This weekend was good. Friday morning went home with Mike (had to skip public speaking....damn). Got back pretty early after a couple stops, decided to drive up to the high school to see the only teacher I keep in touch with. He wasn't in. Went to Brooks, got card for my RA (birthday is Tuesday), went to the middle school to pick up little sister and also see former band teacher - wasn't there. Left him a note. Brought sister home after secretary made embarrassing PA announcement to her classroom (muahaha), went toeye appointment with my dad (stigmatism has gotten worse), went home where my mom was stressing out and frosting a cake for me. Ate real food, grandparents plus aunt and uncle came over. Had presents, cake, listened to the wiser generation, felt the strain I had apparently put on my mom by deciding to only be home for a day instead of the whole weekend, stayed up late watching Conan, got some laundry done, went to bed. Got up semi-early, had coffee with parents, came back up here with Dad, ate in dining hall during which I learned all about the Atkins diet, Dad left, I went to Jujutsu, acapella show with Shawn (good job CDN), went to Shawn's, came back here wee hours of the morning. Went to bed at 4. Today, got up, cleaned up a little, went to work, it was really cold out, came back, still really cold out, did laundry, ordered Chinese with Rachel, and watched "Bonnie and Clyde".

Also found out today that one of my high school teachers died. Mr. Kelly - 11th grade U.S. History. Unexpected. He has grandkids....I remember him showing us the pictures when they were born. Rest in peace R. Kelly, you made a difference for a lot of people.
