a leisurely day off

Today I took time off from doing too much. It was the first day of winter vacation. I didn't really accomplish too much today. I talked to family today, which was nice. I was helping with homework in Political Science. The problem that I ran into was that I didn't remember too much from school. That's really bad since I plan to go back to school and go to upper level classes, when I haven't been prepared to do that since I've been taking two years off.

I did talk to some friends today too. That was nice and I found out a little more about what's going on with them. They will throw one of my friends a birthday party, and it will be a surprise to him. I'm sure it will be. I think that he's been bummed for a little bit and he's sick this week so it will be a good thing to get him into a good spirit.

One of my other friends from England just got his green card so he could find work soon. I'm happy for him, so he could make the money to do the things that he tells people that he will be able to do. He's one of the most honest people I've ever met and he's got a good heart. He's a really good guy, but I'd like to see him accomplish more of his dreams. He deserves good things.

Another friend of mine that is studying in England, tells me that he hates it there. That's a bit sad since he was looking forward to it for a long time and now that he's there he dreads it. He's home for the holidays now and he's enjoying it there.

Another one of my friends, that I talked to recently let me know that she will go back to the U.S. After being absent for a semester. I think that it will good for her and that things will be better for her. She's one of my good friends and she's got a good heart too. I'm happy that I've stayed in touch with these people since I know that I've lost touch with a lot of people. That's partly my fault, but it's partly theirs too since we don't often have a chance to meet or talk and things in life are hectic for everyone. That's just a part of life and growing up.

I did some dry cleaning today, but the thing that I ran into was that I came a day before a big sale, so I have to go back tomorrow to save some dough, which I really need to since I know that this month I will be spending a lot of money.

I was updating a lot of my journal today too. I went over to TT's house and saw him for the first time since he came back from Australia. It's been a long time. I stayed over there till around 2am and talked about many things. Then came home and talked to EK for only a little before I fell asleep.
