yaaaaay!
And so tomorrow the BIRTHDAY madness begins. 2 1/2 hours if you get technical. I will officially be 22! It's pretty weird. I know I'm still young. But I feel a LOT younger than 22. Last year people made a huge deal about the birthday, even though I don't drink (to get drunk) and never will. This year... all there is really to think about is that I'm getting older. I feel like I'm getting too old to live at home. And I'm CERTAINLY too old not to be working right now (I'm spoiled). And even though if I finished in four years, I wouldn't be done until this May... I still feel too old to have at least three semesters left of school.
It's just really depressing. hahah. I said this to myself last year on my birthday, and I think I said it when I turned 20, too. But I really need to start acting more my age. I need to FEEL like I'm 22. I need to quit allowing myself to be spoiled. I need to start being responsible for MYSELF, no matter how small I start. I dunno it's just scary to think that in a few years I'll be starting a life of my own, officially. But I definitely want to be ready.
So ANYWAY. Tomorrow is when things start to get crazy. I'm not doing much. Just going out to dinner with my family, then having a yummy turtle cake with my grandparents. lol. Then Saturday, Chris and I are going to celebrate. I dunno what we'll do, but I wanna make it fun. Sunday, I'm going shopping with my cousin. I hope to start (oops) AND finish my Christmas shopping. Then after that, we're going to celebrate my Grandma's birthday and go see the lights at Crossroads Village, because Monday is HER birthday. I really need to start celebrating my own birthday in June. I've never done anything big for it, but even the low key stuff is crazy because it's such a BUSY time of year.
After this weekend, I've got a bunch of appointments at the beginning of the week. Then on the 23rd is our neighborhood Christmas party/ Candle Walk. Hopefully the weather will be nice so Chris can come. Then after I spend Christmas Eve and Day with my family, I'm going to Ohio with Chris's family to celebrate. When I get home, on the 28th or 29th I'm gonna spend the night with my cousin, then it'll be New Years Eve. Annnnd I'll be spending that night with Chris. Then school starts on the 4th I think.
BLAH. I'm basically writing this entry to sort everything out in my head. My goal is NOT to be stressed for my birthday. There's really no reason to be. I've been home since Monday. I've been done with my classes since the 6th. For everyone that had exams, they just finished today. I'm soooo glad I got lucky this year. I'm scared to find out my grade in English, but basically if I passed, I'll feel great. If I DIDN'T pass, well... that'll suck, but whatever. I never wanna deal with Professor McCloskey AGAINNNN. When I went to go turn in my philosophy essay on Monday, she gave me the final back. I GOT A 4.0!!!! I guess I did study my butt off for it, so I shouldn't be that surprised. But I felt like my responses were soooo scattered. I hate writing short answer/essays in class. But anyway, YES!!! I needed that grade after this horrible semester.
From here on out, things will be busy but good. I don't think I'll be writing in here, because pretty much every single day of break, I have something going on. I'll have a few days in between my birthday festivities and Christmas fesitivities, but during that I'll be finishing up gift stuff and cleaning like crazy. OH. And my parents are FINALLY going to paint my room. So yeah. Busy stuff. I have a CRAPLOAD of pictures on my camera, but I can't find the cord to plug it into the computer (I'm pretty much settled back into my room but not completely) soooo screw it. I'll try to do a picture entry eventually.
