Again, it's been a long while since I have posted. I really need to get into that habit of posting stuff. I mean, I have a freakin journal, right? It's not just there to sit there is it?
So since my last post, I have come back home from my two week vacation in Hawaii. Then I moved out of my apt, then into my new apt. I said goodbye to one of my best friend as she has to be a worldly traveler/student so now she's in Spain for a year. I went on another vacation and now school has officially started for me today.
I'm still having Japan withdrawals. I think it's because I haven't really gotten back into my normal routine yet. I mean, I go on vacation then go back home, move out and then sit at home again, then go on antoher vacation. That doesn't really say normal routine, right? I love my life when I'm at school. I have my routine down and my life here. Don't get me wrong though, home's GREAT too. But it's frustrating when my parents want me home yet they go out. It's like, well I could've done so much more in Davis rather than sitting at home...you know? I still remember Japan so clearly. I remember how to get everywhere and everything. I miss the people that I was with, from Japan and here. But most of all, I think I loved it so much because it was one of the first times that I was really on my own, in a sense. When I moved out from home to go to college, I always knew that home wasn't far and I already had friends up here. But when I left for Japan, I didn't know anyone. I just jumped into it. And I got through it and in my eyes, successfully. But we all knew that I had to come back. That still doesn't mean that I don't miss it. Plus my brother may go to Japan this Nov. on vacation with his friend. I'm so freakin jealous. I really want him to go. I had such a blast over there. So I'm telling him the good places to go. He's asking so many questions but I don't wanna tell him too much. I found some of the best places over there while I was lost. So I want him to do the same. Just walking around and stuff really is great.
Hawaii: Hawaii was fun. Maui was super boring for me because I have been there already numerous times so we just relaxed. I didn't do anything. And like I said, the transition between a fast and slow vacation was too quick, ha ha. But Oahu was more fun because we did more stuff. We tried new places and stuff. Though I liked Hawaii, I longed to come home to see my friends and stuff. I had already been gone for 5 weeks, so I missed them all. I think that Japan was the first place that I've gone to and had the feeling of never wanting to leave. Everywhere else that I have been, I've always gotten a little homesick but Japan....oh Japan....I didn't wanna leave.
I was home for a little over a week before heading back to Davis. So I wanted to go up there to pack the rest of my stuf and plus my friends that I met from my Japan trip were moving out since they had already graduated. So I wanted to hang out with them before I couldn't see them. So I told my parents that I would be doing that. But then I would have to come back for a wedding then head straight back to actually physically move out. But then I hear from my brother that my parents were 'bitchin' about how I left etc. It's like, why didn't you just tell me not to go? Then I wouldn't have. How retarded. They didn't even say anything to me yet they were 'bitchin' to my brother on how i wasn't there. Next time, it's just like tell me not to go. And it's not like I lied to them. I told them that I would be unpacking and hanging out with friends. Okay so whatever. So I go to the wedding and during hte banquet, Jenn calls and says there's a HUGE problem. WTF. I was like OH NO!! She goes to get the U-Haul and calls them on her way confirming our reservation. The dude says it's there, ready to go. So she gets there and it's not there. Um...WHAT?! So they have to give her a small truck and we have to go back the next morning to switch. WTF! So that whole night, we had to move Eric and Jenn's places into my living room since they had to be out in the morning while I had to be out by late afternoon. We were just planning on leaving the stuff in the U-Haul BUT NO! So we go to bed at like 5am then wake up at like 7am to drive back to switch the trucks. Then move our stuff once again...Then I already knew that my parents wanted me home, so I literally unpacked my stuff and went back home. So my room was still a mess. I mean, I figured out where I wanted everything but there were boxes everywhere. So then I went home only to chill there and do nothing. It's kinda like, why did you want me home so badly if all I'm gonna do is sit here? I could've been productive and at my apartment unpacking stuff...But whatever, I guess I'm over it. I get that I wasn't home like all summer but at the same time, I have to do stuff also. I mean, my mom always says she likes it when I'm home because it's always more lively. Usually it's just her and my dad + my grandma who drives them insane so I guess I'm a nice break. However, I do have my own stuff to do. I think that it's just because they never did what I'm doing. They got married and lived together end story. But I still love them regardless, I don't care if I sound girly or whatever because if you call me that, then you obviously don't love your parents. Just because I'm a dude doesn't mean that I can't say that I love my parents. If you think otherwise, then whatever...I don't care, that's your perogative to think that way.
After I got home from 'unpacking', I just chilled for like a week then went on vacation again. I know....I'm hella lucky. I know I am. So I left for Palm Desert and had a blast. Though it was far, I went to Universal Studios, down the Hollywood 'strip', and San Diego Wild Animal Park. Universal was cool. It was a nice change from the usual Disneyland. It kinda ruined the 'movie' experience for me though because they show you how they do special effects and stuff. And Jenn was so excited because we got to see the 'real' Wisteria Lane. I have to say now that I am into Desperate Housewives. I cannot believe I just said that but you know, it's true. It's a pretty good show. And Eva Longoria is HOT.
After this trip, I went home then left for Davis. Now I'm unpacking and stuff. But I have to go home this weekend to switch cars. My parents are currently giving me a headache. I hella did not wanna go home because I'm in this rut and I think that I just really need to get back into my regular life in Davis. I have been looking forward to this for a long time now. I am happy now with all my roommates, a feeling that I haven't felt in about 1.8 years. (I know it sounds like a weird number but for those in the real know, they know that this number is actually pretty correct)...
School started today. It was an intro to psych class. There were so many freshmen that it's not even funny. I don't mind a class with lots of freshmen, the only problem is that the Professor knows it so they always go HELLA slow. Damn.....but we've all been there. It's just that these people have made it to college. They are relatively smart but still new. So just tell them and they should follow. Unfortunately, they don't do that, which is why it always takes so long.
I have a fat headache now. So I'm gonna take some advil and finish unpacking...
japan,
parents,
