The last week of vacation was a bit weird for me. I was pretty stressed, although I calmed down by the end of the week. However, I did get to do a few fun things over the course of the week. I saw my sister and a few of her friends from the summer's BADA program, I met one of my school friends for coffee, and I stayed over at another friend's house. I also had dinner with my family and an old friend of Chrissie's.
I'm sure that many of you have heard about (and experienced) the California storms. Since I'm near the coast, I've been more affected than many. The canyons which provide access to the San Fernando Valley have been closed, and even the open roads have been troublesome.
Unsurprisingly, school was cancelled on Monday due to the weather and road closures. A friend and I decided to take advantage of the day off by going to the movies and having dinner, which was a lot of fun.
I don't have any classes on Tuesday, so I haven't really started school yet. Hopefully I'll be able to get in the swing of things by tomorrow.

Is it 2005 Yet?
I find it hard to believe that this decade is nearly halfway over, but I suppose there's no avoiding the fact.
Christmas was fun. Chrissie and I both received our share of presents, and even got iPods as one of our two 'Santa gifts.' After the family finished opening presents, we hosted Christmas dinner for my mom's side of the family. I spent most of my time looking after my young cousins, so I was a bit tired at the end, but I had a good time. After everyone had left, my parents, Chrissie, and I stayed up to watch the broadcast of The Sound of Music.
I spent New Year's Eve at a party hosted by Reena and her parents. It was low-key, but fun; we basically hung out, ate, and chatted until midnight.
Aside from that, I haven't been doing all that much recently. I was able to tidy up my room and the rest of the apartment, which is boring but necessary. I've also uploaded some of my CD collection to my new iPod, so I can actually get some use out of it.
This afternoon, I went to a nearby state park in an attempt to get out a little, but that backfired when my car got stuck in the mud. I spent the entire time talking to a Triple A representative on a callbox with bad reception (my cell phone isn't working right now) and waiting for a tow truck to come. By the time that the problem was solved, it had started to rain, so I ended up going home immediately.
