Cinematic Adventure

I am sure everyone else already knows but LA is hella expensive! I kinda knew but I am really learning that now as today I decided to go to the movies and my ticket was $13.50! Whaaaaa? Insanity. Lesson's learned from my first solo jaunt out into the city:

• If I am going to see a movie I can't go 20 minutes beforehand, apparently that doesn't fly in LA.
• There are no student tickets and it will cost $13.50 to see a movie, so you must choose your movie wisely.
• Movie theaters do assigned seating here and the picture of the theater at the automated kiosk is deceptive, as the top of the picture is actually the bottom of the stadium seating. No more choosing a seat in row A or B, especially on the end of the row.
• Buying candy at Walgreens beforehand will save you $3, plus it is only a 3 minute walk down the hill and then you feel good cause you walked somewhere and you have Red Vines or M&Ms for the cinema, yay!
• Having and making friends is smart for many reasons but one is that you don't have to go to movies alone.

The weekend is over, first day of the internship is quickly approaching, hoping to have a good first week in the City of Angels!

Settling in

Well, I am getting settled in to my apartment. Mom left a couple hours ago to drive home, I was sad to see her go. I was very glad she could come with me. Wish Brendan had been able to come too but the little guy had a baseball game....

Anyways! I am in my apartment, yes it is smaller than my room at home, but no worries, it's nice and cozy. I do need a chair though.

I talked to both of my bosses and I will be stopping by the office on Tuesday but it's the anniversary of their merger so the office will close early that day. They are having a company event at Santa Monica Pier that afternoon which they said I was welcome to attend so I figure I'll see how the in office meet & greet goes and then go from there. I will start full swing on Wednesday morning!

I need to unpack my clothes. So far so good though, the weather is gorgeous!
