| In Santa Barbara, Lynn and I complain about the weather saying it gets too cold and such. We "suffered" through extremely cold nights (my bed is right next to the window, so it's even worse). Couple days later my friend comes in and tells me to turn on the heater. Lynn and I automatically responded with a "what heater?!" look and I figured the white box thing was a heater/ac but when i asked the RA she didn't know either. So my friend taught us how to use the heater. We slept warmly those nights.
When I got home last night the house was freezing! I feel so bad complaining about how cold it is in Santa Barbara when it is much worse in San Jose. My poor mom, dad & dogs had to go through it. My parents don't like turning on the heat because it wastes electricity, gas & money. So they have a separate heater for me in my room. I slept pretty warmly last night. Oh, when I went home i ran straight in the house to see my dogs. Cookie scrambled up and I was in joy, but then he jumped on me and barked at me. I was startled and shocked but pushed it off since maybe I frightened him by running into the house. I opened the door to see if my baby, Lucky, would remember me, but he too just ran pass by me. They greeted everyone else and acted as if I was a stranger. Pretty sad. But they finally came around to me and i pet them, hugged them, and such. and afterwards I got teary and rubbed my eyes. Mom made my favorite Vietnamese bowl, Bun Bo Hue. Oh how I miss real good asian food. It was like heaven. She asked me if I wanted more, but I had to refuse. She even bought grapefruit, which is one of my favorite fruit, and I ate half that thing.
Afterwards, we took one of my friends home and I felt so lucky. Her parents are in Texas so she's going home to her aunts and uncles. Isn't that kind of sad? On Thanksgiving most college students are looking forward to going to their own home and spending time with mom and dad. But for my friend she's going home...but her parents are no where near. It's kind of saddening. On the way back my eyes got super itchy, so i began to rub them even more. I expected my eyeballs to become red and such, but when I got home and checked. All around my eyes were red & puffy. I literally looked like a raccoon, but instead of black circles, I had red circles. My mom and my other friend advised me to wash my face, put visine drops, ice my eyes, and drink allergy medicine. So I did all that, except icing my eyes...it was way too cold. Afterward I went to tapioca and target. Oh, how I miss seeing familiar faces at tapioca...but I extremely miss tapioca express itself. Target, I miss target. Why don't' we have a target in Santa Barbara? Went back home showered in a familiar bathroom, with warm water. Went to my cozy room, put in my red blanket, talked to some friends, snoozed like a baby. In the morning my dad came in jumped on my bed and laid with me and told me a girl who was going back for thanksgiving was kidnapped so he ran in my room to check if I was still there. :)
So i guess the point of my story is: 1. telling you how my day back is. 2. to somewhat tell you to appreciate and be thankful for everything you have because if you don't you will regret it.
