dmxratedThree days ago, I got some kind of allergy which clotted one of my nostrils. It went away whenever I was outdoors. I only stayed at work for one hour, and when Mom called me to meet her at the parking lot, I was already there studying my Visual Basic text.
The following morning, she gave me some allergy medicine, which made me drowsy almost the whole day. Ironically, she chose not to give it to me the previous night because it might've made kept me awake the whole night. She told me not to take it the next morning, and I've been feeling better anyway. In fact, Sylvia had asked about it, and said it might be resulting from stress. That wouldn't surprise me, considering how hard I've been working all last weekend.
It's a good thing that, instead of having a regular class for Fitness Walking, we were supposed to go to the Shea Theater and listen to a speech. That speech was made by someone who was acquainted with Jackie Robinson, and it spoke about the racism that took place when he was in High School, such as how he wasn't allowed to go on some trip to Washington D.C., and also about why there are few or no black people who play baseball for a living.
Later on that day, Marie had Scott over to eat dinner with us, and she got the video camera out after we ate. I joined in when they were watching video clips of me and Brian and Marie when we were all children. These included Marie and Brian in a teasing match, Brian and Marie at soccer practice, Marie learning how to ride a bicycle up and down our driveway, Cousin Adam from when he was a baby, Brian dropping a live fish on a doormat and us watching it flop up and down before putting it in a bucket, and more.
Yesterday, when Mom came to pick me up, I drove home from school for the first time in months. On the way home, there was some kind of truck parked right in the middle of the road, and people were honking at it while trying to drive around it. Mom told me to honk too, and I made one brief honk, followed by one honk that lasted roughly four seconds and ended when she yanked my arm off the horn.
For some reason, Marie has been banned since yesterday from using the computer, even though she claims to have been using it for homework. If I heard correctly, Mom told Dad that she hasn't been keeping her grades up at school.
Last night, Mom and Dad were watching an episode of Northern Exposure, while I continued to play Dark Cloud. During mid-episode, I turned the game off and got myself a bowl of ice cream, and I happened to be just in time for some scene where Flieshman (is that how his name's spelt?) and some other man get into a dispute over a slain dog and punch eachother one time each. I told Mom and Dad that I remember that scene from when I was in 6th grade, even though I never went out of my way to watch it back then (nor do I even nowadays). They commented that I have quite a good sense of memory.
