Family = lots of laughs, jokes, and fooood.

Fall break has come to an end, but that's okay. I think I've had my share of legit bumming around. Seriously, I only left the house twice. It was so nice though. And now, as I prepare to head back to school, I want to get in the mode of "hardcore studying and doing so incredibly well on tests." It's not worth it to just supply minimal effort in doing what I must do. As I spent my time here, I realized how hard my parents were working and the fact that they're continually supporting me through this college thing is so motivating.

.. and of course, like all things, we only want to highlight the best parts ---- but for me, that was all of it!

Can I tell you how much I love being celebrated? I love it ... not because I just want to be the center of attention or whatever, but because I feel cared about and loved more than any other day. :)

Over fall break ...
- Family decided to celebrate all of October birthdays. So much fun.
- Mom made pho because she knew that I've been wanting some.
- Yeng had mentioned to me that my cooking got better! Such a plus!
- The guys rented movies and we just watched movies for one night. Rise of the Guardians is a very cute and inspirational movie.
- I was easily drawn into pinterest and then was inspired to begin knitting again. I finally finished my own scarf after two days. Worth it? I think so! Funny conversation with Pang went like this ....

     "Why do you look like a grandma?" 
     "I'm preparing for the Winter!" 

- Speaking of Pinterest, I'm getting so excited for all of the holiday pins coming in. :)
- Mom applauded me when she found me in the kitchen cooking before she got home from work. I think she misses me a whole lot. ;)
- I'm happy to say that I, at least, attempted to do my homework. I imagined myself working and reading my butt off, but who are we kidding.
- Reason woke me up to tell me that he was leaving for school. He's so funny when he carries his violin with him to school, but hey, he's gonna be a pro soon enough.
- I got to sleep in. It. was. amazing.

That's it!
