wow. i am graduating COLLEGE. i still can't believe it. sounds onboxious, but i can't. it's so great. on a completely different note, my cousin is possibly the world's biggest asshole right now. he goes to southeastern university here in lakeland, yeah, the crazychristian school, and he is REALLY holier-than-thou....my dad called him yesterday to ask him why he hadn't been over to see my grandma yet, and he totally told my dad off for like 5 minutes straight about how he was so busy with work, school, and church, and how he hated coming to our house, and he was sick of my dad calling him and being sarcastic to him, and how my brother is disgusting..really all very hurtful and disrespectful things. he actually said all that, i am not lying. all my parents have tried to do is help him out and make sure he is ok, and he NEVER returns our phone calls. not even for a one minute, hi, i'm doing fine, thanks for your concern. NOTHING. it really pissed me off. this is the same cousin who was also too "busy" to go to our Papa's funeral. wow. what a great individual is all i can say. he had a rough upbringing with a neurotic mom, and fanatically christian parents. i mean, i hold nothing against Christians, i consider myself to be one largely, but you know the type. always judging, keeping a short leash on their kids...really psycho stuff. but he needs to grow up and realize that he is no better than us, and a "real" christian would appreciate their family more. WHAT A JERK! i really don't know what to think other than he has been so brainwashed by his mom, or he is just an asshole. i can't really tell. but i'm not worrying about it or letting it ruin my graduation. we are going to have a good time without him. it makes my family see who they REALLY are, and i'm glad about that. WE LOVE, WE ARE LOYAL, WE BELIEVE BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER. it sounds cliché but i believe it. who do you have if not your family? especially if you are lucky enough to have such a caring one like we are. he is totally and completely ignoring and trashing us, and it frankly disgusts me. but this is all the energy i am expending on it. the rest of this time is happy and celebratory, and i will not accept anything else. he can go into his little cloister and rot for all i care. so there. ha.
anyway, i am so happy. my other aunt and my uncle got here today, and we had a really nice time just sitting around and chatting, buying decorations, and setting things up for my party tomorrow. i feel whole with them around. i am so lucky to have such an amazing family and such amazing love and support. tomorrow will be filled with family, friends, and happiness. i can't wait!
love and luck to all my fellow graduates!!! we deserve it guys!! we worked so HARD! ♥♥♥ to you all~!
and thanks for all of everyone's support. i couldnt have done it without you all. i am starting to realize that earning a college degree is more communal than previously thought... :D
love love love you all
