No Christmas Spirit...
So it is Christmas Eve, and I find myself still having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit...I think mostly I need to blame the weather for this one this year. Just yesterday we got our first little amount of snow. I took the dog walking in it because it was pleasant, but it vanished just as quickly as it came. Heck, on Saturday I drove with my windows down. Today, however, the high will be 25 degrees...I hate cold weather without snow, but that is okay because I am at work all day anyway.
But, despite the lack of Holiday spirit, I do find myself unusually jolly this year. That kid that I mentioned in the last entry has become more than just "the kid from the bars who took me on a date." For fear of getting all weird, I will just leave it at that. I just can't explain how surreal the whole the situation seems...It is almost scary to think about how comfortable and natural the whole situation seems...but anyway...no need to start because I could write for hours on that if I felt like it...Bonus number one is that my family seems to really like him as he has been at the house twice now (once because he was shopping in Indy and the second time because I had a ton of people over last Saturday before heading to Broadripple to celebrate one of my friends 21st birthday).
I wish bars didn't cost so much money, because they are a blast. I think what I like about them is the variety of people and the fact that the people themselves seem to be more mature than those at a frat party of sorts. I just don't know if I will be able to afford to go all the time. The highlight of last Saturday was dancing to Shaggy "Angel" (because I love that song even though my roommates do not) and to the much requested (by me and my friends) Prince's "Seven"...I know, you are thinking these are poor choices...and maybe so, but my friend Mo and I always find a way to hear that song when we are drunk (and oh was I ever). I even ate Taco Bell after...
Had to go to the DMV last Friday morning to get a new license. I thought I had until the end of the month, but on Thursday, I went out to dinner and the restaurant would not serve me because my license was expired...needless to say, Kyle and I switched restaurants, considering this was before we were seated.
Grades ended up to be better than I expected. I mean, they are what I expected of myself, but not what I thought I would actually get considering how side-tracked I was before finals...maybe I take tests better when I am calm and don't really care about them...Speaking of tests, I have to start studying for the MCAT exam soon, which I am not looking forward to at all. I need to do really well if there is any hope of leaving the state, however, if I just do okay, I should have no problem getting into IU Medical School. Although, I think I may want to leave the state...who knows.
Been getting along really well with my brother and sister recently. Sadly, my brother will be moving out of the house this Friday for good. He has this awesome new apartment that is about 15 minutes away. He is living with his friend Brian. Not really sure who I am supposed to bullshit with late at night anymore, but maybe my sister will be free :)Just the other night, the three of us stayed up watching old home videos...it was the funniest thing ever. It was 2:30 before we made ourselves go to bed. Aww, I am going to miss him...
Let's see..nope, not much else to mention right now. I will be working all day and the people around here said that it is bound to be slow...so I will probably be writing again later just to pass the time.
