Day 136 of San Diego

Did you know Gary Oldman has a British accent?

...

WHEN THE HELL DID THAT HAPPEN?

Anyway...

My day was a little stressful. I forgot to read a short story in which we were discussing about in ENGL class today. Then in SOC, I didn't know the rules for studying a quiz and I had to guess the entire thing. Oddly - and miraculously - enough, I managed to get a few points. Nowhere close to 100%, mind you...

When I came home, I sent Mason's Easter gift through the mail. When I came home a second time, I jumped into the shower before starting on boring homework...

The homework isn't difficult. It's easy to me. All I do is read and read and write a little and then continue reading about other stuff.

In a sense, I'm glad this quarter is simple. A few things are annoying - like waiting an hour in between classes - but my days are going smoothly and that's what I approve of.

The thing I don't approve of is not being able to play satisfying games with Mason... He's an xBox guy, I'm a Playstation girl. We've tried a few computer games, but they ended up at the sidelines. Minecraft is one of our favorites. Yet we can only play it in multiplayer when he's home (using my Internet connection) I would create a server, but I can't because my IP address is strange compared to other IPs. I'm not sure about configuring my IP to something usable for successfully creating a server. Besides, mom says if we started the project, she wouldn't be able to finish it before the trip to Boston.

Oh yea, by the way, my folks will be gone for a whole week. My dad qualified into the Boston Marathon. His friend qualified, too, but he hurt his leg and had to quit.

Guess who gets to stay in a haunted house... ALONE... for seven days?

Me...

I don't have any rules to break, I'm not a party animal... What will I do? Sleep? Do homework? Shucks, what a vacation away from the parents...

No Minecraft with Mason, no awesome stuff while the parents are gone in Boston...

I'll think of something. You just wait and see!

In a Fog

“I always say that the best things happen unexpectedly and spontaneously,” says Antic Zlatko, a member of our Your Shot community who captured this scene on the Tamiš River near his home in Pančevo, Serbia. “It was taken on a cold winter day, but the ambience was magic—the cold afternoon with the fog and the sun [shining] over it. I saw this through the window and had afterward gone on a walk with my kids. I made a few shots but I think this one shows the true ambience.”
