So, since the weekend is officially over and its Tuesday, i thought i would give a qick run down of the week. After a rather trying time of finishing projects and midterms, i got to settle in the next project. A reclaimation of south higuera, we're still in the prelminary conceptual work so its not too stressful. But on the more interesting and lighter side, i was given a very special privilige last week. Well two actually, but we'll get to the other one later. I recieved an invitation to observe Arnold Schwarzeneggar in a city forum about the special election. On thurs night, i drove down to madonna in to find hundreds of protesters at the intersection, with signs and chants everywhere, i "braved" the section in my car and passed hundreds of glares at the entrance. There were men with rifles asking me my name as i drove in, and i picked up an elderly woman there to give her a ride. We then road the rather long entrance road to large building at the back of the ranch. That night, I unknowling had a conversation with the mayor of San Luis Obispo and sat 20 feet away from arnold as he spoke. He was a very Charismatic speaker, and while people would say thats because he is an actor, You cant act that. Plus arnold is not that great an actor, and responses to audience questions cannot be planned. That night i learned many things. I was informed about the propostions, i learned that arnold is a VERY big man, and yes, he is as tall as my dad.(sorry)
So my other privilige was spending the weekend with a good old friend. Doug came to visit and the weekend was filled with Doug hugs laughs and catching up. Thanks for coming doug. I appreciate it. Hmm, its late, and i dont want a motherly email about my sleeping habits, so i bid adieu. haha. Im out.
