Turkey Day Break

Well, I'm back!

I've been neglecting so many things since I last wrote and during Thanksgiving break. I told my dad that I couldn't go to his place for Thanksgiving because I had so much stuff to do... which was true. If I want to graduate in December, I have to get my second grade options in, paying off my u-bill, and pass my current classes, class discussions -- art book projects, some Italian show and tell thing. I also work, granted it's only 15 hours... a little more during Thanksgiving break, but still... it's work.

Well, the idea was to get everything in... but something happened to my plan.

I had all intentions of doing all that stuff... really I did... but after going to school for four months without a break and nonstop homework, I just wanted to relax. Maybe that's another reason for not driving two hours to and from my dad's. I mean... I wanted to relax and REALLY relax. I just felt like being completely sedentary that whole week... but even that wasn't possible.

I know, I know, "responsible people don't do what they want, but what they have to do..."... well... I was responsible for about three days.

My brother came home on Tuesday and all my school plans went down the drain. True, he practically lived downstairs in his room occasionally coming upstairs to fill his face with food, or borrow some video games to play in the 'cube downstairs, but he was still there and for some reason I went from being OK with doing work during Thanksgiving break to "Oh hell no, it's my break and I'm gonna f*cking enjoy it!"

I had to work Thanksgiving day... bummer. I had to buy sparkling grape juice before going home when I got off work... took me 30 freaking minutes to find some stupid wine bottles filled with grape juice. I mean, you'd think they're in the back with the booze... but they're not!

It never even occurred to me, until circling the grocery, soda, and wine aisles, to check the Christmas Shop aisles and there they were. Sitting on an end cap... all one flavor, but I didn't care much. I spent half an hour looking for them. Honestly Wal-Mart... why put them in with Christmas wrapping paper and all that crap? Even though it's all festive, I say the fake wine should be either with the juice or real wine... I'd make a good department manager if I do say so myself... except for when people come to me with their problems about so and so assistant manager. Solve the shit on your own!

We went to see Megamind on Friday... I loved it! Baby and kid Megamind were so cute!

I had to work on Saturday... but after that, I brought the PS3 from my room into the living room since the TV there is much bigger and I hurt my eyes squinting to try and read the text on my TV. I wanted to play Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks... but curse Sony and their non PS2 compatible PS3s. Lets see... I played LittleBIGPlanet instead the rest of break. Awesome game... still haven't finished it yet. I'm on Grandmaster Sensei's last level... I get to duke it out with the oni!

Well... break wasn't as productive as I wanted... but it was enjoyable!
