Two more days until the end of the world. Well, that's practically what it seems like, with the arrival of school and all. No more late nights and late mornings. No more spending countless hours on the computer, or watching television for the whole day, or burning the midnight oil playing video games. So in general, goodbye lifelessness and hello reality. Okay there. That's all I'm going to spend venting about the end of Christmas break. I'm not going to spend another one of these things writing about how stupid school is and how much I want to just stay home forever. Instead, I'm going to spend my meaningless minutes on this site talking about my meaningful break. So let's list everything down. On December 21 of last year (Wow, I can actually refer to '07 as "last year" now), I went with a few friends to the mall to spend our first day of freedom from school. We watched "I Am Legend", which was pretty cool except for the fact that half the movie had no dialogue. For the next two days, I was involved in a family project to improve our house. Hours and hours we spent painting walls, taping, hammering, and cleaning. Now that might sound boring and tedious... but plug in an Ipod and you've got yourself hours of musical fun. Then came Christmas Eve. Half the day we spent cleaning and preparing for the big night. We were hosting a Christmas party and family was coming over. It was a pretty swell party - lots of food, carolling, exchanging presents - your basic Christmas. It was at 4:00 a.m that the Christmas magic started to really kick in. We took family pictures by the tree before handing out the presents we bought for each other. Opening the present my parents got me, I almost fainted. There it was, a brand new Playstation 3 complete with a game, a Blu-Ray movie and controllers. Good enough to start me off! For the rest of the week, I went on playing on my new baby. So yeah. Can't say anything more about that part of my break. The Sims 2 also took a large chunk of my time during this break. It was fun playing God. Anthropology is my calling. Then came New Years. My mom bought another ice cream cake. The second one in two weeks. It was crazy, lots of food, picture taking... another Kodak moment. Then the rest of this second week calmed down. Parents went back to work, leaving me and my sisters at home to do our homework. Literally, it was homework rush this whole week. Today, my friend came to sleep over. So I guess the break "fun" hasn't completely evaporated. Mix it all together and you've got two weeks in the life of Mr. Basa. A bittersweet fusion of excitement and utter dullness.
