I hate this! I have basically no time to do stuff anymore. *In a whiny voice much like that of a four year old* I just want to blogggggggg urrrrrrg-- but I have not had the time recently.
So, I'm sorry about that, and I'm sorry in advance, too. Last post, I believe I was talking about the JMU trip and homecoming and other random stuff.... A lot has happened since then and I don't really want to make an uber long post full of rants, so I guess this will just be sort of an update thing.
I could divide this up-- I think that's what I'll do. Let me separate the past events into three categories:
-The Happy/Fun
-The Annoying/Sad
-The Miscellaneous.
I'll start with the semi-sad things to get them out of the way, mainly because I do not wish to end this post on a sad note.
1.Dad still doesn't have a job. He's been looking desperately, and his contract he had with his (now old) company expired September 25th, which, ha, fate has a sick sense of humour, was my parents wedding anniversary. Doesn't that suck? "Hey honey! My company has lost all funding! Woo! Happy Anniversary!"
Not really amused. And with the lack of income, things are hard. The cherry on top gets AWESOMER...
2. Gotta love how the government SHUT DOWN because they can't freaking agree on anything. Fact? Ever since Obama came into office, Congress/Senate/House has neglected to really vote and pass a legitimate spending bill. All they've done year after year is sign the thing that says "we agree to just keep things the way they are and wait until next year to make a decision." So he's never really had a spending agenda. Great, right? I find it funny how they are grown men and women and cannot/refuse to agree on something. Their stubbornassness has resulted in the shut-down, and millions of government people out of work. And the few people that are working, they're not getting paid. I swear, sometimes I feel like I could solve the problems better than the government could. I also hate how the Republicans have control over the House and the Democrats have the Senate. They shouldn't be this manipulative. They're just parties. Annnnnd there ends my rant about the government.
Now for the happy things!
1. My grandfather is out of the hospital and doing okay back at home. Hopefully this will stay like this for a while. He'll be in my thoughts and prayers regardless, but I'm definitely thanking the Big Man Upstairs extra for keeping an eye on him (;
2. Homecoming! Yes, the day that I had looked forward to for so long happened. Yesterday. And it was purty awesome. I know I didn't mention, but J had finally asked me one night when we were hanging out. It wasn't public or flashy (he's a bit shy in that respect-- I don't blame him-- public askings are really sweet if they go well, but they can be super nerve wracking) but it was so sweet. I said yes (of course, haha) and we started planning almost instantaneously. We decided upon going out to dinner someplace and then heading off to the dance. Closer to the actual date of homecoming, we organized rides and whatnot-- all the logistics for a smooth night (: We ended up going to Macaroni Grill (gotta love that Italian food!) for dinner-- it was all lovely (: J and I aren't really formal kind of people... so it was, in essence, the first "real date" we have really been on together. I feel like we're too chill to go out on a formal dinner date, but we did it. Last night. It was a blast, and he was all dressed up and looking dapper, and I was all dressed up and looking snazzy (if I do say so myself!)... it was just great (: However, J was kinda sick... he was sneezing a lot and that made the actual dance kind of hard... Add the fact that all the DJ played was a mix of annoying songs and overwhelming bass/Scryllix or whatever. No slow songs were played from when we got there to when we left. A bit disappointing, but it was okay. I got some chances to jam out with my gals-- that was fun-- and it's times like that when I realize how lucky I am to have awesome girl friends (:
3. My mom's birthday was yesterday! It's a standing joke, but it's her (I think) eighth or ninth time turning 39! She always said that was an awesome age for her... Partly because of the life milestones that happened in that year. But anyways-- I want to wish her a virtual happy birthday through this shout out-- HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! You are one of the most inspiring people ever, and I hope someday that I can be every bit of the woman you are. You're patient and kind, understanding and gentle. Your hugs are enough to heal anything, and I'm sorry if I have ever said anything mean or degrading to you. I never meant it. You're strong and courageous, and determined as hell. (I think that's where I get my ambition from...) You know what you want and will do all you can, through pure hard work, to reach your goals. I love you so much. <3
Annnnd now for the miscellaneous stuff. I actually may have nothing to put in this category... Hmm....
1. I guess I could talk about grades.. So far, they look good-- I believe I've got higher than 95's in all subjects besides math... Precalc is just being a butt lately. It shouldn't be that hard. I should be able to learn something, practice it, remember it, and get good at it. But math really is NOT my thing. So things, a lot of the time, manage to go horribly wrong. I do not know how I have a B+ in that class... I feel like that will drop shortly simply due to the past test I took.
2. Homework and school just doesn't seem to stop.... it's hard to enjoy a night out knowing that eventually you'll just be swamped up in work again, or knowing the fact that you have a bit of work left over that you could be doing or at least pre-doing... but I'm trying to fix this. I need to work on procrastination and get back on a "let's do work the night it's assigned" track.
I can't think of anything else to say at the moment other than "life is hectic" and "wow, I think I am totally missing some key things that happened since I last wrote..." But meh... I guess this'll have to do until next time.
