So I have had a fun and busy 10 days. Last week on Monday, I saw the Yankees and Angels play in Game 3 of the playoffs for baseball! The above picture is one of Alex Rodriguez from our seats. It was my first postseason baseball game and even though the Yankees lost I had a really good time. Then on tuesday, I went down to San Diego for a couple nights. I spent the first night with my buddy Mike and went hiking at La Jolla. The picture above is from our hike right next to Torrey Pines golf course.. it is so beautiful there.The next day I met up with my old friend Andrea and hung out with her in Ocean Beach. It was really nice to catch up with her and get back in touch. Then, the next day I had lunch with one last friend who happened to be in town as well which was nice. Then, the night I got home after school; my friend Matt drove out from USC to hang out. He hung out for the night and then drove home the next day after I got off work. His brother Steve drove out from USC friday night like right after he left and we played tennis which was a lot of fun. Then, we went and picked up my buddy Matt Christopher who I haven't seen in about a month. The 3 of us went to Fridays and had dinner and a few drinks it was a good time. Steve drove home that night and Matt went to work with me the next day.
We invented the best darts game in the history of the world. We came up with a darts football game including scoring, kickoffs, and everything. It was so much fun we pretty much played all day long. Then, that night we decided to go down to hollywood and hang out with a couple friends from high school. It was a blast, we hit up some really cool bars, and didn't get back home until 5:30am lol. Well I had to wake up at 9am for work which wasn't much fun, but no worries. Luckily for Matt, he got to sleep all day. Well Sunday night, we went and saw that man right above there.. thats right Bono. We saw U2 perform live at the Rose Bowl!!! It was such an epic show, the Black eyed Peas opened for them. My dad went with us, and I sold the extra ticket I had to make some of my money back. The picture of the top is a picture of the "claw" or massive structure that U2 hauls around on their tour acting as a stage. It was truly one of the best concerts I've been too.. BEP played for an hour and U2 for 2 and a half hours. It was such a trip to see 100,000 people rocking out to the same U2 songs. They even streamed it live on Youtube and are making the show into a DVD; ahh it was amazing!!!
Anyways, so I slept another 3.5 hours on sunday night since I had to take matt to the airport at like 6am. I went home and slept for another 6 hours and just kinda hung out all day. Yesterday though I slept in and got recharged. Most importantly, I FINALLY FOUND MY MOTIVATION. I finally got my school grind back together again, I have been struggling so hard to find it. I worked on my thesis prospectus yesterday and today I pretty much finished all of my statement of purposes for my applications. Im nearly done with US ones since I already got transcripts and GRE scores. I just need to get my letters of recommendation in order now.
Anyways, played some tennis this morning, it was super windy not a lot of fun and I got my ass kicked by John. Going to finish the SOP's tomorow and maybe start of my research proposal for the UK school's apps. Things are going good though, Steve is coming out friday night to play some tennis and chill for halloween on sat night. I think we are just going to hit up a bar, I dont feel like getting crazy. Hasta Luego everyone.
