Screenplay Class & Chaya

Today was my first day of screenplaying writing class! And what a day it was. Alex woke me up with a backpack emergency! So my day got off to a frantic start and I was just a mess the rest of the day. I got Starbucks before I went to school and I spilled some on my white hoodie. I also got lost finding my class because I wasn't paying attention to the room numbers. And then I went to class without a pen or paper, and we had an in-class writing assignment! And while I was looking for parking I f*'d up Rupert's exhaust. I was backing into a driveway and I hit a freakin' pile of bricks. BAH!!!! I ended up not even finding street parking, and resorted to paying for the parking lot.

I am excited about the class though. It's very intensive and the workload would be crazy if I was taking other classes, but luckily I'm not and I don't even care about the grade.

But then the day got better, I went to dinner with Julian at Chaya Brasserie! The food was really good, and the service was even better. I had a glass of Duckhorn Decoy with my steak and it was delicious, my favorite red wine yet! We had a shrimp appetizer and creme brulee dessert - everything was good. Even though it was a Japanese/French fusion restaurant, there were paintings of CHINESE people on the walls!! WTF!!! Fun night anyway though, and a great start to the week =)

Something Magical

So it probably comes as no surprise that I am at times an incredibly whimsical individual - but last night something inspirational happened. Bo challenged me to:

1. Be the best me I can be, one day at a time
2. Make progress and do things I usually do, but better
3. Try new, different things

I kind of shrugged it off, because it sounded like a lot of work. But while I was bitching about how bored I am with life and how much I hate boys, I stumbled upon an ingenious idea for a screenplay! I then re-registered for CCSF and found a screenplay writing class that fits my schedule perfectly (it's on Mondays only). The only thing standing in my way here is that the class is already full, but I'll try to add.

I also will be volunteering at St. Anthony's the first Saturday of every month before work! I'm giving the February event a shot and hopefully conquering my fear of homeless people. I registered with HandsOn Bay Area, and if St. Anthony's isn't right for me I'll try some environmental volunteer work instead.

I'll also try a yoga class! I'm going with my mom on Thursday morning, and I think I'll either hate it or love it. Well, the point is to try new things - and that I will definitely do. SO here we go guys, breaking out of my shell and trampling the horizons!!!
