I've got a hoard of sentiment

i'm going home soon!! january 7th is the exact date and i cannot wait to see my mom. her heart, tattered yet strong... i called her on christmas but she couldn't hear me because she was in a very loud room so i sent her a text saying "merry christmas mommy i love you" and she sent back "merry christmas baby love you 2" lol.

it was quite spontaneous, the act of booking the ticket and such. i was looking at my aunt's facebook pictures from christmas eve and i really missed my family. then speaking to my mom... i flipped open my mac, jetblue.com'd, and booked the flight. although i do wish my hair would grow faster so my mom doesn't give me a hard time. not like she really cares but she always complains about the length- or lack of. who knows.

this semester went well. i'm sure it has something to do with me not working at rickshaw anymore and having more time to study and relax and do absolutely nothing. breakdown goes:
marine geology: a
women studies: a
history: a
earth systems science: a-
host school seminars: a+

anyway, the new year is dawning and my festivities for the eve of such a holiday is still unknown. invites to parties are great but i'm not exactly sure which party i want to go to. or if i want to drink at all. i skipped out on halloween is it okay to skip out on new years? who knows. there's one place i won't be though: times square.

i'm pretty sure the extreme mammals exhibit is still going on at amnh and i really want to go, but do i want to dish out the cash? :)maybe. i am in love with just about every exhibit at the museum. i mean, the hall of planet earth is tight, but the biodiversity section... i'm sure most people would agree. i feel so small there, and not just because i'm standing under a gigantic blue whale, but because humans, though many, are only a small part of the world. and it's just crazy how little we actually know about anything. take that einstein.

i want in n out... and a burrito that doesn't cost 10 bucks.

i'm currently reading too many books at once. but i just picked up a book a friend bought me for my birthday. it was from carly. she bought me this anthology of autobiographical comics called doris and she said the writer reminds her of charlie from the perks of being a wallflower and me fused into one person. it's really neat. i read it right when i got it then school got in the way then other books and now i'm reading it again. quite strange though... when my sister read the perks of being a wallflower, she said charlie reminded her of me as well. am i a wallflower??? i see no correlation between charlie and i. who knows.

i'm listening to city and colour's coming home. hahhahaha i feel lame.

until next time, peace and love,
t.tran
