oh. my. goodness. Xanga looks so hi-tech and stuff.... I feel disoriented. Though I guess it serves me right for not posting for so long. Uh, i actually forgot to post about mid-winter break, didn't i? It was fun! I left Friday after school straight for the airport. My parents put me in the loner seat, though. >_< But the guys sitting next to me were interesting. One just got an appendectomy. They were both Hope students, looking for a seminary graduate school (did you know that Hope pays for these trips? one per year!) I made a bunch of origami balls, like I always do on plane rides. I gave 2 to the lady behind me and one to the Hope guy. i thought i'd remember his name... Then in Cali, we stayed with the Chan family for a night. We went to Panera (like in the old days) and looked around the neighborhood, noting which parts were normal and which were burned by the forest fire. They had to evacuate for that, y'kno? Then the CRUISE!!!! Golden Princess going to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. I sorta got to use my Spanish skillllzzz. They had good art, a fun market place, cheap hammocks and a "lovers" and "divorce" beach. fun. =) The ship was suh-weet. The architecture and floorplans felt older, but the service was good, the head waiter guy was fun, but kept giving me extra helpings of pasta. >_< i was trying to save space for the seafood, but i felt rude if I didn't eat the pasta... I ate a lot. I only worked out once. They have really fun machines! But they're only fun when you have to read the instructions. I got seasick on the last day. In all my travel experience, I had never gotten seasick on a cruise ship. I was sad. And i was procrastinating on AP Spanish hw. Perfect. oh!! the ship had awesome tea. Bigelow brand Darjeeling tea. Very good. You can use it for milk tea. And when we returned to land, we stayed with elder Mo-Fung. We also visited Uncle Silas. Auntie Helen gave us home-grown guavas and oranges. yum ^_^ i'd never had guava before. fun, fun, sun, fun, fun.... and then it was uber late Sunday night california time. So i ended up getting 1 hour of sleep on the plane, arrived in DTW at 5:00am ish and went to school. =_= Spring break is boring. |
