Today was a day of firsts to some extent.  I drove up to my grandparents, up in Springfield, for the the first time with a healthy batch of near misses and giving dad even more gray hairs but I made it.  So I saw some of my cousins and an aunt and uncle too as well as my grandparents.  Truly nice event ( Read more... )

Dreams can be very realistic and disturbing.  Last week, I woke up laughing. Laughing.  What was I laughing at?  What was so funny?  I don't remember but I woke up laughing.  Anyways, I had a dream that something had happened to my dad right before I woke up this morning.  As soon as I got up I called him to just hear his voice.  Luckily it was ( Read more... )

This is my first Friday off in two months.  I wanted to do something fun and for myself and why not, start moving things up to the apartment.  I wanted to make the little trip of going up to Newport News as quick and as painless as possible.  Well, it was quick but not that painless.  I got into a shouting match with mom but we quickly resolved our ( Read more... )

I'm having trouble falling asleep.  I went to work around four Sunday and didn't get off till around a quarter after one in the morning, getting home somewhere close to two.  Surprise, surprise, mom is still up waiting for me I guess.  I sat up talking to her and ordering the last of my books this semester from Amazon, watching Discovery Channel ( Read more... )

I saw my dad today.  He said something to me that I never really thought of...something along the lines of, "I haven't seen you smile that much in a long time.  He points out that I've been very stressed and bitchy whenever he sees me.  I've even had friends comment that I don't seem to smile that often anymore ( Read more... )

After the tragedy at Virginia Tech yesterday, nothing really seems that bad.  So I will state that the day could have been better in a lot of respects.  Like getting another C (a 78 with a 5 point curve) on my latest British Lit paper on James Joyce's ( Read more... )

I got my hair cut yersterday and now I can barely tuck my bangs behind my ears. It makes me look like a clown kind of when I have my hair pulled back ( Read more... )

The wi-fi connection has been dodgey lately at home. Crapping out every few minutes. Super duper. It is just like the internet at CNU. For instance, I have a really bad connection with LJ using the school's internet ( Read more... )
