Family Weekend

MY GOD, I'M TIRED.

Man, I spent half of Friday and my whole freaking weekend with my relatives! After school on Friday, I had to go to this pre-wedding party where I met people I never knew existed. Apparently they're now my cousins. Well, they're really nice, and I like them a lot, so it's all good, I guess. The pre-wedding party had all this Asian food (fried rice, BOOYAH) and it wasn't bad at all. (Of course it was raining outside.) But they had TWO 2-liter bottles of soda. I bet they want to fill us up first with the soda before giving us the food. That's actually sorta smart.

Then on Saturday came the real wedding, and I spent at least two hours just standing, snatching little snacks from waiters with my younger cousins, and conversing with my new relatives. At first it was awkward, but then it actually got sorta fun. The snacks were good too; too bad there weren't a lot of them. Then we went in for dinner, but of course we had to wait another hour before the food actually came. There were speeches, toasts, blah blah blah, one guy mixed my apple cider with champagne but I didn't get drunk, yay. (It tasted bad though, haha.) And then food! I ate lamb, my new cousin ate lamb, my dad and brother ate beef, and my mom ate-guess what?-lamb. It wasn't that bad, but my favorite was the rice that came with it. It was like, a mix of Asian and Indian food, I think. IT WAS AWESOME!!! Then people started dancing, and we got free ice cream (I ate two cones), and then my family left.

SUNDAY was a family reunion party. It was sorta special because my new cousins came for the first time! It was at the same old house with the same old cousins, though, and I had a great time running around and playing random games. In the end I had to leave early because of ANOTHER family dinner (immediate members only), which sucked a lot. I was down for a little bit, but then I got some chocolate and I cheered up.

And that brings us to now. I'm so tired, but at the same time I'm so happy that the big stuff is over. At the same time, again, I'm sad. I have to finish a social studies project and memorize a drama script by January whenever-school-starts. Still, I've got a whole two weeks ahead of me!

Merry X-mas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
