I disappear for a few weeks and WordPress changes it’s admin layout completely. I feel lost.

So yeah, I just came back from my trip yesterday morning. Went to San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. You’d think that would be a lot of luggage but it’s not. You just have to be willing to wear the same shirt more than once and wash a few things.

I’m too lazy to unpack completely. There’s now a small pile of clothes and other assorted souvenirs on my bed. As usual, I’ll have to shove them somewhere else so I can sleep, then shove them back onto my bed when I wake up. My room really is that small.

I still feel a bit tired. Travelling takes a lot of energy. In America, everyone drives everywhere, even if it’s just for a few minutes. It feels funny to walk now.

I got both sunburnt and dry skin from the cold weather. The skin on the back of my hands is very damaged. The cracks have scarred so it looks as if I rolled down a hill and scratched myself against thorny bushes.

I have sunglasses now! It’s so damn sunny over there, it’s impossible to live without a pair. I’m wondering if I’ll carry on the habit here.

Ming Yang had given me a plushie to keep me company during my trip. I brought it back safely and he’s now plotting its demise in case I get a little too attached to it. Haha.

Did I mention I’m really tired?

I’ve confirmed my course for mass communications at MDIS. I’ll be starting next month. I’m nervous as I have zero background mass comm. I will have to study very hard during the next 2 years or so just to be on par with the others.

We’re almost 1/3 through the year, everyone. What does the rest of 2008 have in store? I don’t really want to be surprised.
