Got a very new car, with only 500+ miles
This hotel room is so extra..
First time exploring Anchorage
Guess where am I flying to..
Yes, I'm flying to Adak! Just for fun! Upgraded to first class of course.
Breathtaking view. I love Alaska.
Pork for lunch.
Catching up with some hw..
ADK doesn't have their own TSA, so they fly TSA and police officer from ANC.
Final approach into ADK.
One of the most isolated places in the world. And it's super windy.
Flying right back to ANC
Of course this flight is always empty..
Jerk chicken. It was SPICY!
Back to ANC!
Drove to downtown Anchorage for some seafood. Great food and excellent service.
Planespotting
clams and salmon chowder for brunch
Of course I went to costco to find some local products..
no.. not those two..
It's a miracle the 8 cans of cocktail made their way back to LA without any dent! Great job AS!
ANC lounge
the cocktail was really nice

Taking the 6am LAX-SFO, brutal schedule..
Upgraded to first class
Breakfast in N lounge
Broke the zipper on my laptop bag.. It's been a crazy week with so many dues.
And.. BART had service disruption so I had to ride bus to OAK.
This gives me MCO vibes..
Exit row!
Someone put this under my wiper.. they'd be surprised if I tell them about my commute.. And I find it hilarious they think I'm an airport employee..

It's finally Friday!
LAX-SFO upgraded to first class
Class ended 1pm, rushed to OAK right after class, reached OAK 2pm
Why in such a rush?
So much traffic in LA
I never get tired of watching DTLA in the air
Landed LAX 420pm
That's why! Dinner date
Watching the hood that I need to wear for my commencement, and looking at the southwest snack mix in front of me.. I suddenly have an idea.

April was hectic with all the major assignments/projects due before the end of semester. Luckily I made it through, even though I had to commute every day for the last week of April. With remaining 17 days before graduation, now it's the final stretch, and perfect time to start DIYing my own graduation regalia and taking grad photos. Stay tuned. You will be surprised.
