I'm back from my date. Don't have more pics but I had two great days. First he came and picked me up and we had champagne and strawberries at the beach. Cosy. Had to hide the alcohol from the lifeguards though to not get a ticket. It's so strict here compared to Europe. Then we stayed at a hotel chilling, and watching a movie. Today we ate Mexican out, picked avocados in our backyard plantation and went boogie boarding. And I just wrote my sister final essay in art, $35 richer. Kaching. The only thing that sucks right now is I get credit card applications EVERY day. So far I've gotten about 30. Uh annoying... Now, powernap! I'm dead...

Today's workout 1 hour of boogie boarding = 204 calories burned

and it didn't even feel like I had to push myself. Definetly a sport for me. The Pacific Ocean is always cold, not like Jamaica ahh, especially now before summer. But it was a hot day today and I had so much fun. The wetsuit isolates perfectly. This won't be the last time I boogie bord and maybe in the future I can even learn to surf. ;)

Home made fruit ice-cream. Healthy and pretty. What a creative idea! Mix the fruits separately in a blender (or together) and layer them in a plastic cup. Freeze with a stick and it's done. Have to try this soon. Found it here.

I've only been here for a week and a half and already things are going my way. I've had 3 interviews, got my permit on the first try, a date, and today I found out Rana, my friend from school in Sweden goes to UCSB now. Hell yeeah. Just called her and talked for an hour and a half. Haven't seen or talked to her since IB, which was 4 years ago. Oh, and guess who also got jury duty today haha...;)

Coming her was the best decision I've EVER made in my 23 years. Living with my sister that I haven't met in a year and a half feels so right. Even though life is much much tougher here it's SO worth IT!!

The guys that work at Trader Joe's are real hot and helpful. I was standing in line for one minute, when a hot guy my age came by and said that he could help me over in his register, even though I had much more than 12 items. Came home with everything on my list, all of it organic of course and not that expensive either. Ah, I love the US!

Now, time to clean the bathroom and my make-up brushes..

Sleeping in today ;) My sister is off work, jippie. Finally we can hang out and we've got the house to ourselves to. Grocery shopping, laundry, bank errands, mall and making a new visionboard later. Will show you when it's done. Then tonight packing for a 2-day trip with a friend.

Went to the DMV for my written test. I passed my first time, only got 4 wrong (max 6)! Now I can start driving with my permit. Now laundry and reading emails.

My black hair really suits me well, I feel great when people tell me I look latina ;) But my sister is doing her hair two-toned hombre next week. Next time I feel like dying my hair I am thinking of doing that as well. The only thing is that I think I will get tired of it pretty fast. Hmm...
