School

I leave Friday. Ugh. Kuya and I were sitting on the couch today and he said, "Stay here. Stay here and get fat with me." Haha. It's so true! I gain weight when I come back home because I have a car, and I eat a lot of really good food. When he was living in SF, he was fit and healthy. But now that he has a full-time job making drugs (he's a pharmacist), he eats well, commutes a lot, and has little time for working out.

So, looking back, I think I did okay with my "Christmas vacation resolutions", if you will. Here's what I put up last month to do over the break:

-read (at least 4 books): I read Prince Caspian and two-thirds of 1984.
-finish Euro film: Uhhh.
-film films (L. and I have this music video idea): filmed as much as time allowed and then ran out of ideas. Boo.
-not spend an obscene amount of time on internet: wasn't possible.
-do Oasis (an online Library requirement for school): started that.
-figure out what you're going to do this summer: Uhhh...
-study French and do as many French things as I can: studied a bit...
-meet-up with friends: met up with most of them

I couldn't do a lot of this obviously. Mostly because I opted to hang out with my brother or my Dad than do all this stuff that can be done in SF. When I wrote these resolutions, I was thinking about all the awesome down time that I'll have when I'm at home and forgot the the whole reason why I was home. To be with the fam. To see friends I haven't seen for months. To get a little rest before the semestre. Not to do stuff that I can do anywhere else. Lesson learned.

weird habits I've developed while here:
1. doing math in my head with random numbers I see (like the time, my lotto numbers, license plates, etc.)
2. doing French in my head
3. sleeping with my ninja sword next to me (in case, you know, I have to defend myself from a burglar)

stuff that I have to do before I leave:
1. get a blood test and contacts
2. mail in W-2 (woo-hoo!)
3. laundry and pack up

little things that I'll miss the most:
1. hearing my Mom laugh, my Dad laugh or both of them laughing together
2. random outings with Kuya
3. Grandma commenting on my clothing and specifically my ears and their lack of earrings
4. going to the 99 Ranch with Mom
5. dinnertime
6. the so cal sunshine
