Bored is the name of the game.
So I haven't updated in a bit. I just haven't felt like it. Nothing new is going on in my life. All I do is work, coach at CHS, watch TV and read. It's not a bad situation, it just doesn't lend itself well to entertaining journal topics.
Obviously this weekend is the Superbowl. Although I was apprehensive last week, I'm actually excited that we get to go downtown for the Compuware party on Sunday. Otherwise I wouldn't even make it downtown during this exciting time in our city's dreary life. I have been careful, however, to avoid watching the local news even moreso than normal. I just can't take the asinine stories. There was one the other day about a van carrying a couple players running into a parking block at 5mph. And they actually interviewed one of the guys about it. I just can't take it.
Breaking news alert: I think on Monday I will be ready to send in my Visa application. This is sadly very exciting. My doctor's office must hate me because I keep calling them with annoying requests. Apparently the Consulate of Chile (as most others, I'm sure) is obsessed with getting everything documented in letter form with the offical letterhead. Who cares? At least I don't have HIV, though. I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that news when the receptionist told me pointedly over the phone that my test results were negative. I believe "Yeah, can I get that in writing?" was my actual response. I don't actually care, I just need documentation!
Yesterday at dinner my Dad asked me if I was excited yet about my trip to Chile. I responded, "Meh, I don't know. I guess." Then he made fun of me for never getting excited about anything. I tried (pathetically) to provide a counterargument, however, I was unable to. Then, finally, my Mom came to my rescue by saying that I got excited when Lord of the Rings came out. Haha. Anyway, that whole thing got me thinking-- what's up with my insane indifference to EVERYTHING all the time? Sometimes it's nice but I think sometimes I come across as boring and not caring. Ugh. Whatever. Other people will have to just deal because I'm not sure there's much I can do about it. I'm just not a very outwardly emotional person.
