Thanksgiving break was pretty relaxing. I didnt do much, just stayed at
home for a couple days. It was nice being in Palo Alto, just away from
school--being away from this place and being in a place where it's
peaceful and relaxing. It's just a different atmosphere. It was good being
home as well, with my family. It was also nice, because i was able to hang
out with Beum, a friend i havent seen in a few months. Good time.
I truly am thankful for my parents. Every year, i grow in appreciation for
them, and what they have done for me. It's amazing how far love will carry
someone to action and sacrifice, and i can definitely see it in my
parents, who, in my observation, have never lived for themselves, but
have lived every moment of their lives since my birth for my (and
my brothers') benefit and for the glory of God.
But now it's back to school for another few weeks. I cant believe
it will be over so soon, only 2 weeks of instruction left and in
that time, so much to do. but after that comes finals then Fellowship of
the Ring. How fun. I am really excited about this movie. I think everyone
involved really really tried to do a good job with it. Hopefully
the movie will be great. I really do. If it sucks...I will probably see it
still like 3 times, but i'll be derided for days, weeks, years, by people
who i was hyping the movie to. In the back of my head, i do have a grain
of doubt--that this movie will not be good, that the dialogue will be
cheesy (as the book can be at times), the special effects wont look like
they should, the movie wont flow...
oh, one more thing i wanted to talk about. it's a pet peeve of
mine, one that i really didnt notice because no one did it until i got to
college. but i find it frustrating and annoying when i am speaking with
someone and they do not respond...even if i have been talking directly to
them for the past 15 minutes or something (this has happened). i will ask
them a question directly, and they will completely ignore it. i dont know
why it happens, but it really makes me mad. i think it's quite
disrespectful. i dont know, i guess it's just happened to me, seemingly, a
lot, and only since college. i guess people have better things to think
about and do than converse with me.
