Thanksgiving Break
We had a fantastic 9 day break
for Thanksgiving… amazing.
Friday (18th) - Did the whole class thing then at night went out with Brian for awhile, and we went to the theatre and saw JARHEAD, so good. I enjoyed it thoroughly, then we picked up Spalding and Andrew and went back to IC to drink around with Christine and Andrew. It was a good time - beer pong, kings, video games, etc. etc.
Saturday (19th) - Hung around all day and had lunch with Brian, then he had to work so I played games / watched TV and did nothing and around 11pm just went over and we watched Babylon 5 and went to bed.
Sunday (20th) - Slept forever and then got up and went to pick up Rachel and David and went to the theatre to see Harry Potter 4. Fantastic, it was the best movie - but compared to the book was nothing. I enjoyed anyway, we met up with Eric and Becca for the movie too, then afterwards Brian and I dropped off Rachel, David, and Eric and then played DDR for like 5 hours.
Monday (21st) - Brian and I slept late then got up and ate and did the video game thing, pretty lazy day.
Tuesday (22nd) - Games and Movies again, nothing special. I had work at 430, came back to my apartment to get brian and we hung around for awhile then went to recycle cans/shit at 10pm then went and got dinner and to Rachels. They played Smash Brothers for a while and I watched then Spalding, Brian and I went to my apartment and played video games and jeopardy! And hung around. Good times.
Wednesday (23rd) - Brian and I slept until… 4…ish. J then we made breakfast at 5ish, and I left for Albany around 615. I got to Albany around 830 (fucking amazing time right there)… and my parents and brother got there around 845. We all hung around and watched TV, ordered pizza, talked, caught up for awhile. Then bed.
Thursday (24th) - I was very sick all day, which sucks, so I didn’t do or eat much. I felt crappy, but decided to drive back to Ithaca anyways (even in the snow), BAD IDEA. The roads were unplowed and very crappy, I drove 20 on the highway, passing people still, and still felt unsafe at that speed. So great idea to add to the horrid day already, got back to IC, and nobody was there, and everyone else was at Spaldings/Risley, and I ended up spending the night alone in the apartment… sad really. Worst thanksgiving ever, I don’t know what else to say, maybe in a future friends only entry I’ll elaborate.
Friday (25th) - Once Brian woke up we went to Peace for dinner… yum. On the way home we stopped at the “book sale” store and then went back to my apartment and played Super Mario Bros on Super Nintendo. BEST GAME OF MARIO EVER! That escalated, and we played more, it was the best. Ordered pizza and then watched Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and went to bed.
Saturday (26th) - Awoke and hung around until we had to pick up Spalding for RENT!!!! Fucking Amazing movie…. I loved it! I cried for like 30 minutes of the movie at the end, so sad. Brian made fun of me… wanker. Then the three of us went into the mall! Then we went back to my apartment so I could shower while they played MAGIC. Then Christine and Andrew came back and we all played ‘ruit and Kings. Brandon came eventually too. It was a lot of fun, except for the throwing up part. We all hit the bedrooms around 2am, and I think we didn’t really fall asleep until almost 5… ouch.
Sunday (27th) - Woke up and hung around the apartment until 1ish and then Brian Spaldo and I went to Benchwarmers and then we went back to the “book sale” store so I could actually buy something. Good times! We brought Spalding home and Brian and I hung out for a little while at his apartment then I left to catch up on some work… which means I played video games.
Ugh, now back to reality, school - work - people. I wish every week was lik last week. Do whatever I want whenever I want, play games an see lots of movies, spend lots of time with friends, Brian... but nope, not possible. Too ideal of a though. Now back to genetics papers, Taylor series, and multicultural education. I feel like I've lost a lot this year when it comes to education and school but I feel like socially I've gained so much. Is this an acceptable exchange? I can't decide. I would not trade the events of this school year thus far for anything in the world, but I wish I cared more... or at all... about school, grades, work, and how well I do at it all. Instead I just want to please friends, spend time laughing- not studying, and do fun stuff.
When did it all change? The things that used to please me so much don't please me at all anymore. The things that are healthy for me, I dont like...but the things that are unhealthy - are my favorite things to do. Right now my favorite activity (or 2nd favorite) is simultaneously the most dangerous thing I do. What happened? I used to be so... good.
