Getty AND the beach!

End of the semester. Which means 4W crunch time!
Yesterday I was fortunate enough to go with a group of about 40 people to the Getty! It was so amazing. We split in half, and one group went with one professor, and the other group went with the president. My group went with professor Mac. Unfortunately, we couldn't hear him at all! So, I was just looking around the room at all the paintings. Next time I looked up, the group had vanished, and it was just me, Ev, and Stalin. So the three of us ditched the rest of Dr. Mac. and Pres. Halvorson- and slowly walked through all the paintings. It was so amazing, and I definitely enjoyed the whole day. After lunch, we basically ran through two more buildings and the gardens, because we wanted to see it all.
On the way back, squished into a 15 passenger van, we decided nothing would be better than hitting the beach. We came back to school for a quick 15 minutes, picked up another person, and headed out again. We were nearly out of gas, so we stopped before heading to In-N-Out for dinner. Unfortunately Stalin forgot the keys to unlock the gas tank, so we ended up sitting in the back of the car, while both guys tried everything- including breaking- the stopper. Finally we went to a mechanic and they were able to lift it out with pliers :) We finally made our way to dinner and then the beach- after what felt like 50 billion u-turns. But it was a great night, and a great day. No homework was completed, it was just an all-around relaxing day to end a super stressful week!
