Like Rob did, I think I should reflect on how this year has gone for me.
The beginning
I can't say it started off well. The big snowstorm meant I couldn't go to Catilin's party, so I was stuck home all night, on the phone with Anna and Rob, who also had their plans ruined. Pretty sure all three of us were really pissed off.
School
My second semester of college went pretty well, unlike the first. I did not do well at all the first semester, but I managed to bring my GPA up to a 3.2 for the spring, which was good. This semester, I have been slacking off again. I've been procrastinating, and not doing ANY of the reading I've had to do. And I've slept a lot in my Organic Chemistry test, so I did really badly on my last two exams. And not knowing stuff from class resulted in me not knowing what to do in lab. Micrfobiology was the one class I put effort into. I don't think I'll do all that well. Maybe it's a fall thing. I do hate fall a lot. Anna and I have stolen a lot of signs this year though. Close to 70. Good times.
Family Life
Aside from my mother trying to decide who I should hang out with or date, everything has been...ok. Since I'm hardly ever home, there's really no way for there to have been any problems. Even in the summer, I would work all day almost everyday. And when I wasn't working, I was sleeping, playing video games, or out with friends. My dad has come back into our lives a little bit, after being away for about year. He went to rehab last year, and I guess he's doing a lot better. I don't think he's on drugs anymore. He's working on getting a job so he can start giving money to me and Serena, but I guess it been pretty hard for him. People keep jerking him around. And since I've left for college, Serena and I get along a lot more. I guess it's pretty nice.
Work
Work here at school is reeeeeally boring. I end up sitting around trying to do schoolwork all day (but usually end up spacing out instead). I started working at macy*s more this year too. Only on some weekends though, but it's still too much lol. I tell you... people are ridiculous. Dumb and lazy. It's like wtf. In January, DOCRO was ok to work at. They actually had shit for me to do. This summer though? OMG. There was NOTHING. I was insanely bored. I just wanted to bash my head on... stuff. It'd be more entertaining. The only good thing about it was when Steve started working there halfway through the summer, so I at least had someone to talk to. They don't need me for this winter break though, which sucks because it paid well, and they probably had shit for my to do, seeing as a new study came in. So now I have to go to work with my mom at her office, but that only pays $8 an hour. And I don't think it will be any less boring.
Relationships
For a good part of the year, I was still with Dan. We had some good times. He was at my dorm almost every night last semester, and we spent every weekend over the summer together. Too bad his first Ozzfest had to suck. We ended up breaking up in the beginning of September. After that, I started hanging out with Steve a lot. After hanging out with him for several weeks, he asked me out. But APPARENTLY, he wasn't ready for a girlfriend, and didn't really talk to me much. And I haven't seen him since. Told me he's been going through a lot of shit. I don't believe him. I hope he'll come back with no sand in his vagina when he comes back from vacation and shit, but whatever. I guess that doesn't really count as a relationship, seeing as I only saw him once when we were "dating". Kind of wish he had been clearer about what was going on, especially when I flat out asked him who lit the fuse on his tampon. I still like him a lot, but I don't know what he thinks. I hate guessing games.
Friends
It seems as though I'm losing my and more friends. I guess a lot of us a drifting apart. The posse has a gathering once ina while, and it's always good times, but I still end up mostly talking to Dave, Rob, Anna and Ashley. And Stumpy too. Makes me sad wondering if the posse will stay together for long. It may sound silly, but I like to think that people can stay friends forever. And I know it's possible with some, I just like to think that I can keep all of them. I really think Stumpy is the only one that keeps everyone together. At least I know I'll always have Anna, Rob, Dave, Ron and Dayna. And maybe Stinky too (He's one of those people that dissappears for a while, then comes back as if he was never gone). I guess as long as I have them, it's ok. We started hanging out a lot at PChop this year too, lol. It's silly really, but the only thing that's open that late, seeing as no one's parents want us in the house all hours of the night. Apparently, we get loud when we're being dumb.
Overall, I can't say this year was terrible. I've definately had worse. (September 2004- September 2005 to be specific) Nor can I say it was all that great. It was actually kind of boring for the most part.
