Happy 4th of July!

there is not a whole lot to do in bakersfield! yesterday after work i took a nice long nap and then took my very first cab ride ever to the mall. i hung out with my friend eric for a few hours just to get away from the train. not that i needed it- but i found 2 tank tops for $4. how on earth could i pass them up! when we got back to the train i met some people from the animal barn at a chinese buffet. delicious! anything but pie car food can put a smile on my face. after that we walked about a mile to a bar called the martini lounge. we drank there until about midnight. it was a lot of fun and we had the whole bar intrigued by us because we all worked for the circus. apparently i have the coolest job in the world. i challenge anyone who says that to come live in a room that is smaller than a full size bed :) today has been great. i had taco bell for lunch and re-organized my room just a minute ago. i am starting to figure out how to live in here. eventually i need some shelving-that will really make my life easier. tonight at the train, the circus is having a bar-b-que with free booze and food. that is my kind of party. tomorrow is opening show. yuck!

well off to enjoy the rest of the day :)
