DAY 9 San Diego

I woke up when Dane had to go to Scripps around 7 am but I was busy coughing up both my lungs so Dane went to Scripps by himself. I watched Sabrina the Teenage Witch and then Step By Step on the TV. I went inside to Seth's grandmother's house where I ate raisin bran and milk. When Dane got back, Dane, Seth, Lydia, and I went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant where I had a gross flan. I typically am a gigantic fan of flan too. After lunch, we went to Costco where we looked at cheap and high quality mattresses, but Dane did not want to buy because they do not deliver. We found a Walmart, where Dane basically bought everything he needs for his new life in San Diego. We also went to Sports Authority where Dane got a Jansport backpack, and OrthoMattress where Dane wanted to buy the first mattress the sales guy recommended but I strongly felt that Dane was getting ripped off (I think maybe Seth felt the same way, but less strongly than I did), so we ushered him out of the store before he could buy while he gave us a confused look. Then Seth and Lydia had to go out to dinner with Seth's family so Dane and I ate leftover pasta. We fixed his bike wheel and went to a bike shop near his new apt, and then we went to his new apt to look around. It is super nice! It is large and in charge, very clean, and has a gigantic kitchen. I felt this way about Dane's first kitchen, but then they were so dirty that the kitchen became smaller (counters were covered with stuff, messy insides of cabinets, etc) and less usable. I hope that this does not happen with the new apt. The landlord was nice and talked our faces off. We went back to Seth's because he and Lydia had just arrived home. I ate a leftover pork chop, a piece of key lime pie, and a piece of cheesecake (strangely, the cheesecake crust contained pepper??? or was that from the pork chop????) while everyone including Seth's grandmother watched the movie Taken. I thought it was okay... but implausible and unrelatable. Following the movie I went to bed, and I don't know what the others did.
