Help!

Ok, so maybe it doesn't need to be that dramatic, but I do need help. If any of you know of a job (preferably nearby, or one that is easily accessible by bus/bike/walking)I would REALLY appreciate it. I do have a job teaching swim lessons for the school, but it's an hour and a half a week, hardly enough for spending money. :P I did also go to the Uptown Whittier YMCA today, but I'm not too hopeful. They said they weren't hiring, but accepting applications. Hopefully it works out, but if not, I really something more than what I have. Any suggestions?

Good influence?

Haha, the other day I went to a birthday dinner for one of my friends. The original plan was to surprise her in the park with cupcakes, but instead she wanted to go out. So we did...to a sushi place. I had never had sushi before...I don't even like seafood. However, I DID eat a fair amount. :P some of it wasn't too bad even, especially the ones that had shrimp in them(and I REALLY don't like shrimp!) I guess there's hope for me after all. :)

P.s. I don't think I'll be eating any more sushi any time soon though. Unless I wind up accidentally going somewhere for someone's birthday again. :)

Session

I had my second Torrey Session today, and it really went much better than the first I think. It was a more interesting discussion than Tuesday's because unlike Tuesday, we talked more about the themes in the book(we even got into the discussion of what's the difference between truth and fact) The opening question was "how true is this book?" so then we decided to define what was meant by true, and from there started talking about fictional stories, and the three little pigs was even mentioned. :) Once we got off that topic it was a lot of fun to discuss Homer's world view in the Iliad, and whether or not it made the book "true" regardless of how factual it was. All in all it was a good session. And Lord Voldemort got put on a par with Nietzsche.It was very entertaining.
