Dinner altercation. I don't take criticism well, at all. When my dad criticized first the lack of salt/flavor in my soup, then that I gave him too much rice, I actually teared up! I blame him, of course. He could have said it better, used less accent on all the hurtful words... but still, the event did not warrant tears.

Still unsure about housing in BR. BUT, it seems my Thanksgiving break will be as previously scheduled. My Christmas break will be cut short. That is okay with me.
