Settling

This Friday the 13th, I will have officially lived here for one month. I can't believe it! Time flies! I've loved living here, although I still don't think it has kicked in that it is permanent and not just a fun summer.

I still love my internship. It is so much fun to watch outfits be constructed, and different stylists' choices for their clients. Working in the fashion world is very exciting, and so busy. I'm pretty sure my day at work today was much more vigorous than a day at the gym!

My fourth of July, I went down to Hermosa Beach for the night with some girlfriends. We all packed into a hotel room, explored the numerous bars at the pier, envied all of the amazing beach parties going on along the strand, and enjoyed a delicious dinner at the fanciest Cheesecake Factory I have ever seen. Literally, it looked like a yacht club. And we sat outside overlooking the marina..it was amazing.

Since then, my future-roommate and I have been constantly apartment hunting. It's getting hard to keep them straight! There are a lot of pro's and con's to every single one. Some have great locations, walking distance to amazing shops and restaurants, but are a little more run-down, while others are more of a drive to exciting outings, but have great features and are very spacious. Decisions, decisions.

Apart from that, I've been spending a lot of time with Nina and the gang. Her home is so welcoming and Tempur-Pedic bed is just so impossible to refuse. I've gotten her hooked on Nip/Tuck, so we watch episode after episode late into the night, catching up on years of sister bonding time.

Most importantly this week, MY BIRTHDAY is just 5 days away! Although I'm secretly hoping to be surprised last minute by some visitor or another, I know better than to get my hopes up. I'm in the process of planning a great birthday dinner, and fun night out afterwards! I can't wait!
