Christmas post
It's been awhile since I updated so here's a little rundown.
The week hasn't been so kind to me. The Chicago trip was cancelled abruptly. Kaiden's grandmother passed away last week and she was still taking care of things with the family. I was really disappointed, but things like this will happen. I had a feeling something like this would happen anyway...so I guess I was sort of prepared for it.
There were also several other minor inconveniences occuring this week, like getting locked out of topnet (which I still am). I can't get my grades and still can't register because of my asshat of an advisor. Still haven't heard back from the journalism department about that either. Maybe this is my sign to take a semester off heh. There were other little trivial things irking me all week of even smaller consequence now.
I'm really worried about my friend Courtney though. She called me back Wednesday after one of my friends drunk dialed her the night before and told me she had cancer. I told her to call me when she knew how bad it was or just to let me know how she was doing. I don't think she will...I mean we're not that close but I'm still very concerned.
Tuesday was alright though, I got talked into going to Brew Co. Johanna and I dated for about four hours. We wore stupid hats. It was fun. We also did roommate Christmas, I got a Salute Your Shorts T-Shirt from Alex and Torque and Soldier from Chance. Good gifts, I'm enjoying them. A few people came over that night to drink and watch movies, it was a good time. And yes...Melanie has been dominating Monopoly (I think that's redundant..). I also helped my parents set up their new HD TV and entertainment center. An exercise in frustration to be sure, but it's going to be fun watching that sucker over the holidays haha. Brad, our boss at Planet Smoothie, took us out to eat at Shogun on Monday too. And he gave Chance and I $40 gift cards to Best Buy (the girls got gift cards to some spa). This is awesome. Brad must be the most awesome boss ever. I started this story that I'm going to try to submit to Zephyrus on a whim. Christmas shopping has sucked, but I've been able to do a minimal amount of it which is definitely a blessing. And I'm not going to have to pretend to like a slew of shitty gifts this year either.
On our 'date' the other night (I was Johanna's boyfriend in case this creepy dude showed up at the bar) Johanna pointed out that I've seen a lot of girls this semester. Granted, I haven't been out with a girl in awhile but six is still quite a few in a short time. Possibly dodged bullets, I dunno. I really don't think I need to be in a relationship right now. At the same time, well when you're willing to drive to Chicago for someone at the drop of a hat it'll give you pause to that notion.
So it's not all so bad, I've just got a couple people I'm worried about and pray for. And I need some New Year's Plans. Lexington was offered but sounds like a probable bust. I think I'd rather just stay in town anyway. We'll see what goes down I suppose.
