back to school... =(

i had an awesome vacation. absolutely do-nothing, think-nothing, eat-everything, sleep-everyday, vegetative state kinda vacation. it is so unlikely me to like to do-nothing, which just shows you how school can change your personality! so for the first week, i just watched movies, spent time with family, sleep, nap, eat. i can't really even recall what i did 'cuz i don't think i did anything! =) felt soooo great!

but by week two, i began feeling guilty for not going out, doing stuff i wanted to do, seeing friends who have been calling, being lazy and unproductive. so to quickly summarize again, this is what i can recall of what i did:

new years eve potsticker party
new years murder mystery
dinner out with parents
shopping, shopping, shopping
badminton 3x
saw "incredibles" (highly recommended)
saw "I, robot", "love on a diet" (hilarious chinese movie), "terminal", "day after tomorrow"
saw last eight episodes of "sex and the city"
baked cookies
cooked post-xmas thai dinner with friends
cooked dinner for family
ate out with friends
highlighted hair with friend
opened up a textbook (for 10 min before i shut the book)
bought digital camera!! (my xmas gift from parents)
read
walked chopin
finally saw my first optic nerve in the eye with my bro's $700 pan-optic opthalmoscope

what i didn't do (but wished i did):
go snowboarding (rained 2 weeks straight!!)
get a tan (rained 2 weeks straight!!)
get hair straightened
eat dim sum
read enuf books

can't remember what else. it was a busy but fun week. and then of course, i had to head back....2nd and final semester! 5 more months to go of didactic work!
