During my brief “vacation” from work, I took a road trip back to the area where I grew up and went to schools at. In preparation for the long commute next week to my new job at the Yahoo! Media Group, I had to take my car in for maintenance work. In the process, I got a free car wash from the Honda dealer where I took my car in, which is nice! Haha, for the last few days, I have not been able to recognize my car as easy as before since it is so shiny now.
Before catching dinner, we were driving by my undergraduate college, the University of La Verne, and I decided to stop by to pay a visit to my old computer science professors. However, I didn’t get a chance to see Ray, who was my undergraduate advisor while I was going to school there, because he had just left when I arrived.
The college has changed a lot since I was there. They moved everyone and a good number of departments around completely. I spent almost half an hour just looking for the new area where the Computer Science Department was moved to. Anyhow, I finally found the Computer Science Department by running into Seta, who is the chairperson for the CS Program.
For the ITC crew: Seta’s new office was our old ITC office. I walked in there and could not believe that we used to stack at least 10 employees in there at one time. The good old times!
I caught up with how things are going with the CS Program there at ULV and got a chance to speak to Ray over the phone from Seta’s office. To make the story short, they are really happy for me that I finished my CS Masters degree at UCI and about my new job. =)
Later that afternoon, Allison and I were both incredibly hungry and were craving the fish tacos from Senor Baja a.k.a. El Taco Nazo, who has the best fish tacos ever. We managed to make a quick dinner stop there. After the quick dinner stop, I got a call from Kim coming back from work. Moreover, right after the tacos fiesta, we met up with Kim and Angelic and her friend over across the street from where we were, at a Thai Cuisine place. Dinner 2.0 was pretty entertaining as Angelic’s friend was telling us all sort of funny stories while we were eating.
After all the commotions, we headed to my parents house to drop off and pick up some things.
