and I wasn't nervous at all. It'd be awesome if I get the job I really hope I could do more than just work in the store serving customers, the place is amazing and the owners are great chill people, they seem to get what they are doing and the vision that they have for the company seems pretty awesome.

Anyways after that, I got together with my partner and we did a little shopping at target and we went to chili's near mission valley and the service was amazing it was the first time that I've gone to eat at chili's and they really surpassed my expectations the portions are big and the food was delicious, I got the grilled chicken carribean salad and I loved the sun dried cherries they are most definitely an upgrade from dried cranberries, I loved it overall.

Also today I slept amazingly I can't wait for the day I get to wake up everyday by the side of my partner :)

anyways I'm on my way home right now, good night

Its such a beautiful rainy day in San Diego, and I'm on my way to an interview at Xooro in mission valley, they sell "Premium Spanish Fritters" and the whole concept is amazing, they add a new spin to the regular churros that most people had had by filling the middle with a sweet filling of your choice.

Its crazy to see how companies are brought up by simply adding a new spin on something that is already great and making it super high end looking.

Anyways I really hope that I get the job itd be awesome to work with a new company and see what I can do for them to increase their success, I hope I even get that opportunity :)

I am so frigging tired right now, but I guess overall amazing and productive I got all my photography work together and turned it in, and had an amazing time doing our photo shoot today for class, got to work with studio lightening, I really think that in a few months I will be able to actually perform work confidently without having second thoughts.

My photography class has taught me so much and I can't wait to take another. Also my teacher is super chill and I think that as his first time teaching photography I believe he is doing amazingly well, his background is fashion design, but does freelance photography you could check out his site at http://kipgerendaphotography.com/.

Anyways right now I'm on the trolley going home to sleep and to fix a computer... my friend just called... now the plan is get home fix computer and hopefully catch some zzz's. Hopefully..

I've come to realize that my family & I aren't really the sleeping type with the exception of my dad or maybe my dad side of the family.

Its 3am and we are roaming through Chula Vista, we came to drop off a piece of mail now its become a full fledged trip, with coffee and mini donuts and sitting on a curb just talking about how flat the tires are getting and I not being able to tell the difference.

gosh now the topic of the DMV came up, I dislike with a passion the DMV so much besides I'm not very confident when it comes to things like that just because I don't want to mess up, sure I passed the first time but gosh what a hassle to go and wait a couple of hours in a building that seems to be caught in an early 90s stage. I dread not passing and having to come back to retest ugh what a hassle, but then again public transportation won't do me much justice either with the budget cuts and major changes that seems more of a hassle now.

Also what are all these people doing out right now shouldn't they be at home sleeping and off the road, are they on their own adventure? What are they thinking? What's going on in their lives?

Okay I'm gone now before I start over thinking these things.
