Yes it's sad but I'm still excited

So school starts tomorrow morning and even though in many ways I am not happy to see it start truth be told I am actually a little excited. This is weird but I really kinda like going to class. I have more to do and I see and associate with more people thus making me have a little bit more of a social life not to mention Institute classes. See why I like it now? I do admit that I don't like the homework or the stress that it can cause but why shouldn't I enjoy it along the way?

Why do they cost so much?

So I just got back from buying my books. It is so annoying how much they can cost and usually for me it's better than the science majors. I feel bad for them. Are text books really worth that much? I also love how they make slight changes you know just tweak a little bit and then they have a "new" edition and this is the one you have to buy at full price, ugh! I wasn't even able to get all of mine and I'm still complaining. I guess there's not a whole lot I can do. At least I didn't have to pay sales tax this time.

Timmy update

So the wiring did not take with the cat. His tongue got really swollen and purple and cold so we had to take him to the emergency vet clinic and as soon as they saw him they rushed him back to remove the wires. Ugh! His tongue does look a lot better now.

So it looks like for now we are just going to have to see how his jaw heals on its own and then if it turns out crooked we might have to remove some teeth and he'll have to eat soft food for the rest of his life. Crazy cat.

The naughty kitty

Well I think most everyone knows by now but the cat Timmy is not doing so well. He somehow dislocated his jaw while we were gone to California. Becky noticed it when she got back and took him to the vet. He came back with a collar on and a makeshift muzzle. He looked pretty pathetic actually.

So he had to be taken back to the vet yesterday and there is bad news. They had to wire his jaw shut. It of course will cost more money and of course Mom and Dad are very unhappy about it. They would much rather put him down than have to pay. Mom keeps insisting even though Becky said she'd pay for it. Hopefully he will start to get better.

A quick trip to California

So I went to California with my mom, dad and sister Becky. It turned out to be pretty good although it could've gone better. I didn't take any photos and Mom only a few but I'll put up what we have.

So on Monday we went to Knotts Berry Farm and then an Angels game. It was a lot of fun. Knotts isn't very big but it has some really fun, cool rides. Becky really had fun although Mom and Dad didn't ride much especially Dad. The Angels game was also really good. I like going to baseball games. It turned out to be quite a crazy game where they gave up 5 runs in the top of
the 9th inning only to win it in the bottom of the 9th by a walk.

I have a few pictures from Tuesday. Here's one of the Hsi Lai temple which is a really big Buddhist temple in Hacienda Heights. Also we went to the San Gabriel mission an old Spanish mission here one from there.

We also went to the Gene Autry Western Heritage museum which I found quite interesting.

We later visited Chinatown for a minute. We also got to see a few of the people I knew from my mission.













So Wednesday was different. We had to drop Becky off at LAX airport, which was quite crazy. She had to come home early. She didn't end up leaving for quite a long time after the schedule time. though We would then head to Santa Monica and the pier there. It was kinda fun to see it and wade in the beach too. After it all I wish I had got to see more people so being there a Sunday would have been great but things turned out fine although it did seem like everyone was bored at one time or another.

No where to go and nothing to do

So I obviously haven't written much for a while now. I really haven't had a whole lot to say. They truth be told I have mostly been bored and I have felt quite trapped at home hence the title. I have felt like this most of the summer. I don't always want to get something going because I have to get to work by three. I can't think of a lot of places to go. Either I'm too cheep, (the place costs money, or I think that I don't want to spend the gas) I think it's too far to ride a bike to or I don't have anyone to do it with. I try to find things around the house to do but then next thing I know it has gotten old. Oh well I'll live.

Tagging response

So I guess Minda tagged me as well so I'll respond.
