Am I more than you bargained for yet?

Ahhh, yesterday. So I woke up at 1 pm because my dad told me the night before to get lots of beauty sleep. I drank like, a tonnnn of water on Saturday in hopes that my skin would turn out nicer the next day. Surprisingly, it did. Haha, so I got ready and went to my aunt's house at about 4 to go. Turns out that we had to drop off the DVD first at the video store at Hong Kong Plaza, which is totally the opposite direction of the 10 freeway. And then when we got to the 10, there was traffic, and so we had to take the side street to the 210. And on the 210, my aunt was driving like crazy because it said in the letter to arrive 15 - 20 minutes before the session, and it was already 4:40 (starts at 5). Luckily, when we got to the Hilton, others were just arriving too and there was this huge line to the room we had to go to. OH AND I SAW RENEE! Apparently her sister and her sister's friend is in it. Hahaha. Okay, so then it started and the groups of girls were divided to be called into the interview room and that's when I started getting nervous. While in line to be interviewed, I started talking to this girl next to me, Marley. She's from Sylmar, which I'm sure is pretty far from Pasadena. We talked for the rest of the session and I felt so sad because she doesn't have a Myspace or AIM or anything besides her E-mail and phone. Haha, see this is why I hate making friends - you may never see them again. Ugh, so besides thaaaat, the interview itself went pretty well. Before we got called, the coordinator, Andrea Preuss (I think it's her), who was Mrs. USA 2003, told us that the first impression matters a whole bunch during the interview. So I walked into that interview room with confidence, smiled, made eye contact with my interviewer, and knocked her socks out. HAHAHA, okay I'm not sure about that last part, but I personally think I did pretty well, compared to past interviews I've had. We find out this Wednesday if we get in or not. Oh gosh, I'm nervous. Andrea said that less than half of the girls in the room that interviewed will make it, and that statistics aren't in our favor. I don't care. I don't hope I'll get, I KNOW I'll get in. Positive outlook. Haha, but then I'm just setting myself up for failure.

Ugh, sooo after that, my two aunts and cousin and I went to this Afghani restaurant nearby, called Azeen. I've never been there and I was a little scared of trying the food because it sounded so... exotic, but I was feeling adventurous and went through with it. Haha, the food there was amazingggg. The particular dish I chose, smarooq challow, was good, but when I tried my aunt's beef kabob thing, it was DELICIOUS. I swear, really, I'm not lying. I REPEAT, I AM NOT EXAGGERATING. I have been to many restaurants and tried so many different steaks and beef dishes, but thissss was HOLYMOLYSOGOOD. Medium rare and served with Afghani rice, gosh, that was good. Oh, and I tried this lamb dish too that my other aunt got and that was pretty good too. I've never tasted lamb before, but again, I was feeling adventurous. At least they didn't serve those super exotic delicacies, like llama eye's or something. HAHA, but I'm sure that would have been good too if I bought it from a gourmet restaurant for $30 an eye. LOLLL, I enjoy trying different foods. It always turns out surprisingly well.

Oh, and so when we were driving home, we passed by a restaurant called El Cholo, and oh goodness, that was funny. And then my Auntie Gypsy called Auntie Melody to ask where we ate, but Auntie Gypsy isn't adventurous like us when it comes to food, so we had to lie to her and tell her we ate Thai food instead. Hahahaha. Then I went home.
