Winter Break Update

Well then, its the end of winter break in about 3 hours so I figure, why not an update?

My winter break has gone from stressful, to incredibly boring, to sad, to exciting, and unexpected, and any other emotion that can possibly happen. Starting from the top, lets see what happened.

1. Moving.
Okay, one thing you have to understand is that my mom and I move a lot....like....A LOT. In my lifetime, I have lived on two different islands, 21 different houses, spent summers in two different states, and six different countries. What can I say? We like to travel. I usually like whereever I am but this last house was just getting to be too much. This house was so small it took me all of 13 steps to go from one side of the house to the other. The place was small. Fortunately, I'm in a new house, and its not much bigger but it feels like a mansion :) [Thank you to family that helped move all our crap thats sitting outside.]



2. Unpacking/Christmas Shopping
This is worse than the actual moving, because you have to clean everything, and find a place for it...god its like cleaning a house, then rearranging the furniture. It sucks, but necessary. Christmas shopping...all I have to say is Kleptomaniac :)


3. Christmas Day
This is the first Christmas in Hawaii for me in about 5 years. It was amazing since I got a new camera (thank you mother and kyle). I cooked dinner and family came over and it was a good time.

4. Sherlock Holmes
Potentially the funniest movie ever :) maybe its just me, but I do love Robert Downing Jr. Quite a funny man.



5. New Year's Eve
Every year I spend New Year's Eve with my family on the Big Island since they are were all the pyrotechnics happen. I helped set up some sick chinese fireworks that lasted for a good half hour, had a fireworks fight, and generally made things explode. :) I dont have any resolutions for this year because honestly, I'm just going to forget them, however, I do want to be incredibly organized. Like, OCD organized. Big Island also brought its' fair share of surprises. I don't regret anything, but it definitely brought a lot of growth, nothing that is acceptable online however so don't ask.

Throughout the winter break I realized my priorities and everything that I have to lose. I royally messed up 2009 and I hope that I can keep myself in check long enough to make it to the end of 2010. Almost a senior now, I can get out of this place :)
