Friday, June 24, 2011 - I woke up from a pretty relaxing good nite of slumber. I arise slowly from my bed as not to tumble over from a dizzy spell, (especially since i was diagnosed several months ago with vertigo), After disconnecting and cleaning my PD site (a routine rital that i go through every morning), I ease into the bathroom to take care of the next thing to Godliness, and then back to my bedroom for the taking of numerous medicines, and from there, i started my productive day.

Today, I went with Tiffany to San Jose, she had an appt. to be interviewed for potential housing, at a very nice apartment complex, right across from the University. She will be attending San Jose State University, this fall. First, we got lost trying to find the eatery on the square, Downtown San Jose called Quickly, USA. OMG! I wasn't aware that Downtown San Jose had so many one way streets (like most metro cities do, right!), and besides Mapquest took us on a wild goose chase (so to speak), Don't rely on Mapquest to take you to your exact destination, because Mapquest, sends you way out of the way, i really don't think Mapquest, is aware that certain streets can't be cross a certain way, because i don't think Mapquest takes into account that the street could be going against us (one way), (lol). What was on our side, was the fact that the restaurant was in the facility of the University campus. So, while looking for the restaurant, we made sure that we didn't get to far passed the University neighborhood, (so to speak). Finally my daughter, called and told them that she was a little lost, and then she was instructed to go near the Martin Luther King Library, which is very unique, because it is on the campus, but it also welcomes the public as well. Finally the guy decided to come outside of the restaurant, (which is directly across from the east entrance of the University & Martin Luther King Library), and the guy mentioned that he will be wearing a light blue shirt with jeans, and that seem to be much easier for us to find him and the restaurant, but as we began to look for him, it seemed like today of all days, a few guys on the street in that area were wearing a light blue shirt of some type, (i kid you not), what! was it wear a light blue shirt day at the Univ. (lol), my daughter and I got so frustrated trying to find this guy on the street. Well, finally we decided to just park by the Univ. at a meter by a Chevron gas station, and go by foot to find the restaurant, and while we were walking, we almost walked pass the guy we were suppose to meet, he was walking right towards us, I think it would have helped, if he would have also said he was asian (lol), that truly would have helped narrow down, just looking for a guy with a light blue shirt, when we were looking for him on the streets, right! Well anyway, he escorted us back to the restaurant, and we sat outside, the restaurant is like a little cafe (i see why we had such a difficult time trying to find this restaurant, which turned out to be a little cafe, which was also far off the street, so how in the world, were we suppose to see this restaurant, when it was way back off the street for that matter, you know i was more frustrated than my daughter was, especially when my patience runs very thin these days (lol), i am sure many of you in my age bracket can relate. I sat and watch my daughter be interviewed by two students, who could be two of three students that could potentially be her roomate, and i must say i was very impressed with the way she handled herself (with so much confidence), especially since this was a first time coping for her, she said it is so different from interviewing for a job, the questions are so personal. This scene truly reminded me of a rerun on Goodtimes, where Thelma had the roomates from hell, if you seen this particular rerun of goodtime, she had a guy roommate that collected different little reptiles, (mainly because he was a biology major) and their was another one named Bear (who ate them out of house and home), and their was a girl roomie, that was in the mentality, that everything is on limit, even your boyfriend, so you see she truly had the roomates from hell, i got to thinking what kind of people would potentially be my daughters type of roomates, we did however meet two of them, the girl, who is of asian descent and of course, the guy with the blue shirt of asian descent, well anyway, they took us to take a look at the apartment, and it is very nice and neat, but i wonder if it was tidy for show, for the potential roomate. They even showed her the room that my daughter could be accomplying. The apartment complex, even house a fitness room, a outdoor swimming pool, and jacuzzi, plus the apartment has two balconies, and there is a sundeck on the top floor of the building, and of course, a laundry facility on each floor of the apartment complex. The building is real state of the art in appearance, a very nice and relaxing lobby area, with elevator accessible, and a very nice office on the ground floor. The parking is also nice, that each students can accomply a parking space, which is nice, because it is highway robbery on the streets to park on the regular. Well, that was my productive day with my daughter, very exciting i must say, it brings back memories of my college days. That is it for now, until next blog, i wish all my bloggers all the best. My husband is taking me to Yosemite tommorrow, i am so excited, i am getting on the cycler real early on Friday night, because we have an early morning depart to yosemite.
