SD Er mere eller mindre kommet ind i en såkaldt hverdagsrytme. I tirsdags havde vi dog vores første midterm i faget "Principles of advertising". Det drejede sig om 50 spørgsmål, hvor 25 var true/false og resten multiple-choice. Det lyder umiddelbart nemt, men de fleste spørgsmål var faktisk ret svære. Fik svaret rigtigt på 32 spørgsmål ud af 50 og det gav mig 64 point ud af 100 - ikke det bedste, men kunne have været meget værre. Ved dog pt ikke om jeg er bestået, da vi ikke har fået karakter, men det håber jeg! Vejret har igen været lidt skiftende - næsten hele ugen har der været super godt vejr. Optil 25 grader, men her til weekenden har det regnet og været gråt. Solen skinner dog lidt idag. Har også fået et nyt fag idet ... read more

My life right now.. Whale watching & Little Italy Mandag til middag tog vi ned til havnen for at tage på whale watching. Vi var ikke helt sikker på om vejret ville egne sig, da der var en lille smule overskyet. Da vi kom derned besluttede vi os for at gå ombord - vi var der jo nede. Hele turen ville vare ca. 3 timer og det kostede 32 dollars. Vores forventninger var høje, da vi havde hørt, at der var rigtig mange hvaler ud for San Diego på dette tidspunkt af året. Vi undrede os lidt over at folk havde både huer, vanter og vinterjakker på, for så koldt var det da ikke! MEN vi blev klogere, det var MEGET koldt ude på vandet pga. vinden. Vi sejlede ud fra havnen og endte faktisk på ... read more

Hello again, Sunday we were up early, made our lunch and off into San Francisco. On the way over the hills to the east of San Fran is this amazing windfarm. We drove through a little piece of it last time but I didn't see all these ones. There had to be over a thousand windmills scattered over the hills and the flats in nice tidy rows of them. Like NZ, they have small ones and huge ones. Alot looked really old and in disrepair, they were on either side of the freeway. Once we went over the Oakland Bay bridge , we hit the traffic jam going to the game. We found a park in a small lot not far from the park. It was 10.30 in the morning , the game didn't start until ... read more

If you like higher class beachfront living then San Diego is the place to be. I really enjoyed my few days in this city as it has an offer of all things Cali - good food, fabulous beaches, amazing sights and awesome weather. I places I went to and would recommend would be the Zoo as it has a huge diverse amount of species and the weather is great to go and walk around and enjoy. Sea World is also a must as I found it most exhilarating and great fun if you have a young family especially. U.S.S Midway which is a brilliant museum set on a aircraft carrier, it has a huge amount of brilliant planes and you get to walk around the carrier which is an experience, also a fitting touch is that ... read more

I flew out to San Diego on the 24th and stayed the first night with Todd and Jordan in PB. The next morning I picked Dad up from the airport and drove to Rancho Santa Fe to play The Bridges Golf Course (home of Phil Mickelson). I remember being shocked to see the practice balls being Pro V1. We played with Greg and Greg Sr. Lil Greg and I ended up beating Dad and Mr. Nelson. It was a great course and a fun day. After we finished Dad and I headed to Rancho Bernardo Inn where we were staying for the next few days. We woke up the next morning and played golf with Dad and all is AA former co-workers. We played a course called Maderas. It also was freaking beautiful. Mattie met us ... read more

Our last full day in San Diego, we wanted to make the most of the beach and went off to Pacific Beach for some sun, sand, sea, and err, Californian's! Pacific beach was nicer than Ocean beach but there was too much sea weed! The sun was out and we chilled in the sun for a few hours before the clouds came over, gutted! Craig decided to leave but me, Jake and Nicole stayed and hoped for more sun, it never came! So we walked along the promenade for a while before catching the bus back to the hostel. In the evening I (Tom) checked in to Nicole's hair salon to get my hair straightened to see how long it really was without the curls!!! It was pretty long, then we hit the sports bar nearby ... read more
