Journal 38: Winter Holiday

I went to Japan the last winter break. However, this time it was better because instead of going with Derek, who I am not very familiar with, and Jason, who..., I went with a lot more people and a lot of these people I went with are people I am familiar with and are actually some of my best friends. No matter where I go, it is more important to be with friends. Whether it is MUN, skiing, or camping. As long as I am with my friends the days can't be that bad. The first week of winter break was a great success and also a great thrill. I also went to Austin's house for Christmas and that was fun. We chatted til very late and we drew on Patrick's face because he slept too early. We exchanged gifts and that was fun. Eddy gave a gift that's cookies in an iphone box and we all thought Eddy was giving Brian an iphone. That was funny and the night ended well. The worst part of winter break was when the second week come, when all the fun ends and winter break becomes a buffer for start of school. I never really understand how I work harder during winter break than I do during school days. But because I had too much fun in the first week, my mom doesn't allow me to have much fun in the second week so the second week was just mindless studying and finishing of homework.
