On Friday my friend reminded me about the "Modern Renaissance Man" project being due on the tenth, and I hadn't even started. Not even an hour later, I was informed by my mother that we were going to be heading to San Diego to visit my grandmother and aunt on the ninth. So, that's what I was doing all Saturday. It was only supposed to be two pages long, so it wouldn't have really taken me too long to do, if I hadn't been stalling while Instant Messaging four or five people and listening to the Furi Kuri OST. I ended up doing the project on Arnold Schwarzenegger, because of the wide variety of career paths he has pursued, if anybody cared to know.

Sunday was.. Strange. My Grandmother has gone drastically downhill in five months, and we were all sitting in there watching her in an at-home hospital bed with the aid spending ten minutes trying to get a pulse. My dad, aunt and uncle were all sitting there stroking her hands and talking to her, asking her questions and such, pretending as if she could hear them. I'm pretty much a realist, so I wasn't being very emotional about it. As far as I'm concerned, she was dead back in December when she first started.. Changing, I guess you could say.

I'm not feeling anything over it right now, either. It's times like these when I wonder if this lack of response to death and violence is natural, or a result of my upbringing.

I convinced my parents to take me to Fry's , the really huge electronics store I've mentioned in previous posts, but they were closing right as we got there. For all I know, they had Metal Gear Solid 2 in there, and I could have bought it. I would complain more about this, but that would be rather selfish, considering why we were really down there, no?

We ended up getting home around 11 PM, because of traffic, and I still had to finish up some math homework, so I didn't get to sleep until 1. I woke up and told my parents I wasn't feeling too well in the stomach region (Which, to be honest, I wasn't), and they let me stay home. I just sat here on the computer all day doing what I always do, but it was good to have a day where all I did was loaf around.

Today I was back at school doing my regular stuff. I didn't really miss too much, except for some notes which I ended up copying from a friend, and some math homework. Nothing too interesting happened today, so I won't go into that.

My piano lesson was cancelled, so I have a free night outside of math homework. Now, off to drool over the new Legend of Zelda video.
