Yesterday, I went to San Jose.. Kidding, this isn't the freaking Gordon Biersch training manual.BUT there is a Gordon Biersch in SJ, as well as the SJ Airport..I could smell the Garlic fries. SOME SAN JOSE__MOMENTS.
OH GOD
o Being alone with my mom in San Jose. o If my plane crashed, would I have to share the oxygen mask with this old man or would he let me take it for myself? I still have my youth! o What will my mother say today? o Half of my headphones decided to stop working.
YEAH!
o First sight of Adobe Corporate Headquarters from a distance. o Adobe UP CLOSE + Cool Banners! (Almost as cool as the AI Sticker Jeff Micklos got for me) o Driving past: Indian, Thai, Frozen Yogurt, Cafe's (+Crepes), and a brand new cupcake shop. o Not seeing a single starbucks. o Cheap vegan food. o Cafe connected to student library with sandwiches named after books. o Veggie sandwich called the secret garden + strawberry Italian soda o Sitting outside next to a pretty library. o Walking around SJSU o Nice dorm buildings (-Freshman) o Realizing that I can bike to any location, like the museum, grocery store, cupcake place etc..just not the mall. o EVERYTHING IS SO CLEAN!!
ARE YOU FOR REAL?
o Mothers extremely loud cell phone going off in the museum,then conversing. o "Eww it looks like a bunch of bodies are stuffed in a box, I don't like that" o What did you think mom? " I can't stand to look at it, it is all so ugly, how can people call that art?" blah blah blah..how are you my mother.? o Mother not wanting to get burritos.
YEAHH NNOOO, NOT COOL
o Pretty buildings on campus, minus freshman dorms (don't care) and Art Building (care deeply!) Just because art majors like to paint+ doesn't mean each side of the building has to be a different color. It should not resemble a shack, in comparison to other buildings, either. o First, locals. Second, nor cal. Third, So Cal. Hopefully I can maintain above a 3.0 these next two semesters. o If freaking locals an nor cal fill all the slots, I cannot get in! o Finally after arriving to the cupcake shop, I only had two options, the case being nearly empty! Jeff Micklos, I really wanted to bring you home a cup cake, but they didn't have cool flavors. o Letting my mom hold the map to find the shopping mall. Mistake! She lied and told me to get off at the wrong stop, which resulted in a dangerous walk to the mall. I should have checked, but I shouldn't have to double check everything she does! o GAP went all American Apparel.
A BIT OF SAN JOSE
SJSU (part of it)
Bad quality picture for a bad quality building. But I do judge by how things look, I am sure it is amazing inside.
Walkin the streets of San J.
Or am I in Stars Hollow?
The Convention center Still trying to pinpoint what this reminds me of, so far all I have is an old Fever Sleeve design for a CD cover. A wolf or bear clawing through the cover..sounds cool, yes? It wasn't my idea.
Museum of Art. Building behind it looks like a backdrop.
Me with almost Mondrian.
San Jose is no San Francisco, but I think it's a good place. I can Visit SF when I want to see Juan..or if I don't want to see him. I really hope I can get into the school there because I want to experience living outside of my parents house and outside of San Diego. Jeff, I think you may like it here, not as much as SF, of course, but there are some good things.
