Updates

So, I haven't blogged for awhile. You would think that during the Christmas break, while I had no school or other obligations, I would have 10 minutes to blog. Well, I had plenty of 10 minute breaks, but did not spend them blogging. Sue me, but I like talking to my family a little too much.

So, here are some highlights from the last month:

• I love putting sour cream on just about EVERYTHING. Some favorite sour cream drenched items include: fried potatoes (or french fries), toast, bagels, and all things Mexican. Well, I finally decided that I should try to be a "normal" American, so I bought some strawberry cream cheese to put on my bagels. I might still prefer the sour cream, but cream cheese is pretty good, too.
• Christmas Eve, my niece got sick and threw up on me. Right as dessert was being served. I reacted pretty well, and managed to catch most of it and nothing hit the carpet. Well, I then got sick a week later on my mom's birthday, and threw up, again, right as dessert was being served. Rather than throwing up on one of my fellow human beings, I instead threw up on my little sister's cat. Yup, he ran right into my lane, and because he made me pause a second to not trip over him, I didn't make it to the toilet in time, and instead nailed the cat. It was pretty funny (once I felt better).
• I learned that air mattresses are quite comfortable, but can be VERY COLD. Make sure you have about 3 blankets underneath you if you sleep on one.
• Palo Alto is beautiful. As is Oakland. And Utah's air quality during the winter is dreadful.
• My roommates and I went snowshoeing today. I think I'm in love. But, in order to fully follow this love, I need to make sure to always wear sunglasses, because I got a headache from staring at all the white. Not too pleasant.

That is all.
