vacation: it's good for you

i've only been home for a day, but it's already been pretty fun!

classes ended on friday, but instead of going home i decided to stay the night and then leave saturday afternoon. i didn't have class, but i spent a majority of friday night working on my final exam for ME 1800. that's alright though, i ended up with an 86 and was pretty happy to just get it out of the way.

yesterday, i called my parents and told them to come pick me up at 2. i got ready and everything at about 1:45, and i brought all of my stuff downstairs and waited for them to come.

so i waited.
and waited.
and waited some more.

they didn't knock on the door until 3:15. ahhh!

haha it wasn't that big of a deal, but i just thought it was funny.
way to ditch me.

after a relatively short drive, i arrived at home at around 4:15. but about 15 minutes later, charles came to pick me up and we drove down to providence to visit michelle at RISD. it was kinda sad to only be home for 15 minutes and then leave again, but that's alright - i've got all week to spend here! so we drove for about an hour and got lost a few times on the road, even though we had a GPS. it led us off the highway, and then decided to go back on a few minutes later. pointless. and stupid.

on the way down we passed by the providence mall. i saw the huge parking garage and i swear i saw the same thing recently while on a bus. did we pass it on the way to one of our swim meets? it bothered me for a while, cause i couldn't think of when i saw it.

anyway we finally met up with michelle, and then headed to the mall like we always do! after a few rounds of clothes shopping (cause that's what we do) and some delicious johnny rockets, we settled on going to see watchmen. but not in imax, because that was already sold out. bummer. i've gotta say that it was a pretty well done movie. definitely something that i enjoyed watching, but it isn't up there on my list of favorites. but hey, it was still worth my money though. oh, and somewhere along the way we ran into eric ho. twice. and then we drove home at 10:30 but got lost again on the way back so i didn't get home until around midnight...

today i really didn't do much. kinda bummed around the house, cleaned up my room, watched a bit of tv, and then went out to dinner with the family. days like these are nice though, it's always good to just sit back and relax without having any worries.

i'm looking forward to the rest of vacation though! i'm sure there will be more eventful days in the near future :D
