Back home... For now

So, after about 3 hours in the car today, we decided to spend the night at my house before going back to school.

It's been nice to rest at home, cook dinner (which turned out great!), and watch tv with my mom.

The downside is, we need to be up around 6:30 am to pack up the remainders of my stuff to bring back to school, so we can leave before 7 to miss any early morning traffic.

You know, since I need to be in class by 11 am and all... Greaaaaaaaat...

I dunno if I'll be driving on the way there. It all depends on how tired I am. I barely got any sleep last night, or rather this morning seeing as how I fell asleep around 8 am.

-__- 

Ohhh, me. 

How silly I am.

I'm so looking forward to seeing my boyfriend.

I miss him quite a bit when we're apart, although it's tolerable.

I don't die inside or anything, I'm just somewhat incomplete.

I love hearing his voice on the phone. We calls each other here and there throughout the day, even if it's just a short call to check in. It makes me feel so happy and loved :3

He's truly the best, though the many, many reasons why that's a scientific fact is something I'm not going to get into just yet. But just take my word for it. He's amazing, and by now I know the difference between amazing and not amazing.

You'd be surprised how similar they can seem when you don't know what amazing looks like :0

Anyways, I'm not really looking forward to going back to class. I don't really like any of my classes this semester, and being sick on and off hasn't helped with any of that. Le sigh... Just gotta get through it I suppose. 

Oh college, why must you test me so?

I wish I could go to school only for art classes, and maybe a few extra things I find interesting, but that wouldn't really work. I didn't want to go out of state for school, and there aren't really any decently credible art schools in Texas that I know of. I do like my school though, so I'm content to stay there, just not entirely pleased with the classes I have to take if that makes sense.

And now for something completely different!

This.

This is hilarious.

I can't wait to eventually eat up all the snacks I aquired this weekend during our family trip to China Town. We went to this big indoor mall, which had a huge market inside.

I got various breads, candies, and treats, but this was one of the most interesting:

It's some sort of sticky rice cake/bun covering a coconut and durian filling.

Now... I'm not 100% sure what a durian tastes like. 

(a durian cut open)

I've heard it smells something awful. 

It looked pretty interesting when I unwrapped it.

But when I took a bite....

 I found that the inside tasted like a combination of delicious coconut and.... Onions?

It's kind of strange... I tried to eat it, but couldn't get very far. I'm not a huge fan of onions, and the flavor and smell was pretty pungent. 

The outside was really tasty, but the filling was just too hard for me to stomach, which is really unfortunate because had it just been the coconut inside it would have been amazing!

Oh well :/

It never hurts to try something, even if it ends up a little disappointing.

At least I got plenty of other tasty treats to enjoy :)

I always love Asian markets <3
