| I went home to visit my family for the weekend and it was filled with drama but also moments where it's like "ah, it's great to be home."
I brought my cat home. My 5th uncle and aunt came to visit, bringing my sister Amy home in the process. Cheryl had already gone home on Tuesday, but was nowhere to be found, always "out with friends."
So for a few days, I experienced total family immersion. Everywhere I went, I was with family. If it wasn't over thanksgiving dinner at my uncle's restaurant with everybody, it was watching a movie with just the cousins, or going shopping for 7 hours with Amy, or just alone time with Bebe. Hey that counts!
And when it wasn't all happily eating food, the adults would be making fun of my cat (horrible people), or Amy and I lecturing our little sis Cheryl, even yelling at my mom when she suddenly told me I had to take Cheryl back to school "on my way" home. -.- Despite the drama, I had a really good weekend overall, because it's only a few times a year that I really get to spend time with these people, who have been such a big part of my life. And for that I am thankful.
And for all the radio stations playing Christmas music and all those people who already had Chrismas decorations up: HAVE SOME RESPECT FOR THANKSGIVING!
P.S. When did Xanga become so f-ing confusing?? All I want to do is update my blog. Why does it have to be so difficult?? There's a reason why people stopped coming back. K.I.S.S.

| I've been working for 8 1/2 months! It's kinda cool that I'm so used to it now. I enjoy having a routine work schedule where I can get enough sleep, have time to do stuff that I want to do, and earn money for what I do. It's great!
I'm definitely growing up fast. Not sure if I will be going to grad school later on or moving back to the bay. But for now, I'm happy where I am.
I'm meeting new people, discovering more and more about this area, and I'm doing something new everyday. I also visit my family and friends once in a while, but I have my own life here in Sac, and I love it.
Ok, just a lil update on me. :)

| Yep. So in a few more days, I should be moving out. This time it's not
for college where everything was paid for by scholarships, where
everyone around you are students of your similar age, where you go to
class everyday and sit there and take notes, where you can do whatever
you want whenever you want.
Nope. This time I'm moving out to get a job, earn my own money to pay
my own bills. I'll be sitting in a 9-5 job. (more like 8-4) And I won't
be able to do whatever I want whenever I want during that time. I'll
try to be independent and only use as much money as I can make. And
I'll pay off my debts to my parents, eventually. I will still be under
a lot of their things though. Like life insurance, car stuff, phone.
Eh. I will eventually save up.
Time's are a'changin!
Oh by the way, I went to Europe for 3 weeks, but now I'm back. Woo!

| Today is graduation! It's been so bittersweet. I can't believe I'm done! It's going to be a long unforgettable day...

| For all of you who don't know, I'm going to China in one week for my
architecture studio class. I'm going to be gone for 9 days! Yeah, and
I'm missing class. That's a good and a bad thing. Mostly bad. But the
China part is going to be super exciting! Just thought I'd share some
of my more exciting adventures with you all. :)
