It has been quite an interesting week for me to say the least. Stocks weren't going my way and stuff. I decided to take the day off on Friday and decided to head out to Corona del Mar with a few friends. Traffic wasn't too bad on the way there and it got pretty bad on the way back. Took about 40 minutes to get there and an hour and a half to get back.
Corona del Mar is a very interesting community and the beach was kind of small. The complaint I had was that the waters had a little too much seaweed in it. I had a blast boogieboarding and for the most part the water was great. Definitely a lot better than staying home and watching the stock market collapse. The weather was great and the people at the beach were fairly nice in regards to letting others borrowing their stuff (i.e. shovels, buckets). None the less, it was a great time to spend a Friday with friends and mother nature.
As I previously mentioned, the main purpose of this blog is to blog about food. We had lunch at a local burger joint, at the corner of East Coast Hwy & Marguerite Ave. I ended up getting a cheeseburger combo -- which included a cheeseburger, fries, and a large drink. (Thank you, Mike for paying for my lunch.) The combo was definitely not a bargain for $6 + tax. I mean, sure you get the "personal" feel when you order the food, but the only thing that holds this place back is the fries. I found myself dousing it with more salt and pepper as I am eating. Never had that problem with In N' Out fries.

Intraday Chart of PortfolioHot! That's probably the only adjective I can use to describe the weather in California right now. It's perfect weather to head on out to the beach and have a wonderful bonfire at night.
Other than that, it's been an uneventful day in the life as a UCLA student. I just had a random thought today and the question is: Should I join a fraternity or not? I'm pretty sure the benefits outweigh the consequences. If I should join one, which one should I join? I'd like to join a social fraternity, not the professional ones (yet).
Looking forward to a few things in the near future:
- Beach bonfire -- this week?
- Cousins coming over from Texas in 2 weeks
- still 2 more months of summer vacation left
