dauntperplexitySo I guess that it would make sense for me date it like this even though basically everyone in the world is on the 3rd. But since I'm in Hawaii, there is still one more hour before I join you all in it being that day.
Today, my family had their annual New Year's Family Dinner. Since my dad is a chef, he cooked a bunch of food. He went all out because "he doesn't get to cook for his cousins often." I'm just happy because this is the first year since I've gone to college that I actually got to be here for one of these. And I miss good food...
The Menu:
Rice
Scalloped Potatoes
Shrimp Tempura
Pancit
Korean Chicken
Adobo
Turkey
Fish
Steak and Onions
Clam Chowder
Cause for a smile:
I got to see a lot of my family that I didn't get to see for Christmas or New Years and I got to eat amazing food. I also got to iChat with my cousins who couldn't be with us which was so exciting! I love my family.
*Sigh* Then it's back to college starvation.
I'm really happy because I got to see my pregnant cousin that didn't show up or our New Years celebration because of her boyfriend that no one in our family likes... Sadly. *Sigh* is disappointed... But what can I do about it. That rant is for another day. I'm too tired from cleaning the house and eating so much food that I'm an inch away from a food coma.
I spent the entire night going between playing Rockband, playing tag with a bunch of my younger cousins, yelling at a bunch of my younger cousins, and answering my prodding uncles, aunts, and cousins about college. It's hard to look them in their faces and answer their questions when I really don't know what I'm doing anymore.
I mean, I have a plan. I just don't think I'm going to go through with it as soon as they want me to. I mean, they're proud of me for going to college and all that, but it's a lot of pressure. The first first cousin on both sides of my family to graduate from a university. I think that's why my back is hunched from carrying all of that weight.
But I'd gladly shoulder that weight so that none of my cousins have to feel that pressure.
And not to mention the bragging rights. :P
But I'm tired, and I want to watch my cousins play Rockband before I sleep.
And so I must depart...
