The city by the bay

Interesting day, it started off very exciting. I took a flight to San Francisco! Plain and simple, I fell in love, despite some minor mishaps. San Francisco State is an amazing campus, I already feel I belong there. It's has a different (better) vibe than fullerton. I talked to a professor in the film department (which is in the top three in california) and he was the most helpful human being I have ever come across! haha.

Oh to live by the lake, the beach, the zoo, golden gate park, in a quaint suburban town with bars and coffee shops a plenty, a 15 minute BART trip to downtown San Fran and 30 minutes to the wharf. Pure heaven.

Oh but my first impression of the city was not so good..

Our minor mishaps: our plane was delayed due to fog, I better get used to that, so we flew into Oakland. Having only an hour left to explore after we went to the school we decided to hop on the BART to downtown before heading to the airport. Or so we thought... We ended up getting off at civic center. It smelt like urine, we were stepping over sleeping bums, and someone threw full soda cans at us from a third story 0f a building, yelling obscenities.

Other than that...I loved it! I know San Francisco is better than that and all cities have their bad areas, I just experienced them first before the amazing San Fran that I know I'll adore! At least I know one area to steer clear from!

p.s. I know it's been a while since I wrote, but I decided that this is a travel blog and no one want to hear about my life and not so exciting travels between fullerton & olive garden.

so, until I leave for madrid...

goodnight

EXCITING NEWS!!!

I got accepted to SFSU!! ah this year is going to be amazing, one adventure after another.

San Francisco!!!! When I get back from Madrid I'll have a new home town. But oh the decisions. I have to decide between Northridge and SFSU, both amazing film and business schools. I'm leaning more toward San Francisco (obviously)but Northridge is where the industry is. Even so, words can't even describe how happy I am. And either way, I'll still be moving on to a new adventure in a new city.

Anyway, I'm still getting used to this whole blogging and writing about my self thing. It's so different from writing in a personal journal, which I have also started. If you read my handwritten stuff I almost sound like a completely different person. On another note, I hate working on rainy days. Today the lobby was crazy, jam packed with people trying to stay out of the rain and willing to wait an hour to eat salty Italian food. Well, I should be getting back to working on my presentation on zoroaster and buddha.

Until tomorrow,

Adios

4 more weeks till Madrid! Eisner wasn't joking when he said there would be a ton of reading & writing. I'm having trouble keeping on top of everything, especially since they fired hosts at work and now I'm working 6 days a week and plus, taking care of all the things I need to before I leave. Why am I such a procrastinator! It's a curse. In fact I'm procrastinating now on working on my presentation for Monday and on doing my research for the Library class by writing in my blog.

Until tomorrow,

Adios
