Yesterday


Jake and I went to the beach then had dinner and drinks at Jak's Grill, which was fantastic.

At the beach, a seal poked its little head out of the water. At first, I thought it was a black lab then it dipped back down into the water. So cute. I'm still amazed that I have seen both bald eagles and seals since I've lived here. I have yet to spot a whale. :(

When we sat down in the bar section of Jak's, there was a gorgeous girl sitting alone with a glass of white wine. She sat there the entire time we were there, texting someone and looking towards the door, obviously waiting for her date.

After an hour she left and the waiter took away the remaining wine. Ostensibly someone stood her up and it made me feel bad. Who would do such a thing? When I was dating that was my worst fear. I hate being in restaurants or bars alone. I feel like everyone is staring at me.

On a side note, I'm done with film. I really need a digital camera. The film store mistakenly sold me slide film, now I have to go through each one and get those converted into prints. I haven't used slide film since the last photography class I took, where our pictures were put on the projector for the whole class to see. Then, I accidentally bought a role with space for only 12 pictures. C'mon!!

Only 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day until I leave for Hawaii. I can't wait. The last trip I took was a year ago to see my mom on the East Coast. Since then, all my disposable income has been used to fly home to Chicago.

Also, I decided to take my freelance side career a little more seriously until I go to grad school. I'm suddenly inspired to get off my ass and not settle with being a copywriter. I'll let you know how it goes.
