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!
