Los Angeles - Part 4

Sunday (15th): Recovering from what happened yesterday, we just went to Melrose to thrift shop. Symphani, Keeleigh, Zaida, and I all together for just two or so hours. First to a place called Wasteland, a shop that sells used clothes. A leather coat I was $250 and a sweater was $60, so I guess you could tell that we didn't buy anything. Most of the shops on that street were expensive and I wasn't planning on buying anything, but then I found a dress. That dark red wine colour I love, I'll be wearing it for my birthday. Other than that, we didn't really do anything that I remember and Jasmine was probably sick. Actually, we went to the mall.

Saturday (16th): Venice is where I will be living when I graduate. I swear, it felt like Europe and it has the beach, it's beyond artsy. I fell in love. I know it's not nice compared to other parts of LA but wow it suits me. It even has those modern beach houses that are breathtaking. It would be a dream to live there one day. Zaida (red dress), Keeleigh (black dress), and I took an Uber there, drove through Topanga canyon and down PCH. We got all dressed up to take cute photos and we did just that. It might have been one of my favourite days during the three weeks there in LA. For a late lunch we had a Mexican place called El Tarasco. After photos, food, walking down the boardwalk, and the sunset, we walked all the way to Santa Monica. Uber from Santa Monica Blvd. back to the apartment. Overall, I belong in Venice.

Sunday (17th): Back to Melrose for the Sunday market. I fell in love again, because this market was beautiful. I would go every sunday if I lived there. I bought a new jacket for only $15 because my jean jacket was stolen from when we got Jasmine's car broken into at Runyun canyon. It was just Zaida, Keeleigh, and I shopping today. It was 75 degrees, the best weather I got out of the entire trip. That night, I can't remember if I took Jasmine to the doctor or the following day. But I did, she has been feeling horrible lately due to the virus and such. So we got her hydrated and medicated, Umami Burger after for food. Then, I think we went to her friend's for a photo shoot, she had babie bunnies and I fell in love again. Thenakediaries.

Monday (18th): Slept in. Was suppose to go hiking at the Hollywood sign but plans got cancelled. So I guess I'll have to hike that next time I come, which will be soon. Laundry day, I think (days blurred together). Got Ubatuba Acai bowls with Zaida and Keeleigh. A watermelon salad at Eureka with them as well. Jasmine was still sick.

Tuesday (19th): Last day. Got breakfast with Jasmine and Maya at Blu Jam. Crunchy French Toast with the vanilla bean crream. Go there and order that, trust me. Maya (Danny) knows the best places, they were the ones to show us Ubatuba Acai bowls. Got Jasmine's car window replaced. Rained all day. Packed. Watched a movie and laid around with Jasmine and Maya. Dinner at Cheesecake with a friend, Buffalo Wild wings to just hang out with Maya and Jasmine and then a strawberry shake at In-N-Out drive through with them. That night I danced and hung out with Keeleigh and Jasmine while Zaida slept. Went to bed at 3am and got up to leave at 6:30am for my 9am flight at LAX.

So sad, I was sitting on that plane in Chicago waiting for them to open the door for us to get off and I got so depressed. Jasmine made me feel like it was home. LA was a dream, felt like it never happened. It's crazy to think I was there for three weeks. I met so many cool people and did some crazy stuff, saw beautiful things, and ate lots of good food. I decided, since I cannot transfer because my credits won't go through and I only have a year and a half left, I'm moving to LA or London. Wherever I get the best job (either teaching art or working in an art museum).


Things I forgot to tell you:

• When I went to Disneyland, Cinderella called me a princess and I melted a little inside. (Also met Snow White and Belle)
  
  
• Driving down the 405 with Jasmine, we saw an entire car on fire.
  
  
• Driving back home with Jasmine, Keeleigh, and Zaida we were about to be killed. A psycho guy tried rearing and check breaking us, and crashing into us on the side. Just messing with us. No other reason, I swear. He was laughing at us and just kept messing with us. I was started to cry because it was almost the scariest thing in my life. I thought we were going to die, I am not being overly dramatic too.
  
  
• Besides that, I love driving in LA. With Jasmine's car, it was a beautiful feeling. I drove myself to the airport because Jasmine was half asleep at 6:30am. I drove through Topanga canyon during sunrise and down PCH. Infinite. 

Here's a video of the videos I do have... I would have had all of the videos and pictures from my Snapchat because i saved them all but I have no idea what happened to them when I was adding them to iMovies. So this is all I have..too bad because you're missing out...
