Weekend of family bonding.
Having my cousin Mike come and visit us this weekend was really cool. We did the usual OC things. Gave him a tour of the beaches, Dave and Busters (and learn how strange the people are here), paintball (which was a bit of a let down, I have to say-- Hollywood Sports Park wasn't very good), and the obligiatory talking until 2AM about everything (and nothing at the same time)
And of course, he shared his pictures from when he was in Europe for 4 months for his semester abroad. They went all over the Eastern part of Europe, as he was studying in Prague. I'll put some of those somewhere on the internet. So be on the lookout. All I'm going to say is that it seemed like he had a better time than I did when I went, and I had a pretty good time.
The cost? Just give up your life for a weekend. It wasn't that bad, but parents yelling at your for having your college interview planned 3 weeks ago is not a reason to get upset about plans being ruined because they were made the night before. Oh yea, I also had my interiew in Arcadia for Reed. That went really well. I'm feeling good about getting into there, and it seems like that's where I'll be going if I get in. But no more about college for awhile... its all about the waiting game for now.
Oh and he gave me like 3 shiny new CD's. Good stuff.
