We were up at 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning to leave Atlanta. After a stressful week of midterms, we were ready for the warm sunny weather of California. Unfortunately, to our surprise, it was raining and hailing on the drive to our hotel! I am from Chicago, and this was the biggest hail I had ever seen! We were starving after our flight and a little lost on the highway, so we stopped off at Farmer Boys “world greatest burgers” for lunch. It was delicious, cheap fast food, and they had a great variety of burritos, burgers, salads, and the HUGE onion rings which looked better than they tasted.

We finally got to the hotel and settled into our rooms. Jamie, Jenny, and I went to Target to pick up some stuff while some other girls walked across the street to get their nails done. Apparently, there was a 99 cent store next door with crazy toys which made excellent grab bag gifts. That evening for dinner we had tasty bread and pastas from the Macaroni Grill. We pretended that it was Christine’s birthday, and the hostess sang opera "Happy Birthday" to her in Italian. We shared the free desert.
It had been an exhausting week and day. I went to bed at 8 p.m. California time to energize for our first match against Pomona and to get ready for our 21 Choices debut!
