I know the way.

 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  Mot
hers 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 t
o 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.
