January 29

Today sucked. It was full of errands and unpleasantness. Pilates was definitely the highlight, had a private class with Myara once again cause no one showed up! Then went to the gym to spin, Ash interrupted my spinning sesh to tell me to bring him my business cards cause some "Beverly Hills housewives" might have "job opportunities" for me... whatever the heck that means... do they want paintings? I couldn't get the full story since i was in the middle of an intense cardio workout... After spinning I strolled around Beverly Hills in the beautiful sunshine to go pay my phone bill and cash some cheques. It was lovely. Texted Brandon, got no response. Came home, grocery shopped, showered, had a solo tea party in the backyard, had a miserable night of homework and lonely procrastination.

January 26-28

January 26

I'm back. Nana's funeral was so wonderful and so fun - seriously, people were like "this is more like a wedding than a funeral!" Such a fun party, good dessert, good company - especially my beloved American cousins who I never get to see!

I arrived at the airport and Brandon was there to pick me up. He's adorable. He bought me a stuffed dog (but I didn't have the heart to tell him that I hate stuffed animals and would've preferred flowers)! After getting in the car (and him obviously opening my car door for me), he ended up taking me allllll the way to the Brentwood Pinkberry because they're the only one that has green tea! So we got pink, went back to the house, hung out with Leigh, Dave, Jordan & Todd.

Finished my drafting homework in the morning, ate cereal with Leigh, went to class, sat through the LONGEST Residential Design Concepts class... Taylor, Akela, Deeann and I were all going crazy. Then onto sketching which was wayyyyy more fun. We ate pistachios, and I got my homework done in class. Came home, made study notes for my history quiz tomorrow. Brandon picked me up and took me to his fave sushi restaurant on Robertson, he ordered for me (which i love), we had a bunch of amazing things that the chef cooked up for us and I even resisted dessert!

January 28

Hollywood sign hike. Almost died while running... apparently not hiking for a week makes you out of shape! Stopped by Brandon's office before school, met the infamous Cody, went to Facebook class aka Autocad... got my homework done for this week and next week... ummm... went to history of architecture, got perfect on the quiz, got out half an hour early, brought Taylor her Starbucks Ginger Molasses cookies (they're discontinued in the states... 1 point for Canada)! Battled traffic en route to M Cafe, got some Kale salad for dinner, and then was pleasantly surprised by Jordan announcing that he was coming over to get his drill. So I made him entertain me for a while, we made blueberry muffins and pondered uses for my sticker collection.

January 21

Rain, rain keep on raining, cause I love wearing my Hunter boots. I also love being lazy and not hiking every morning! Woke up, Leigh and I enjoyed delicious bowls of cereal while watching the rain blow down the umbrella in the backyard. Packed a bit for my journey home, ichatted with Brandon, helped Maria change the sheets on my bed (the mattress is crazy heavy) and then made my way to school in the pouring pouring rain. I've been listening to old Bloc Party lately and its really wonderful rainy day music. Got to school, sat through the longest autocad class ever. Everyone gets so lost and Akela, Deann and I just sit there so bored. Luckily today, facebook action got me through. Jordan and Todd and Ryan have been all over inventing phrases for the DTA acronym. So we posted a million on facebook, and i'll repost now because they're hilarious:
