But, anyways.. the lizard problem here is intense.. I was outside walking around, eating my pasta for dinner, talking on the phone and I looked down and saw what looked like a snake. I ran inside to get my camera, went back outside, and it had moved.. I leaned over to look and it ran away.. This was no snake, it was practically a baby alligator- no lie. Check it.
Today was a good day for me, and the office. I was given a list of things to do before my supervisor returns from vacation. I completed 3/4's of the tasks.. it was tough counting work, but I did it, and did it good. The IC warehouse is looking mighty fine. ;)
I am really looking forward to tomorrow, for some reason, being the behind the scenes dude is very fulfilling- this is actually something I would not mind doing for the rest of time... and it helps that I LOVE SAN DIEGO! It's such a good city.
So, I hate doing this.. but, I have too.. Living on nothing, and getting paid $0 dollars to work just isn't good.. it takes money to live.. if you see it possible to donate to IC indirectly by funding my internship- I WOULD LOVE YOU. Here is how you can do it..

It's that easy.. or just put together an amazing "care package" and send to the same address, OR just write an amazing letter- I'd love to get letters via snail mail, it will make me smile, :)
If you're thinking of me, and/or praying for me.. I ask that you pray for a Roadie here, who is from Australia.. he lost his grandfather today. It's too bad, but he will stay strong. Chad- I am thinking about you and your family.
This is random but.. I am craving orange juice. Luckily, when I went grocery shopping last night at Ralph's, it was only 99 cents.. so I bought some. I was smart and knew I'd be craving it.
... oh, btw, family back home- I decided I am buying a house here, this is the one too..
Anywho.. I am planning on taking more pictures of downtown SD, to post and email, I just haven't had much time to do much. Until later..

I can't wait to share this house with you and Thomas and Trent. Yes, there will be four of us. It was decided when you said I couldn't move to DC and then I told you a secret and you did not reciprocate. Second floor to myself, here I come! <3
