Thursday the 7th of February.
I've officially passed the month milestone. I'm sitting The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf sipping on a medium sized Cafe Vanilla Latte and dipping my Lemon Biscotti Cookies. Good choice.
Yesterday was a very shitty day in regards to weather. It started raining, not profusely, but nevertheless it was annoying. The weather here reminds me so much of Sydney's weather. Not THAT cold when you think about it, but quite annoying if it makes sense. However, the atmosphere of the entire San Francisco reminds me so much of Melbourne. Everything is spread out, it's young and hip but still has it's history and has great cafes and restaurants.
We went to Golden State Park which honestly was such a disappointment that I'm rating that shit down on TripAdvisor. It was so shit. And also, it was quite dangerous as well. We were supposed to go to good tourist spots to take good photos with the Golden Gate Bridge but the rain and fog would mean we would be taking a huge risk. We saved it for another day. I was a bit sad at this point as that means I would have to do things with Joyce and Linda that I'd already done, but the weather was too inconvenient.
We went back to Union Square and the girls did some shopping, including Linda purchasing a Babyliss Pro Hairdryer. I really wanted one so bad. For lunch I had a wonton soup which I specifically asked with no noodles because I only wanted a shit load of soup water and some wontons. She gave me the noodles and a shitload of veggies and like one wonton. Ugh. It cost me $9 too, I shouldn't have even ordered it. Today I'm not eating anything tbh.
It was 4:00 and I had to be back at their hostel at 6:00, which means it'd take 30 minutes by bus to my place (4:30), get ready in an hour and get the bus (5:30). Yeah no. The public transport system here is so fucked. I ended up in a really bad and unsafe part of town which Google Maps said I was to get my bus. I checked the route map when I got home. The fucking bus doesn't even stop there. Ugh. I was mad. I had missed two buses and the next ones were in 39 minutes and 42 minutes. Fuck you Muni transport network! I guess that's another thing they have similar to Melbourne - a shitty transport network. I ended up having to pay for a subway because I knew that route rather than a bus.
I reached the apartment at 5:10, I didn't have enough time to get ready so I just charged my phone for 15 minutes and left. Ugh. What a waste of time.
I met them at the hostel at 6:00 and we went to another NBA game - Chicago Bulls vs. Golden State Warriors (the home team). I love watching these games but I was so angry and flustered that I didn't enjoy it as much as the Lakers game. Additionally, we were going for the Bulls which was the Away team so we felt a bit betrayed, but by the end of the much I didn't mind who won, it was still entertaining. Also, Stephen Curry absolutely KILLED that game. Wow, what, am I turning into an NBA geek?! Oh and at the game we had the Southern style version of "fish and chips" which was catfish and fries. It was so oily and salty I wanted to vom and actually took 2 laxatives just to get it out of my system. It's the next morning and I am STILL bloated. Ew, I don't want to look fat.
The game finished at about 10:30 and I reached the apartment at 11:30 contemplating whilst sitting on the toilet whether or not I should go out clubbing. I ended up choosing not to because I had an early start tomorrow instead opting to stay up to 2am (sarcastic). Why do I do this?! Oh well at least I smell good and it was 2am. Yay.
Oh furthermore, it sucks that my phone plan has ran out and it's so hard getting around without me having data or Google Maps. It just shows how much people rely on me. I was in a bit of a mood yesterday and posted a shitty FB status but I honestly don't mean it. If you know me well, I'm a moody person. I do enjoy this place but one little thing here fucks everything up and you just feel so bad about yourself.
Let's hope today is better.
