Highlight of my day: getting a call from Avery. After a LONG time of not talking, it was so sweet to catch up with him. How I have missed his friendship. I have always valued his honesty and transparency. He points me to things greater than the here and now. And, he forgives me for being really bad about keeping in touch.
I appreciate him. I appreciate my friends, especially old friends. And I hope that new friends will someday be old friends. =)
Alrighty, going to talk to my roommate. G'night, cyberfriends (some old and some new).

I found out last night that starting sometime in January, Southwest has discontinued the non-stop flights between San Jose and Baltimore. SUCKY.
The non-stop flights were perfect too! They left Baltimore at 7:10 pm which meant I could still go to school during the day and catch the last flight out which was also non-stop. This also translated into not having to wait an extra night in Baltimore and getting to spend an extra night at home. Plus, the return non-stop flight left San Jose at 6:30 am which meant an extra night at home and I still got in in the middle of the afternoon which gave me ample time to settle in before class the following day.
Oh well..I guess I'll just have to find the next best thing!

I miss my mom.
I was studying at Starbucks this past weekend. I was enjoying the I-can't-believe-this-is-Baltimore-it-feels-like-California weather outside, drinking my iced tea. There were these two sisters probably around 4 and 6 years old running around in circles on the lawn. Singing and counting. Yes, life used to be that simple and joyful.
I was studying at Barnes and Noble tonight. Frantically trying to finish my biostat problem set, I hear a sudden cacophony of sounds. What was all the noise? None other than a group of 10 I'm-only-a-15-but-I-will-dress-like-i'm-a-25-year-old-skank who came in to buy Frappaccinos and Cheesecake. Yes, even in all drama of being a teenager, life was still simple.
There are places I'll remember all my life though some have changed.
Some forever not for better, Some have gone and some remain...
Spend time with your families, guys.
