So much driiiivinggggg.. But worth it!

More errands and interviews today - and more success! We headed into LA AGAIN from Corona (we're seeeriously racking up the miles this week, WOW) and made it to the agency with about an hour to spare! We went to Starbucks for coffees and headed back to the building with a good 25 minutes early. And by "went back to the building" we mean went to where Google maps had told us to go... Which turned out to be either a Quiznos or a Verizon store..! Uhhh what?!! With out heartbeats a little accelerated, we walked up and down the street, double checked the address, looked back at the confirmation email - ahh! The confirmation email! It had instructions for how to get to the right building! Good news was that we WERE in the right place! We ran around the back of the Verizon store, up some stairs, across a rooftop carpark, and -- there it was!! Phewww! We were still there with a good 10 minutes extra but it was closer than we'd meant, eeek! We took a couple deep breaths and Luce went in for her interview while Han waited...

-- Luce -- 
My interview was going quite well but it was hard to get a read on whether or not the guy was interested in signing me (especially because my cold reading wasn't the most compelling performance). He gave me a bit of a spiel about the agency then asked me if I had any questions. The question that came out of my mouth, somewhat involuntarily, was "umm.. I'm finding it hard to get a good read on how you feel.. Do you like me?" hahaha I don't even really remember what he said back, I don't think he was expecting quite that honest of a response! Anyway, the conversation came around to me asking if he'd be interested in marketing us as twins, or at least sisters, and he said "great idea" and brought Han in!

-- Han and Luce --
Once we were both in there together it got easier and much more fun! Han did a cold reading (which wasn't stellar either but wasn't terrible - definitely a skill to work on!) and she asked a few questions. He really liked the idea of marketing us as sisters and he seemed pretty interested in us! We got a great vibe from him, but we won't know for a few days whether or not he'd like to sign us. He told us he doesn't sign multiple people that fill the same category, so he has to look through his current clients before he can be sure about us. He was a great mix of down-to-business, supportive, and friendly, so we're pretty hopeful that he'll become a solid option for us, but we're also feeling confident because we have some great agencies already interested and a couple more each lined up!
After our interviews we headed over to the new apartment to take some measurements before move-in day! We're just as in love with the place as we were before - we CANNOT WAIT to get in there! Especially now that we've been back in the car to Corona for 2 hours and are looking at another hour at least until we get home, waahh! :( 
(Luce doing her hair haha)
We really can't complain though because things couldn't be going better for us right now and we are SO thankful! That and we won't have to do the drive tomorrow because it's packing/getting ready to move day! Woooo!!!
