I have officially spent my first day in Degollado since I was about 13. I haven’t seen the entire town yet, but the town has definitely gotten larger. Today I had the opportunity to see my dad’s house in person. It is currently being built and is coming along nicely. It’s a three story home that sits atop a small hill and has a view of his pond and agave plants. After spending most of the day on the farm, we went to pick of dad’s truck in Las Limas and it began to rain really hard, so we waited a bit for the rain to calm before we left the house were dad’s truck was parked. Once on the road we headed to a small restaurant on the outskirts of Degollado. The food was pretty good, I think the restaurant was called “La Carreta.” It reminds me of the nicer Mexican restaurants we have in Los Angeles. Anyway, so far so good. I’m probably going to have to go to bed soon, because we have a long day ahead of us tomorrow.  

I was kind of hesitant to go out on Saturday, but I’m glad I did. Cris’ brother took all of us out for Cris’ sister’s birthday. We rolled in a white Cadillac Escalade limo to this club in Hollywood by the name of Garden of Eden. It was a fun night with lots of drinking, dancing, and music. I ended up getting home at around 4am. That wasn’t such a good Idea, considering I had to be at work in Santa Ana at 10am.

Work was probably one of the worst experiences ever. I was supposed to be there with another person all day from 10am until 7pm. Turns out that they had scheduled two ladies along with myself; one lady for the first half of the day, and another one for the second half of the day. The first lady showed up 2 hours late, and left a half hour early. The second girl never bothered to show up at all. So I was at El Super in Santa Ana all day, feeling sick and hungry by myself, without anyone to give me a break or keep me company, which in turn would have kept me motivated.

Sunday night I helped Cristina move back to UCLA. I was so tired I almost didn’t have any energy left to help. After I set up her computer we went down to CPK to get a pizza. It’s always fun to go there because we can have a full sit down meal for around $13. We order one pizza and split it, we ask for bread, and we only drink water (yes, we are broke college students that have to watch every penny).

Anyway, all in all it was a good weekend.

BTW, Saturday, my first client’s loan funded, so I get my commission check very soon. Also, yesterday I had an appointment in Compton that looks very promising. All right, write to you guys soon. Peace.

All in all, this weekend was pretty relaxing and enjoyable. Friday Cris and I went to the pool with he family and cooled off from the hot summer heat. Saturday Cris and I went to Josh’s house, we had a fun night with friends, carne asada, aroz, salsa, cerveza, and a hot Jacuzzi. Sunday I went to Cris’ house for her nieces “early birthday” party. She’s turning four in a few days. They had a jumper and tons of good food; carne asada, tacos, chips, nachos, cerveza, and cake.

Today is Monday and I guess I’m back to my summer routine of working during the day and chilln’ during the night. So far, today I went all over campus and delivered a bunch of stuff and I just finished scanning a photograph for some lady that works across the hall. Soon I’ll go to lunch and have an awesome sandwich. But for now it’s just a waiting game until I decide it’s lunchtime. Peace.
