My Thanksgiving break, part 2

On Friday, my sister and my brother and I all went black Friday shopping. We left around 4 in the morning. I was tired and sleepy. When we got to the next town I was awake and couldn’t wait to check out the sales. We went to Target, Kohl’s, Wal-Mart and the mall. It was dark out. It felt like night. We went inside Target and I saw my ex and his family and his girlfriend. I said hello to everyone but didn’t talk much. My brother was chatting with my ex. Awkward! I looked around the girls’ section to look for a coat but couldn’t find one to my liking. When we got to the mall, we went in a few stores. That mall is my favorite mall because I always shop there and I used to work in it. Anyways, I wanted a ninja turtle hat but my brother and I decided to wait until after Christmas or something. The only thing I got in the mall was a pair of pants. I needed that. I still could not find a coat. I must be very picky about coats now.

We did not get home until 11 that morning. We all went to take a nap. My sister had to go to work around 4. After that my dad picked my brother and me up. We stayed at my house for a night. I live with my dad and my brother lives in Florida. My sister lives with my mom. We played with our baby sister a bit but we were so tired so we slept early. I am sure my dad was wondering what we were doing going to bed at 10 at night. The next day, my brother’s friend came to pick us up. I have not seen her since August I guess. We went to look at stores and his other friend came. I have not seen him since Homecoming. After my brother’s friend left, my sister and her friends came and met us at T.G.I.F.s for dinner. After that we went bowling. Bowling was fun. I haven’t been bowling in a long time. It was nice to go out. At least we spent time with our sister. A couple of her friends left so it was my brother, his friend, my sister, her friend and I. Then my brother’s friend left. We left around 1 to go back home. We didn’t go to bed until 5-ish. Today is Sunday and I am going back to D.C soon. I didn’t do much today, just chilled at home and packed.

My Thanksgiving break, part 1

I came home this recent Tuesday for thanksgiving break. I had to wait until nighttime because I had a presentation in ASL and plus I had to wait for my brother and our ride home. I said bye to some of my friends and we were on our way. We stopped by 7-11 to get snacks for the ride. I was pretty bored in the car because my phone had died. So I just listened to music and played a game on my Ipod Touch. It helped pass the time and pretty soon I needed to use the restroom. I was about to tap my friend on the shoulder and ask if we could stop somewhere when I looked out the window and saw my familiar surroundings. I had arrived to my mom’s hometown. I was pretty excited. It took us hour and a half. I was surprised because it usually took us around 2 hours. My brother woke up.

When we got to my mom’s house, my mom greeted us. she hugged us and kissed us. she said she missed us. aww. I missed her too. My friend left so we sat in living room and mom was asking us how college was. Later that night, me and my brother walked a couple blocks to see my friend. He owns a bar here in my mom’s town but lives on the same road my dad lives on. Strange, isn’t it? Anyways, my friend wasn’t there but his daughter and his girlfriend was. So I chatted with them. my friend’s daughter was telling us how much my sister has grown. She showed me a video of her dancing. She was soo cute. I missed her. Me and my brother came back to the house and waited for our older sister to come home. We chatted and watched a movie. Then we went to bed.

The next day, Wednesday, my dad and my sister came to visit. I haven’t seen them since August. It was good to see them. my sister has grown. She walks a lot now and always getting into things. After they left, we watched movies all day and just chilled around. My older sister had to go to work. So it was pretty boring for a while. I started to eat a lot of food cuz I was hungry and bored. Everytime I get bored I eat food, I don’t know why. Ahh.

Today is thanksgving. I woke up around 11ish because my mom woke me up. I watched t.v. until 1:30 ish when my mom said dinner was ready. We always eat holiday dinners early. I only ate one plate because I had snacks the night before. After that my sister dyed my hair. Then we watched more t.v. I did my homework too so I don’t have to worry about it later. Its all good.

My night in the hospital

So eh.. Last monday night I did the unthinkable.. I did it. Yes I did. I.. drank. I know what you're thinking, "What? Monday?!! you're crazy!" I wasn't planning on drinking. I planned on sleeping until 12 because I don't have a class until 2:30 tuesday afternoons. It was night and I was in a friend's room. I was supposed to be responsible for this friend so he wouldn't drink. I ended up drinking and I had a few shots. I kept telling myself "one more drink." But I see the alcohol and I just grab it and drink more. I did it until I started feeling out of it. 

Pretty soon, I blacked out. I didn't remember most of it. I came back when i was in friend's room and I asked to use the bathroom. I went then blacked out in there and came back again with me in the bathroom with other people. I then blacked out. I came back again with me in the living room and my friends trying to get me to my room. I don’t remember what happened after that but the first thing I remembered after my friends got me in my room was I was in the bathroom at the sink. After that I somehow ended up in my bed and DPS and RA in my room.

The DPS came to my bed and asked if I was all right. I said yes just tired. I tried to go back to sleep but wouldn’t let me. I saw my vomit on my bed and I was thinking, “Oh sh**. I’m in trouble now.” The DPS said I needed to go to the hospital. I said no I don’t need to go. Not necessary. We were arguing back and forth for few minutes. I turned to look at the RA and she was standing looking all serious with her arms crossed. I wanted to say, “Why so serious?” but I knew this wasn’t appropriate. Hehe. Then I started bawling like a baby. All because I was afraid I was in trouble. They too me to the hospital and took my blood and put clear liquid in me.

I woke up hours later (I think) and they put me on the bus and I woke up back at Gallaudet University. Thing is, I don’t know where I put my discharge papers. I may have lost it on my walk back to Gallaudet. If you find it, please give it to me. Thanks J

Ps- that picture I posted on here is my supposed bac. I had to take this alcohol due to an previous trouble. I know, I couldn’t believe it too.
