It is just one of those days… barkbarkbark. I need a weekend now.
Ugh, being sick is never good. I miss the days in elementary school when I could just skip school and postpone everything. Some days I used to try and get sick on purpose so I wouldn’t have to write a paper. Now that I look back at it… a two page book report is nothing.
Even though I am sick, I still have to push on through and get my homework done. I hope once my brain is back to 100% I can figure out this homework. For now I will get some rest and make the most of being back home for a day. Tomorrow I have to go into best study mode.
Sometimes you wonder, what if I was there at that point in time? What if that was me? What if I went there?
You can spend a lot of your time wondering about what could have been in some hypothetical situation, but when you think like that, you are only living in a dream. Sometimes I still have these moments, but I realized… If I did not go through what I did, if I wasn’t in the places I was, I would be a different person. I am happy with how I am. Even thought there are some qualities I do not like, those are things I should accept. Or if they are bad enough, I should make an effort to change them.
I might always get the girl, but you learn from those experiences. When I do get someone, I can cherish her. The food I cook might turn out how I want it to, but when I do get it right, it is amazing.
The past is something to reflect on, not something that you can alter. The best way is to look forward and make it into a past you won’t regret.
The new quarter started and I feel a little out of place. It is the first week though so everything is a little slow. I feel as if I don’t need to study but… I know something is going to kick me in the ass eventually. I have practically 4 days off since Monday is a holiday. I just need to stay on track. I will try out my new pressure cooker, work on my resume and do all my reading. I think it is doable.
HK style french toast :)
my stomach is drooling. D=
I really want a tablet, smart phone, or itouch/android mp3 player. At first I wanted it for garage band/fruity loops so I can make music on the go, but in reality, I just want to be able to watch youtube videos when I need to go to the bathroom.
100 Bucks for a pressure cooker. So tempting… it will cut my ramen cooking time down by 6 hours… I will end up getting one eventually. The question is now or later…
Pretty Awesome. One day I will make some rooms in my house like this. It will just take a long time to plan.
Slowly trying to be more productive. I moved back to Davis even though I still had another week of break. It is some what productive I guess. I started cooking again, which is good so I won’t be rusty when school starts.
It is the New Years. I hope for the usual things. These things won’t come easy though. I have to put the effort in and after thinking about last year, I had no regrets for 2011. Lets hope for the best in 2012.
So I got my parents Netflix a few months ago. My dad however was initially stubborn. He bought Showtime through our TV service provider, which is perfectly fine, it is his money. He just mentioned that it was lame because he saw pretty much every movie that was on there because they cycle through it. He said he watched the twilight series a few times but never got to finish it all the way through because he either started in the middle of it, or went to sleep before it ended.
So my solution was Netflix. I showed my mom Ip Man because who doesn’t love a good martial arts movie. My dad walked in and I was showing him how to use it, but I think new technology scares him. He told us he was going to trim the trees, but it was 6 pm. It was already dark outside and has been doing yard work all day. He didn’t want to know that his Showtime was obsolete.
Eventually he got used to it and was willing to learn. Now he watches a few movies everyday, I think TV shows on it confuses him, or he doesn’t know how to navigate the episodes. Every once and a while I look through the Recently Watched link on the account to make sure that they are still using it, otherwise I will cancel it. Looking through the list is kinda like parents looking through a teenager’s internet history. When I see titles of movies, I feel like I caught someone… but they’re adults. They’re my parents, they can watch whatever they want. It is just weird when my dad is watching some chick drama about housewives.
But I am glad that they enjoy it. They only watch the really old movies, I can tell because everyone sounds like people in a early 90’s cereal commercial… well any commercial from that era.
