IN-N-OUT

There was a time period in which I was really into IN-N-OUT. I was willing to walk across Davis just to get a sandwich and/or fries from there. I dont why, but I had a serious craving for the food. I particularly wanted a sandwich from there. I wanted their fries. I wanted the specific taste and feeling of eating those certain foods from IN-N-OUT. I think I must have went to IN-N-OUT very close to 10 times. That is a crazy amount for me. Luckily, I do not still have a fascination with IN-N-OUT. I am glad that I can enjoy the food there every once in a while instead of a frequent craving.

Although there is one picture shown in this post, there should be much more! I know that I went there more than once. I wanted to show more pictures to show how much I craved it, but I could not find them. I guess there is a bad side of taking too many pictures that I dont know where anything is located.

My First Week of Winter Quarter

Monday
School came by so quickly. I definitely was not prepared. On Monday, I thought that my class was at 1:00pm, but I double checked ahead of time and realized that it was at 12pm. Luckily, I did not miss out going to my first class. Afterwards, I had a internship meeting for Davis Feminist Film Festival (DFFF). The internship supervisor went through a review and showed me some of my duties. It also included being in charge of the email. I then began working on the database and filing the dvds. After an hour, we discussed meeting times and internship units. Later, I left and got ready to head out to my volunteer meeting for TUTD. When I got there, there was pizza offered and it seemed very busy since we had much to do that day. We were choosing the winners for the Hackademy awards! I also got a hoodie that night because I reviewed 5+ movies or so? I was assigned to watch Contraband that night and I was excited to watch a movie nonetheless.

Tuesday
This day was much less stressful. I decided to drop that one class that I did not have a change getting into. Instead, I met with my adviser to check my major requirements. Then, it was time to attend class. During class, the professor did not go through the syllabus as much as I expected. I signed up to learn more about Students First and the meeting was that night. I am glad that I went. StudentsFirst sounds like something I really support and I am glad to hear that they are hiring!

Wednesday



I tried to sleep early the night before this day because I knew that I had a three hour seminar ahead of me. I never had a class that long before. When the time for the seminar arrived it was not that bad. Maybe next time it will go on slower or I will be very prepared that it will go on quickly. This is also my busy day and I had two other classes. After my courses I tried to relax a bit. I had a sudden craving for a cookie, so I had that with milk. Gosh, that is such a good combination. I had a internship meeting that night for APIA Searchlight. I thought I knew exactly where the place was, but there was actually two lounges. Luckily, me and the other person that was lost found the place. The co-editors fed us and we also had the opportunity to mingles with the other interns. Judging from who was present, the interns seem to be entirely female.That is a good thing, but I also enjoy the presence of the other gender. Our committees were also revealed that night through which color Starburst our cupcakes had. And, I am part of the marketing committee, so I believed I got the first committee that I applied for. We played a game and it was actually pretty fun. We tried to steal keys from a blind taxi driver and then the driver had to guess who stole the keys.

Thursday
I think I got in the hang of classes by now. I also met with my peer adviser for ASA. I realized that I have to petition to double major and for something else. I also got more books. And, boy are my books are heavy! I did not even buy all of them too! I skipped a meeting and I am glad that I did. It gave me opportunity to focus on one of the readings that I had.

Friday
Two classes today and they went by pretty quickly, despite me being exhausted for some reason. For dinner, me and my housemate went to Manna Korean restaurant. Then, we looked for the lotion that my housemate needed at Bath & Body Works, but they did not have it in stores. We went to watch Contraband. It was a really long movie.

Manna Korean BBQ

Today, me and my roommate decided to go to Manna Korean BBQ. This Korean place is less likely to be occupied by students than Oshio's. This place offers other selections that Oshio's does not have, especially the BBQ choices. However, if I was really in the mood for Korean BBQ I would go to OZ since its BBQ buffet.

I was so close to ordering wine at this place. But then, I remembered that I was going to watch a film afterward and I was reviewing it too. I was also going to drive later. I ended ordering just the lemonade.
 The side orders that they gave us seemed alright. I actually would try every single side dish that was given. Usually, I would not want any of them. But, as I am exposed to other foods and give it more of a try, I realized that the side dishes are okay. With my meal, it added a feeling that my main dish was much better and that I still have something else to eat.
I was given one small bowl of rice. I didnt know if I was going to get a extra one or not, but that whole bowl of rice lasted me with the meat I had. Maybe its the way I strategically eat knowing that I only had one bowl of rice and I must use that amount to finish the BBQ short ribs.
Spicy Cold noodles
 My housemate ordered the Spicy Cold noodles I believe. She did not think it was spicy, but she presumed to eat her noodles. Her noodles looked red, but I guess thats just from the spicy sauce. Her dish actually looked delicious.
Yup, that's my short rib. When the server came with the short ribs, it was still sizzling. I love that! It feels exciting when you know that your meat is still cooking. The short ribs tasted alright. I actually expected it too taste better because it came out sizzling.It looks a lot in first sight, but as I continued to eat along it did not seem like enough and I finished.
