So one day i got home late. My parents were pretty worried. I felt really bad because i kept them waiting for so long. Apparently my mom went driving around town looking for me and my dad stayed at home waiting for me. So i was at the library until 5:45 that day and i could not call my parents because i have no phone (My phone got taken because i went over my texting bill by $100). I usually stay after school for tutoring on tuesdays, wednesdays, and thursdays. That day i went to the main library and studied with my friend. My parents did not know where i was of course and were pretty mad when i got home.
When i arrived home at 6:30 or so, my mom was just leaving to go get my brother from karate and my dad was still home. My dad was pretty mad. He yelled at me for what seemed like 30 minutes. I do not blame him though he was just worried where i was.
After he finished, i went upstairs and started doing homework. Then my mom came home and we all ate dinner. After i was finished i went back upstairs to do more homework. An hour after i went upstairs, my dad called me down so my mom, my dad, and i could talk.
I am really glad i had the talk with my parents. My dad explained a lot to me. He cleared some things up but also left me with some questions. That day was for sure a learning experience as he put it, and i do not think i will forget that talk for as long as i live. I'm glad i have parents that i can trust with anything, and sit down and talk with whenever i need to.

My Dog (Buddy)
This week i am going to write about my dog buddy. Buddy is my families six year old Akita. We have had him since he was a puppy. Buddy started out the size of a football when we first got him. Now he is the size of a small bear (according to France). I remember the first night when buddy got home it was about 11:00PM and i was in bed. I heard the garage open and i knew my dad had finally gotten home from wherever he picked up buddy. I remember running downstairs and looking into the tiny crate and saying, "Why is he so small?" Little did i know, Buddy was going to become huge.
I remember the next morning Buddy was terrified of everyone. He would not come out of his crate and was always shaking. After a while he eventually grew to like us. When i was little i always wanted a dog that would fetch, so the first thing i did when buddy was not scared anymore was teach him how to fetch. So i taught him. It did not really work out though, because still up to this day buddy will go get the ball bring it back and then run away when i try to get it from him.
Now buddy is older. He always wants to go for a run and what not, he is still pretty energetic, and he is huge. In his years he has gotten into a lot of trouble. Gotten into a fight, killed some small animals (not a pretty sight), and knocked down an old man on a bike with a dog (France, Andrew, Steven, Alvin, Sandy). He is getting older but he still is the playful little puppy we have had since that first day we got him.

My Thanksgiving break
This thanksgiving break i went to Lake Tahoe. I went from wednesday the 25th through Saturday the 28th. Every year my family and i go up to Lake Tahoe for thanksgiving. It has been a tradition for years. Usually we stay in our cabin. I call it our cabin because to me it seems like we are the only people that ever go there. The cabin actually belongs to a family friend. We usually go up there every year with our dog Buddy. This year we didn't go to the cabin because it was being used by someone else. Instead we went to a hotel so we couldn't bring Buddy.
The hotel was very nice and cosy. We got a room that was too small and did not have a kitchen so we couldn't cook the turkey. So the next day we called the front desk and scheduled a new room to move into so we could cook our food. That day we moved and just chilled the rest of the day in the hotel. The night we moved we had our thanksgiving dinner. It was really good. We had turkey (of course), mashed potatoes, bread, and a bunch of other good stuff. It was a good dinner. After dinner everyone just chilled and then finally went to bed. The next morning we didn't really do anything. We just stayed home and watched movies. We ate dinner and got ready for the next day ahead.
The next day we left Tahoe and went back home. We drove for what seemed like forever. We stopped along the way at In and Out for some food (really good) and then kept driving. We drove for four hours and then finally we got to the bay area. We went to pick up Buddy then went home. That was my thanksgiving. We are going back up to Lake Tahoe for new years too.
