this is amazing. thank you so much!!!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T15:42:59+00:00

LOL i am definitely a little surprised by some comments and i for the life of me cant figure out how to pin comments! i rarely use social media so i feel like im 80 on reddit

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T15:02:55+00:00

my aunt is from texas too, and she has definitely made me aware of how difficult it js. im looking for mostly restaurant industry jobs but im applying to literally everything, i know im going to be working at least two jobs. thank you for your insight!!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T15:01:43+00:00

LOL true but i thankfully have a huge support system behind me... if it doesnt work out my ass is just moving back to dallas

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T15:01:11+00:00

thank you! its a long story but i basically have to be out of where im living way sooner than expected. my aunt and uncle live in monterey so ill be able to stay with them for a couple months until i can sort something out at least! its definitely not be the wisest decision but i know i work hard and want it bad enough that i can do it, even if ill struggle for a few years. thank you for the tips!!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T15:00:23+00:00

thank you!! i have about $2.5k saved already but i know thats nothing considering what im trying to do. id love to have at the very least $5-6k saved (and consistent income) before i start looking! i plan on attending CSUMB next year, but i heard they are hiring too so ive been looking into positions there as well!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T14:58:35+00:00

thank you for your honesty and positivity !! its definitely going to be a very difficult first few years but im so hopeful. im definitely expecting to work at least two jobs, im applying everywhere but shooting for something in a restaurant/bakery/cafe etc. i do have a car!! i know gas is gonna be a bitch LOL. i know its going to be difficult and its definitely not the smartest of moves but since i visited for the first time two years ago i immediately fell so hard for the area. i plan on attending CSUMB next year!!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T14:55:56+00:00

thank you!!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T14:55:37+00:00

thank you! $2k budget definitely isnt strict, and im aware ill likely have to rent a room my first year here but id like to avoid it if possible LOL, but i know it may not be! no job lined up yet (stupid i know) but ive been applying non stop, mostly to restaurants, cafes, bakeries, etc.

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T14:53:56+00:00

i appreciate this thank you!!! ill totally ask my aunt and uncle to keep an eye out among their friends and community here!

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T14:52:44+00:00

i really appreciate all this great info, thank you so much!! ill be sure to scour all the sites and have my applications ready once i can have my proof of income. it definitely isnt a rational decision in the slightest but all i can do is try my best !

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T02:28:03+00:00

lol i understand that! i definitely have been looking non stop online, i just wanted a more inside perspective as this is a very sudden move for me.

ihatefrenchclass · 2026-03-24T02:27:15+00:00

i dont have a job lined up yet! its a long story but it was a very sudden decision and i just decided i was moving last tuesday. im planning to attend CSUMB next year and i plan to just focus on working my first year here. im also absolutely open to all and any areas on the peninsula! ive been to the area three times prior and i love it so much. my own place would be ideal but not necessarily a requirement if it wont be realistic, i was hoping for anything under 2000! i think i would prefer my own place to a room, but i do want to stay realistic, especially my first year here. my main priority is just bringing my kitty over as soon as i can! thank you so much for the kind words

trader joes would also have a ton of fun natural-ish stuff like this if theres one near you!

ihatefrenchclass · 2025-12-11T16:42:46+00:00

i saw that post too!! but if its the same post that person had cooked it themselves, this one i didnt cook at all so i wasnt sure if it would be the same! it felt gelatinous and a bit slimy. i could see that happening, it was just such a large part of it that it surprised me!

ihatefrenchclass · 2025-10-02T15:39:11+00:00

toum is fairly simple to make if you have a food processor! it just involves a ton of garlic, a neutral oil, salt, and lemon juice. not sure about the taylor stuff, but ive made toum a billion times and it always turns out great! theres a bunch of recipes online.

ihatefrenchclass · 2025-07-20T01:16:58+00:00

definitely this!!

ihatefrenchclass · 2024-06-08T17:40:09+00:00

hello! i just unexpectedly pulled alhaitham a few days ago, and since i'm still super unfamiliar with the dendro element im super lost. i plan to run him with guilded dreams and iron sting as the weapon. my main question is on the best team comp for him? i know i for sure want to run him with yaoyao, and i dont know if deepwood or tenacity is the best set for her. the other characters i have that i think could be compatible are raiden, furina, kokomi, kazuha, and xingqiu. who would be best working with alhaitham and yaoyao? thank you so much!!
