What a nice week. For Christmas Eve, we attended a great party at my cousin's house in Queens, NY. There was so much food (good home cooked Dominican food) and we danced merengue for most of the night. The party went on past midnite and then we decided to come back to NJ. My wife and I are not morning people and we knew we would not be able to ( Read more... )

It's been a great couple of days. Saturday morning, my wife finally arrived but on a 3am flight after several delays..I went to Philly airport to pick her up with my father in law ( Read more... )

Man I knew today was going to be a long one..It all started with me not being able to sleep last nite (some of you may have gotten comments around 5 or 6 am)...I think it all began when I came in hungry and ate a coupleof pieces of fudge (nice...) After that, I got thirsty because it's so freaking hot in here (my relatives like to keep their house ( Read more... )

I finally got out of the house...for the first time since Sunday...but I still didin't see sunlight because it was nighttime by the time I went out ( Read more... )

Nothing special about today...At least it's not raining or super cold. I couldn't sleep last nite and ended up staying up until 3am, so I this morning I didin't wake up until 11am. One more day before my wife gets here and we can do stuff...can't wait. I think we're going to see LOTR or Paycheck during the break if we have any time left. I am ( Read more... )

I got an early Christmas present this morning. I woke up and went through my daily online routine (check journals, all e-mail accounts, etc.). The last account I checked was my account at school and there it was...I finished my first semester of graduate school with straight As. I still can't believe it. I even got an A+ in my instructional ( Read more... )

I am bored out of my mind. I am very low on cash and I have no way to get around, so I am stuck here with my inlaws. Fortunately, I have a computer with broadband in the room I am staying in, but there's only so much surfing you can do in one day before you get really tired (your eyes start spinning). Today, I went to an activity party for the ( Read more... )

I slept until noon today...winter break is great. After a quick breakfast, I proceeded to read some of the news, including some of thre reports about Saddam Hussein's capture this past weekend...Even though I was a political science major in college, I really don't keep up with what's going on in world affairs as much as I should...I have to much ( Read more... )

So I am back in NJ for the next three weeks of winter break. I came up today with my daughter (who was just great on the flight). My wife will be joining us next week because she had to work. We'll all be staying with the inlaws. It's raining here..and it's cold. Well it's in the mid 40's so it's warm for here, but when you're used to 70s it's ( Read more... )
