I do most updating when I'm home I guess. It seemed like I've been in school for a week even though it was only two days. Got to reset myself before finals coming up in two weeks. Anyhow, gotta love them road trips. It was surprising that yesterday, Justin made the offer that he could take me back to Oxnard if his car was alright for it. I was hesitant at first, because it was out of the way being he lives four hours north of San Luis. But, he insisted it was alright, so it was headbanging all the way back to Oxnard with three straight Slipknot albums. Justin always wanted to check out Oxnard to see the places where we talked to him stories about our summers and past histories with each building or place we passed by. We ate lunch at the Pacific View Mall, then we made our way over to Cindy's afterwards. No parents at Cindy's places means we are not forced to eat anything. We had a big lunch already, and Catherine was trying to tempt us to eat something. But, she's not parental at all. Cindy had time to go out, so we headed off to Chow's place and he was busy doing stuff, but took the time to show us his double swords and a wooden one. I'm hoping that he brings the wooden sword up so that one could fire the BB gun that I have in my room and the other would block the pellets with the sword. Willy couldn't go with us to the boba place, so we went, shot some pool then headed to my place where I could finally be dropped off. Justin met my parents and I showed him around my house. Everytime Justin went to each of our houses, the reaction was the same: "You went the wrong way."

Great times. Hoping for even more. Turns out, my mom doesn't want the traditional turkey to be prepared tomorrow. Instead, Thanksgiving for us will be on a Friday. So tomorrow plans are all opened to me.

Worst times. Smallville. WHAT THE FUCK! I wanted to see Kristen Kreuk today, and what do we get?! Mandy Moore! NOOOOOOOOOOO! That wasn't supposed to happen! WB must die! Mandy Moore must die!!!

I'm done, I need a day to myself...

I've been bad updating on this haven't I? In terms of school work and stuff, things suck now there. Got back my midterm today for chem, and pretty much I knew it was going to be bad because I didn't finish two problems of 6. So, it turns out I got 23...of 100. Bad news. Good news is that a lot of other people scored around 20 as well and a good portion 10's. So, it's not all that bad per say. But, there were bastards that one scored 95 and a couple some 80's. So, they put the average to about 60. So, I feel real disappointed right now. But, it's not all of a loss. He gave us the option to re-do the exam as a homework assignment and hopefully it'll make up for the losses suffered on this exam. So, I got my Thursday night cut out for me.

I felt pretty good about the physics exam today all the way up to the last last problem where I needed to solve out the acceleration. Got about half way through discovering the pulley's tension before time ran out. So I never solved it. Hopefully I did enough to get a B on it. It kind of sucked, but I know with that exam it would rebound me from last Friday.

I don't want to go to lab today...

The culmination of bombing exams, Bush in office with everything to gain and nothing to lose, getting calls at impeckable times, I feel disenchanted. It's been quite a bit of a downer from the last post up until now, even though I appear fine on the outside. I had high hopes for this quarter but I think the end result will be pretty medicore or worse. So, I'm preparing for the dissappointment from parents and some other people about this quarter.

I need a break, I really want to talk to someone...hopefully it'll lift up my spirits.

Let's see...how should I turn this post around...think happy thoughts...happy thoughts...how about reflecting on last weekend.

So, sice it was Veteran's day, some people without friday, went home and had a early Thanksgiving trial...those that skipped classes on Friday had a similar tale. Pretty much it just left me here in this appartment all alone for most of the weekend. But, not to worry, remember I got the replacements. They would be Cindy, Justin, and Max. So, it completes the four roomates in the appartment deal. Cindy wanted to do this weekend was to watch the Full Metal Alchemist marathon from episode 4 and then on. Cindy suggested that I would enjoy that series because of some of the science based principle of conservation of matter and equivalent trade and probably what added to it was theories of the soul where I'm learning in Philosophy right now. That class is interesting, but tests suck again...Anyway, in two nights, we were able to get though all the way up to episode 36, which is pretty sad where I know of some people that can watch the entire series straight through in one day. I thought the series is pretty awesome because it deals with goods and bads with science in general. A good recommendation, I wonder if the science department be interested?

Also this weekend, it was a wide world experiment in the kitchen. Cindy and Justin had the plan of each one of us go to the store and get two random ingredients to make in a combo pot or something. So, out ingredients include in the main pot, ground beef and spinach from Cindy, imitation crab meat and water chest nuts from Justin, bananas and Martinelli from me. I was struggling in the store finding something that would be the kicker of the pot seeing how you kind of can put all of Justin and Cindy's stuff together and get something pretty decent and somewhat something you'll see in some restaurant. So, you got to have bananas! Martinelli's for the celebratory drink. Cindy wanted me to cook it, but Jason called to check up on what's been happining. Being the father figure that he was, he wanted to check up to see if I hadn't destroyed the appartment. Cindy put all of the ingredients together and we dug into our made up dinner. Surprisingly, it wasn't all that bad!

I'm losing the train of thought, but not to forget, Saturday was Cisco's birthday, but he was at home. Cindy and Justin came over to bake a cake for him and do celebrations for Sunday, making it somewhat of a surprise for Cisco that we made a cake for him. Sunday, Cisco came back and before we were going to do traditional celebrations, he knew that a cake was made for him. I said nothing. So we were blaming Jason for spilling the information, but then we suspected it was Cindy's fault for giving the full details when he was confused on what was happening to him. to compensate for all this, I told Cisco that there was a really kicker in the cake that's pretty evil. So, he was cautiously ate his cake while I was just saying that I was joking with him. He brought some wine to top it off, so we could make toast all around. Cindy's face turning red is priceless...

That pretty much does it here, from where I will write again? I don't know, but I'll try to add something special to it...for now, pic for thought...
