Here I am on the 6th day of winter break. I tried to have fun this break. Really I did. That's what break is all about, right? Defrag from school, relax, hang out with your friends, not have to take tests or go to any school whatsoever. Damn, what a waste of valuable time I could've spent sleeping.......
Day 0.5 (Feb 14, 6:30pm): Well, I went to a dance that was "Dance For Peace" up @ the YWCA in Palo Alto. It was cool! We had a big turnout, I made a sign, I watched a door....(sounds like BayCon, Don't it? Me and my watching doors.....definatly sounds like BayCon!) I had sugar, I had fun! It was cool!!! I even got caffeene!!! I didn't get home until around 11 though.
Day 1 (Feb 15): Anti-war protest march. That was cool!!! I assembled with a few of my friends at the 11am assembly, thinking that I was the only student from Lincoln there, until I ran into 10 other people who were also from school. Around 12:48 or so, I was leading several chants that were towards the rear of the marching crowd, making a damn fine show of the peace that we seek. When we got to the plaza around 1pm, I ran into yet another person from school, totalling 11 of us there. (There were 2,500 total marchers from what I heard, but only 11 from my school.) Then, I had to take the bus home during the Congressperson's speech. I thought she was a Republican & would side with the President (I'm a hardcore Democrat and wouldn't have it any other way).
Day 2 (Feb 16): I went to San Fransisco to go see a Gilbert & Sullivan production, entitled Princess Ida. The 1st act of this production was complicated for my poor confuzled brain....I found out later that the prince & princess were actually "betrothed" and haven't actually been married, although the prince has to "claim his bride". During the second act when the 3 men got busted for breaking into an all Women's academy, I was making a crack about giving Princess Ida a set of studded leather armor and a sword, then she'd be Ida: Warrior Princess! (Girlfriend smacked me after that one...) During act 3, Ida was wearing metal armor and a helmet. She didn't have a sword, but my crack was semi-accurate....
Day 3 (Feb 17): Tour of Brooks College. Agh. I don't like the cirriculum they offer, but the laptop is a bonus with the tuition. It sounds like a good idea to me, but Dad said "Let's investigate other places first...." and he gave a lot of other blah about it.
Day 4 (Feb 18): I went to the DMV to try to get my learner's permit. What a line.....I spent a long time there....unwillingly. I picked up the DL 44 form, and was turned away from applying for it that morning due to the fact that I needed both parents to sign it. I only had Mom with me at that time, so it didn't help.
Day 5 (Feb 19): Back to DMV. We get there around 8:40 or something in the morning, wait until 9am, then go into the building. I spend a long time in line, knowing that 11:00am I had company. I took the test, and bombed, missing 13. I was supposed to miss 8 or less in order to pass, so I have to go back sometime next week.....grr. Around 10:50 or so, we get home. My friend shows up 20 mins late, but she's nice like that, so I let her slide. However, during the course of the evening, she was supposed to stay the night. I was disappointed when I heard that there had been a change of plans on her end and that she had to leave. That was disturbing, and I'm slightly irked at her parents for not telling me that it wouldn't work. I woke up several times in the early morning, like 1am, 2:30am, 4am, etc.
Day 6 (Feb 20): Well, today I was downstairs all day so far. I am slightly pissed with my sister for trying to turn off the stereo when I'm listening to it....she wanted to watch a DVD & tried to call Mom to tell on me for it. I tied up da phoneline by calling popcorn, and pissing her off. I finally took the phonebook away from her and put it in my back pocket until she shut up........
