Really enjoying my new roommate, we've still got a ton of stuff to get sorted out.
Mom's moving to Texas (or so she says) and I'm encouraging her to live somewhere ... else. I love her, but we get along better when I don't have to see her.
Dad's heartily sick of his walking cast, but it looks like he'll heal up just fine from the surgery. He still does not know about the dog and hopefully it will remain that way. After all he didn't find out about Jack until 8mos later or something like that. In case you missed this, he would not approve.
I need to give my sister a call, but things there have been weirdly strained. Backstory: she paid for me to fly to New York over my Spring Break and we went to the city twice and saw 3 shows, so yeah very expensive (actually spent money I didn't have so that she didn't have to pay for all of the tickets). But evidently she was upset because I wasn't talking to her, and I was forgetting some of the things she had told me. I feel I must say this in defense of myself, I've learned that when you're tired or uncertain of the cricumstances that it's better to listen than to speak. Also, the short term memory's been a bit sketchy lately. Lastly, the few times that I tried to engage her in converstaion she refused to be drawn in. She wanted me to talk to her but she didn't want to talk to me. Sorry, but running monologues are not my style. And then she (knowing or not) gets Dad to guilt me about how much money she spent on the trip, she and I had done this trip before when I actually had some moeny to help and she knew how expensive it was, I actually tried to talk her out of it when I found out that I would have essentially no money to contribute. So now, things are a bit strained, which is unfortunate but I'm not sure what to do about it.
The closest I am to working this summer is writing a grant proposal and donating plasma. It's unfortunate that they just manufacture medicine from this plasma instead of direct donation because I'm a universal plasma donor (AB+ if you were curious). Money aside I'd rather donate my plasma than my blood because anyone can use my plasma but my blood can only go to other AB types.
I'm thinking about asking on of my advisors (Cheri V.) if she'll let me do an independant study in hairstyling. Other than that it looks like my last senior year will be pretty much shows and TAing
The puppy's doing well, but she's hit the obnoxious phase where she's pushing her boundariesand I'm having to be a blackhearted tyrant (which I'm okay with) to keep her in line. Hopeully it will only last a few months... I can't wait until she's a dog instead of a pup. Put up a new pic of her btw
And now for something random! It's time to play guess that quote. If you can tell me playwright and show you get a kiss/hug/high-5 if you can tell me act, scene, character I will give you candy. NO LOOKING IT UP! If it aint in your brain it don't count.
"Who would fardels bear, to grunt and sweat under a weary life, but that the dread of something after death, the undiscovered country from whose bourn no traveler return puzzles the will and makes us rather bear those ills we have than fly to others we know not of?"
