"sorrow" ..bad religion..

my parents were gone for the weekend so my bro and i cleaned up the house so we could get out...glenn and i went to this indoor gun range he saw from a commercial...we ended up renting a shotgun because neither of us were 21 yet...it felt awkward to hold a shotgun again...yes i say AGAIN because i have previous experience with guns (my older bro is a cop and he took me to an outdoor range once before)...the indoor range was confined and very loud...it took sometime to adjust...just hearing the blasts of other guns makes you jump a little...we stayed long enough to shoot 25 rounds each with the shotgun...by the end of the night our shoulders were a little sore...i definitely want to go back i just need to save money...

"defy you" ..offspring..

UCSD started up again today...but unlike the majority of students, i dont have school today...my schedule is so sweet this quarter, just tue wed thur...that means a 4 day weekend every week...so tomorrow is really my first day...today, though, i was busy running errands but i did manage to stop by school...i bought my parking permit and went to the bookstore to look at my books...the rest of the time was spent putting away the last of the christmas decorations...

"tainted love" ..marilyn manson..

the following will be a short story version of my time after thanksgiving until christmas: right around thanksgiving something always goes wrong...and usually its between me and my father...i dont know how to explain it but it always happens...im not going to bore you with the details but here it goes:

...im studying in my room because finals were approaching for UCSD...my dad is at the computer and he's doing his thing and then he asks me something, so i try and help...he doesnt like the way i helped him and something just snaps within him...he's enraged and then he starts yelling whats been on his mind...i stay calm and let him do his thing, then its my turn...i speak and get out whats on my mind...we eventually find some common ground...so now everything is all good...(lesson to be learned here: communication is the KEY)

now after all this happened i still had finals around the corner and by the time that was over i was mentally and physically spent...BUT my break hadnt begun just yet because i was still studying for a midterm and final for my E&M (physics) class that i was taking at the community college nearby...(i was taking this particular physics class at the jc because i was told by reliable sources that the equivalent class at the university is a nightmare...)

fast forward a week: i get my grades: ochem - C...psych - C...genetics - C...physics - B...YES! sound the trumpets, *trumpets blare* i survived my first quarter at UCSD and i managed to pass all my classes...hallelujah, praise the LORD...thank you, thank you, thank you...yes i was very suprised and happy that all my work paid off for something...but i couldnt kick back and relax all too much...family from san jose, anaheim, and l.a. came down for christmas...lots of food fun and family not a bad way to spend christmas i tell yah, not bad at all...
