i would fly to the moon and back if you'll be, if you'll be my baby.
got a ticket for a world where we belong, so would you be my baby?

Año Nuevo
Hahhaha so I fell asleep or something in my chair for like an hour. Crap. And I took a super hot shower cuz it was freezing.

Anyways. Sea elephants. Yay. First in chem class I got back some homework, and while I got a decent grade on it (uh homework is graded?), there was a suggestion that I visit the instructor during her office hours to work on my conversions or something. Okay, I can do that. Conversion factors. Useless. Teach me how to calculate something useful. But forget that let's talk about my journey through the boonies.

I stopped by Costco to buy a polish dog and soda for my lunch, and I end up leaving around 10:30 in the morning. I crossed the San Mateo Bridge around 11:15, paying the two dollar toll. Omg the single lane 92 freeway is ghetto. No trucks should be allowed on single laned highways! Jeez. Pch (highway 1) was a bit funner to drive, because of all the passing lanes and such. Eventually I got to where I was supposed to be, at around 12:10 PM. Little bit over 1.5 hours to get there, not bad. Woulda made it there faster if it weren't for those stupid slow trucks.

So yes, apparently I was there in the fifth grade, because I remember seeing some things in the visitor's center. We hiked along a trail to a staging area before actually setting out to see the elephant seals. I tell you, those suckers are pretty lazy. They just lie around and throw dirt on themselves. The weather was freaking nice, even a tad bit too hot actually, so I can see why they were being lazy. Nonetheless they were still fun to watch. Got to see a few testosterone-generated fights, some good ol doin it "like they do on the Discovery Channel" style. At one point, a pup that was lying on the top of a little hill lost his balance and slid off the hill, into a ditch, hahaha. Noob. Man, the life of being an alpha male elephant seal. Eat, sleep, and mate. Fosho.

I think around 2:30 or so the tour was over with, so I left and started driving north on pch. My cousin had told me about a little beach a few miles north called Bean Hollow to check out some tide pools, so I stopped by there. Unfortunately I didn't find any tide pools, because to get to them would have required quite the trek. After the hike I just took, I said no thanks. I took a little stroll on the beach, wrote in the sand, then bounced.

On the way home I followed a Volvo to pass cars until we got to 92. On the way back, I drove behind a Qvale for a while. Nice car, it is. There actually wasn't too much traffic coming home, only a little bit at the 92/880 interchange, where you come home from Chabot, haha.

Stopped by the auto shop to get an estimate on the bumper. 200 for the bumper, 400 for labor. Uh, can I just buy the bumper and put it on myself, then? Weaksauce.

Magic Johnson and Isiah Thomas played some horse on tv earlier. Unfortunately, those guys can't shoot anymore.
