It’s Christmas time! A new year is not far away. For the time being, I am on winter break, and at home until the new quarter starts.
Somehow, being home seems different this year. It is restless. Irritating. When I am at home I feel like I am always on the defensive with my mom and my brothers. Not that I don’t enjoy being home. It is a bit nicer than being in Irvine, but it’s the little things. We are all always competing with one another. Who has it worse, who has more to do, who has to do what. I feel like I have to constantly defend myself with my brothers, in that I can’t just sit, and chat, and not have some stupid insult be thrown out jokingly.
It’s tiring.
This break I guess I have alot going on. The first three days back was more relaxing… Took Ace out for walks, met up with some friends for food, and saw Wicked with Jie Jie for her very, very late 21st Birthday gift. Today my brother came home from Boston. Tomorrow I’m seeing Wicked for a fourth time, which I am excited for. Wednesday (Christmas Eve) is dinner with my grandma and father. Thursday (Christmas) I think we are going to go watch Avatar and eat at Tong Kee, a small chinese restaurant on Gellert. Friday, who knows what’s going on. Saturday, Taking Ace out to Font Funston again, and maybe to get his shots. Sunday, no plans I think. Monday we are going to SJ to see the Star Trek Exhibition (my 3rd time). Tuesday again, my brother flies back to Boston.
Things I need to do this break though include creating a new Docent Council flyer for OCMA, work on a few drawings, read a couple books, clean and reorganize my room…
Not much of a break I guess. I think I’ll start the first day of the new year driving back down.
This is making me depressed, so I think I’ll stop there.
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year… if you celebrate it.
