$23 hamburger

On my fabulous vacation to LA, my friend and I decided to try to live the lavish life for a few hours. We went to dinner at Boa Steakhouse, the number one A-list restaurant just outside of Beverly Hills. We were driving the car my moms friends let us borrow, or rather a beast. It was a huge Dodge pick up truck that was a huge hassle to drive in LA traffic. We arrived at valet and left our vehicle that did not fit in with all the Beemers and Bentleys. Sitting at the table, we realized we completely stood out, and didn't fit in at all. Halfway through the meal my friend decided she was going to start acting like herself, which is obnoxious and immature, so that was pretty embarrassing. After the delicious 23 dollar hamburger, I ordered a 10 dollar tea to go. After we left and were on the road for 10 minutes, I realized I left the tea on the table. I cried.

Los Angeles

So I wasn't able to blog over spring break because I had no access to internet. I went to LA with my friend and we stayed with some friends of my moms and they're the wealthiest people I know but they don't spend their money on materialistic things. They don't have any laptops or wifi, their cars are from the 90's but yet they live in a 10 million dollar house. Doesn't make sense to me.

The Voice

A few weeks ago I got a great opportunity to work the auditions for The Voice. I got to be a Production Assistant in one of the audition rooms and heard over 400 people sing throughout my long 16 hour day. I told my casting producer that I would be out in LA for spring break and it just happens that the LA auditions are during my trip. I had a great experience at the chicago auditions and hopefully will do a lot of networking in LA.

writing

It's really unfortunate that I can't write. However, I am fortunate that my two best friends are TV writing majors. They sit with me when I have to write a paper and walk through everything with me. It's really great that they'll do that for me but it's really sad that I have to depend on them for everything that I write. I am beginning to learn how to structure an essay now. I learned about this thing called a thesis. Funny how I never knew about it before.

apartments

Me and my friend did some apartment hunting this weekend. There are some SKETCHY neighborhoods in Chicago. There was one point where we wouldn't even get out of the car to look at the apartment! It's really frustrating because we have such high standards but such a low budget. Can't have it all...

addiction

I discovered melatonin a few weeks ago. It makes me fall asleep so fast. I'm at the point where I can't fall asleep without taking it. I'm addicted. There are many absurd things that aren't really addictive that people are addicted to:

melatonin
sex
candy
facebook
disney channel
video games
shoes
shopping
facial hair
puppy ears
long, satisfying shits
drama
adrenaline
stealing
the One Ring

Poker

Poker is just as addicting as every says it is. I bought a Texas hold em app on my phone and I literally can't stop playing. It probably wouldn't be a good idea for me to go to Vegas.
