ooohhhhh....soooo fuuuulll...i just completely stuffed myself with food. mmm....goooood fooooood. must remember to eat slower next time though. geez. i'm on my old computer right now. don't really like it, but it'll do for now. oh man, i am so full. starting to go comatose. not good. actually have homework due tomorrow, believe it or not. i have to take two online linguistics quizzes. they're only going to be up till noon tomorrow. so yeah, should do them tonight. but don't want to. bleh.

so i woke up today at like 6 am. i had the WEIRDEST dream. it was so real. well, they usually are. i dreamt that i won $10,000 and that my plane ticket for today was free and that i also had a free plane ticket to costa rica. i was so excited. in my dream, sanaz came into the apartment after i just found out, and i ran to her and hugged her and screamed, "I'M GOING TO COSTA RICA!!!!!" you know, when i was on the plane from san diego to la, i thought about the hidden meaning behind my dream. see, when i was buying my plane ticket online to go to san jose, they would always ask me if i wanted to go to san jose, california or san jose, costa rica and i always thought that it would be really sad if i ended up in costa rica for thanksgiving, knowing me and my non-existent sense of direction. plus, i was feeling kind of anxious about getting home, so it made it a bit difficult to sleep. so...that's why i dreamed about winning a trip to costa rica. i think. i don't know. it's all very weird.

anyway, i get up at 6 and my entire body is like sore. i have no idea why. i haven't even been working out. who knows, maybe that's it. in any case, i drag myself to go brush my teeth and put on my contacts and all that other crap. i was so tired and out of it. then i just finished packing my toiletries and made my bed for like the first time since i've been here (there...since technically "here" is actually fremont). then i left around 7 to walk to peterson hall. oh, it was terrible. the walk to peterson hall from the matthews apartments involves this steep steep STEEP hill. i already have trouble walking up that hill on my way to vietnamese class every day and that's just with my shoulder bag. now i had my shoulder bag and this horribly heavy suitcase (i told you i overpack). i was already huffing and puffing and, believe it or not, sweating by the time i reached the hill. i was like, "uuuugh...ready...to...stop..." but i eventually made it up there to peterson. waited around for like 10 minutes for the shuttle to arrive. there were only like 5 of us on the shuttle so that was nice.

okay, so we finally get to the airport where i made a sort of big mistake. my flight has one connection in la. but when the guy at the check-in asked me where i was going, i said san jose. I SHOULD HAVE SAID LA, DAMMIT. as a result, the guy gives me a ticket directly to san jose and loads my suitcase onto that flight. i didn't realize my mistake until i was standing in line for the security check thing. i was looking at my boarding pass and thinking, "hey...my name's not han." the guy gave me a ticket for a "han vu." so i go back to the check-in and i tell the lady my stupid mistake and she gives me the correct ticket and tells me that my luggage is fine. it'll just end up arriving in san jose 2 hours before me. she said they'd take it and keep it at the baggage claim office for me and i said okay and took the shuttle to my gate. when i got to the gate, i called my mom and asked her when she was going to get to the san jose airport. she said she'd be there by noon, which is just really weird since my flight doesn't arrive till 200. but hey, i didn't argue with her. i just asked her if she could find my luggage and get it for me because i was just totallyi paranoid. i felt kind of bad that they (my mom went with my aunt, her boyfriend, and my grandfather) would be waiting for me for like 2 hours, but hey, it was my mom's choice. i didn't tell her to get there 2 hours early, she just wanted to for some strange reason.

anyway, so everything turned out fine. got onto the correct planes and everything. didn't get to sit next to chris though. but that was okay, because i ended up dozing off on both flights. i totally konked out on the flight from la to san jose. i fell asleep when we were still on the ground and when i woke up, we were already in the air. it was so weird. usually, i'm awake for take-offs. actually, i'm usually awake on the entire flight period. i was just really tired, i guess. so i got to san jose around like 230 because there had been a slight delay at lax. saw my mom (and chris's mom), said goodbye to chris, and left with my mom and everyone else. they already had my suitcase in their car so yeah, that was nice. apologized to them for making them wait 2 hours, but they said it was okay. so we drive back to my aunt's house where my mom's car is, me and my mom switch cars, and my mom drives me to the optometrist and lion's supermarket. guess who we saw at lion's supermarket? deb's mom!! it was so random. i hadn't seen her in so long. of course, i haven't seen deb in about the same amount of time either, but whatever.

man, it is COLD in norcal!! geez...it's so nice and sunny down in san diego, i guess i just took it for granted. the only thing i don't like about coming home is that my parents are rather stingy when it comes to using the heater. so they only turn it on when i have turned completely blue and am starting to suffer the beginning stages of frostbite and hypothermia. at the moment, i am swaddled in a blanket and have stuffed my toe-socks covered feet into a pair of scooby-doo slippers.

dammit. i don't want to do homework. it's thanksgiving! geez. oh well. uuugh...eyelids...are...drooooping... okay, time to go watch tv and THEN do homework. right.
