I’m updating….
Sorry for this, but I have to talk about college. I am sure you don’t want to hear it though. I thought that after I got in somewhere the stress would end, but really it hasn’t. My dad makes me sit with him every time he has to fill out a form. I make no contributions during this agonizingly slow process. Then he flips out at me because I don’t know some random number off the top of my head. God, isn’t it enough that I have memorized my SSN? Do I really have to remember my pins and codes for FAFSA and TAP and all those?
I have officially signed up for my classes and seminar. My seminar is Global Perspectives, and my classes are Beginning Dance, Introduction to European Studies, Spanish, and possible Rethinking Jesus (how many classes do I have to take?) I am so excited! Fun stuff, right there!
The Murder Mystery Dinner is going down in flames. Seriously. Thank god for the few people who actually take it seriously!
Today was my sister’s First Communion. It was really nice, and she did an excellent job reading her part. She had the longest part, which obviously means she is the best reader and public speaker. She had a few other extra parts in the ceremony as well, and she was great. I am so proud of her! I love her so much.
There were so many times, though, that I noticed the whole unfairness of my dad’s side of the family. Heather had really hard parts in the mass, but I didn’t hear many people telling her how god she did while at the church. Yet as soon as Rachel was done doing her menial task, everyone had to lean down the pew and tell her how great she was. After the party, everyone went down to Rachel’s house. And I would bet money that she was given more presents and attention. Heather stayed here. She is so sensitive to it though, much more than I was at her age. I hope she can rise above it. Just because you call them family doesn’t mean they act like it. It doesn’t mean they care.
Enough ranting….I have been trying to be really positive lately! And it’s working!
