I'm driving here!

I was looking at my License the other day when filling out one of my VISA applications, and I noticed that it expires this year. Damnit, another thing to take care of before I leave. So I went online to the DMVs website and was hoping that I could renew it as easy 1-2-3 online. Well, they do have a renewal form for online, but you need a code in order to do that which is sent in the mail. Well, since I am renewing mine three months early, I haven’t gotten the mail yet so I don’t have a renewal pen number.

I end up driving to the local DMV station and waited about 10 minutes in line to get my number. I get the number, sit down and begin to fill out the paperwork for the license renewal. I saw that my number was G108 and when I looked at the board, they were on G106… Man, there are such things as miracles! So I quickly, but accurately fill out the paperwork, put in the license info and then I heard my number get called. (continue reading…)

So if you’ve been reading my posts and keeping tabs on the plans, you know that I’m leaving in 5 weeks. My original plan was to have my parents drive me to LAX the day of my flight, but after speaking to them, they made a good point that I overlooked – it’s a work night. Doh! After a day of thinking about it, pops called me up and said that they couldn’t drive me down because it was a late flight (9:30pm) and by the time they got home, it would be around Midnight. I wasn’t down with them doing that and obviously, from the phone call, either were they. My dad said it wasn’t a problem, they would get me a flight from San Luis Obispo (SLO) to LAX. I was semi-cool with that because:

1. They weren’t driving 6+ hours to and from
2. My travel time to LAX was now 1 hour

So my parents are avid Coffee drinkers. I’m sure, like a lot of other ‘adults’, by the time they are awake and out of the shower, they come out to the kitchen and pour themselves a morning coffee. They have a cup or two and then have some more as they get to work and go on about their daily activities.

Me on the other hand, I, well, I drink what I call the “modern day coffee”. I like to pickup my morning Rockstar as I head to work. I sto pat the local 7-11 which is two minutes from my apartment. I walk in and grab the 32oz can, go the counter and $3.97 later I’m drinking away. Not sure when I first had my first one, but damn have I grown to love the taste. This must be how my parents or co-workers feel when they get that first cup of joe in the morning.

But I’ll be damned if it’s come to the point that I actually need to have one now. (continue reading…)
