Started classes. Well, I went to orientation. So far so good. Its hard to learn at first. My having a fucked up pinky is a little hard too. I can't really reach the two keys too easily. It'll take some getting used to. But considering its only my first time actually using it to make words, I did okay. 10 practice phrases, and I only messed up on two words. So. yeah.
My tuition dropped 8k, and I'm really happy about that. It went from being 22k to 14k. I can really handle that, considering I'm paying out of pocket. Psh. Dad immediately thought it was a scam because he said that classes go up in price if they don't have enough students, not down. He was complaining and yelling because I didn't do any research on the school. It pissed me off because he likes to think that whatever I'm doing is going to be a fuck up, I'm going to quit, or something. However, I don't think Fran would let her boys go to a school that she didn't think was legitimate. Sometimes I think he's so hard on me because he could have been something other than a construction worker if he wanted to. He wanted to be an architect or went to school to be a mechanic. But he didn't and now he's bitter. Its the only reason.
Whenever I need any positive reinforcement, I know I can count on mom. Drunk or not, I know she's proud of me and is happy for me.
I've lost six pounds since I've started. No, its not a diet. It's a life change, as Tarus puts it. I was off yesterday and she came out here. She wasn't feeling well so she left work. She came and saw me! I'm so loved. heh. But yeah. She came out my way, we picked up my check, went to the banks, and walked along the harbor in Island Heights. After we walked there, we went down to Seaside and walked the boardwalk down to the end. All in all, we walked four miles yesterday. My legs and groin feel it today. Boy do they!
We talked a lot. She's my motivation. She told me stuff that I needed to hear, wanted to hear, and things I've known. I guess coming from her is an eye opener? I don't know, but I do know that by Cancun, I wanna be out of the 2s. I HAVE to be outta the 2s. I was toying with the thought of joining Ballys down her way, that way we can go to the gym before I go to class. I don't want to go by myself, and I know I'll go if I have someone to go with. Yes, I know. Insecurities suck.
Sexy Evette is on the way. Rawr!
