Day 373 of San Diego

Mason left yesterday evening... Saying Goodbye is one of the hardest things for me... I tried not to cry in front of people. Mason didn't cry until we began turning away. I wasn't teary-eyed while walking back to my car... I was practically bawling. I hastily wiped the tears in case people noticed. I felt embarrassed crying in public, but I also didn't care. I was devastated. Mason and I cried to each other the night before he left as we hesitated to sleep. However, I needed my rest because the next day (Monday), I had school. 

My first day of school was intriguing. The classes I'm taking are Queer Studies, P.E., and Biology of the Human Body. My Queer Studies teacher... I love him. He is outgoing and true to what he believes in and passionate and courteous and open-minded. He may become one of my favorites. 

My P.E. trainers are very cool, I like them a bunch. I'm hoping to have a personal trainer once I'm able to sign-up for one. My main reason for a personal trainer is because... I don't know what the Hell to do in a gym... I don't want to appear goofy and dumb if I use the equipment wrong. 

Sadly, I haven't met my Biology teacher personally since it's an online class. Although that's a bit upsetting, the program seems easy. Quite independent. I'll have to remind myself of due dates to keep up my grade. 

Today, mom, Uncle Jay, Waffles (my uncle's and aunt's Chihuahua) and I visited Snoqualmie Falls. Before leaving, I had to finish a Biology assignment about a pillbug. I remarkably found a pillbug in my front yard, named him Houdini (because he escaped the Petri dish when I forgot to put on the lid), and unharmed him while experimenting with him. Once the experimentation was finished, I rewarded him with an apple slice and placed him under the Japanese Maple where I found him. 

The falls was HUGE compared to when mom and I saw it last time. Uncle, mom and I were drenched from the spray. Afterwards, we ate at a nearby sushi bar. 

The sushi wasn't as delicious as Daimonji's sushi. 

It looked and tasted like sushi you would buy at a grocery store. Yuck!

Besides the flaccid food and missing Mason, my week is flowing gently. There are a few bumps, but nothing strenuous.
