I got a 97 on my pharm final! I'm amazing and so happy!
Currently I am sitting in the lovely Falmouth Public Library, using the internet which they sadly monitor time on due to the few computers available, silly small towns. I did think of this library as being so small and old looking before, now I would be reluctant to do research here for fear the books were all written in 1920. I imagine they dont have too much money to keep up with the times, considering the lack of computers available. Anyway it reminds me of the days when I use to come here after school and read, work on homework, do a project etc, because it was something to do and it was quiet, something my house never was. Yes I was a loser.
Anyway, why am I at the library?? Well I sadly am living in prehistoric times at home without the internet. My brother and sister managed to aquire so many viruses on their computers that the cable company shut off the internet connection. My dad has tried fixing it but apparently with no success. So it's looking like dial-up or nothing for the time being, I don't know how to handle this. I'm kinda glad cause I know I waste too much time on the computer and this way I'm forced to do other things that I also miss and never have time for. I'm going back to the days of reading and socializing with family who woulda thought.
So I just ran into an old neighbor of mine she was 3/4 years younger than I was. So she must be like 17/18 now. Anyway we lived a few houses down from each other and use to play with her and her brother daily. They were interesting kids, we got along cause we were the only kids on our street. They were sightly troubled kids though. Typical parents being alcoholics, spouse abuse, child abuse, cops coming all the time. So they were a little angry at times and made friendship a little hard, but they were good kids. Well so I just asked her how she was doing and she informed me that she was pregnant. It's sad cause for some reason knowing the family history and all it doesnt surprise me. At least she's 17 though and not 16, that's good right? She's dropped out of high school, gonna have a baby with her "current" boyfriend, and Im pretty sure doesnt have a job. Sounds like an amazing life. It looks like her moms going to be taking care of her and her baby for a while, her mom who's in AA and getting by as a waitress. She also informed me that they don't talk to their dad anymore and her brother took off for Colorado so she doesnt talk to him much. It kills me to hear stuff like that. It's one of those sad stories where you know the kids got shafted and deserve better but they'll never believe it. So she loses her chance to be a kid at a young age and then becomes a young mother and is stuck for life. I hope for the best for them at least, maybe she'll make a change, you never know. Currently it just doesnt sound so good. Im so glad that I am a relatively inteligent person without a child at the age of 20 and will in a few years at least be a college grad. In the end it'll make this a little easier.
