This year has been going by somewhat smoothly. Except for the past few days. I’m not sure what has been going through my head but I don’t like it. I’ve become somewhat needy to other people and I don’t like that at all. But becoming otherwise again s difficult to achieve. When you get accustomed to something, its hard to readapt. But I’m surviving. Hopefully what I dread most won’t occur.

PS. I was talking about Lipovox with my friend the other, what do you think about it?

It seems like every entry recently I’ve written is about my new apartment. I guess it has been occupying my mind a lot. I’d like for it to become the place I go to when I’m bored one day, I’d like to be 100% comfortable in my home. I have a couple of compliments about my room though. My bathroom didn’t come with a bathroom mirror sucks completely sucks, but luckily i went to buy a full length one a while back. They said they would get me a new one soon, I hope they keep their word. My faucet is kind of weak, I need one of those Delta faucets. Haha. Also my shower rod has been acting up.

But what can I say, this place can’t be perfect!

I haven’t been able to sleep as much as I want to. My class schedule is insane this semester; people who know me will be surprised to see me up at 7am everyday. Yeah, it sucks, but I’m getting used to it. I mean, I have to wake up right? I haven’t purposely skipped classes yet and I’m proud! I thought I was going to have to stop by a Starbucks coffee place before I get into class every morning but I’ve been staying up.

But it’s only been two weeks, I hope I don’t get lazier by the day; which is highly possible.

Having my own kitchen it was good thing. Although sharing with 3 other people with supplies and whatnot, it feels good cooking in your own kitchen. I haven’t cooked anything yet because I’m still missing a lot of ingreidents to cook with. And it also takes me a while to adjust to new surroundings. I can’t wait until I cook my first meal at the apartment! I’ve been trying to look for some good recipes online and haven’t been really successful but I don’t think I’ve been looking hard enough.

I’m still trying to get situated in my apartment. I like it a lot. As I mentioned in the post before this, I want to get a rain jacket, a nice one. I either want a red or yellow one. I’m going to head to Dick’s Sporting Goods tomorrow to try to find a decent one. Too bad my best friend doesn’t work there anymore, no more discounts! Haha, it’s okay though, I’ll live. My friend has been looking for some Callaway golf clubs to buy for her dad so I’ll check that out for her as well when I’m there.

I wish I had an unlimited amount of shoes in my closet so that every outfit I won had it’s own pair. One day I’ll happen. During the winter, I buy a lot of different wintery shoes such as boots and in the summer I buy more flip flips that I can count. I’m still looking for a few more to buy by the way. From Merrell shoes to Old Navy flip flops, I will have them all one day! You can never have too many shoes !

I’m really excited to go see Batman tonight! I hope plans to work out tonight, but I’m not keeping my hopes up though just in case!

Michael’s dad left for the rigs a few days ago. It’s interesting hearing him talk about all the different stuff and people he deals with and what he has to do. It seems like his job requires a lot of strength and will. I’m not sure if I would be able to do that. He mentioned he had to get certain types of clothes so that he could handle rough conditions and whatnot. He has a friend in the police department and he told him about getting 5.11 Tactical Pants. They all for all-purpose pants and keeps people go through rough conditions and inclement weather. I thought that was pretty cool. I also think that his dad got a pair of those or maybe a few!

Sometimes you take for granted the family you have near you. For about a year or so now, I’ve been content with the life I’ve lived I guess. Coming down here to visit his family made me realized how happy family makes you. I miss having so many relatives that I couldn’t even count. I miss the huge family dinners we all used to have before the fights and grudges each family holds.
I miss California and Vietnam a lot. ?

This house is pretty nice. I like it a lot. Although the two regular rooms are rather small, the view in the backyard is amazing. There’s a large lake with catfish in it and it just looks awesome. That reminds me, I want to take a picture of it before we leave. Speaking of the house, the living room is really big, big enough for a home theater system. There could be home theater lighting in the room which would make the place awesome. They just moved in so they haven’t done all that yet.

There was a good point mentioned yesterday while he was getting his eye exam. His uncle asked why he didn’t have a watch because he wanted to get him sone of those luxury watches on at the outlet. Michael said he didn’t need one because he had a cell phone. He said well when you’re working you can’t just take out your phone. And when you’re in a business meeting making a speech, you can’t take you phone out to look at the time. That’s what you have your watch for! I think that’s a really good point. I think I’ll start wearing my watches again soon when I get back home.
