Summer
I'm going to try to get better at updating. Mainly because I just looked over my old entries and realized how many memories the ones last summer held and how there were fewer specific ones as time went on. And I'd like to be able to look back on these and remember.
The search for a job yet continues. I've applied so many places. Most of them end up saying that they aren't really looking for people until the fall. I still hope to hear back from somewhere since I just did some check backs yesterday. But not getting a job isn't the end of the world. After all, I'm leaving early August anyway. And in general I've been able to entertain myself. Unfortunately, my dad is convinced that I must get a job this summer if I ever want to get a job when I graduate. This is one of those essential stepping stones for success in life. I swear, everything you ever do has to be for a career. This will look great on a resume...employers would ask about that...etc, etc. I was hoping that his rants would stop with college since everything used to always be about what colleges thought. But no, it never stops! Every single day he hassles me about not having a job and tells me more things that I need to do, half of which seem way too pushy and don't make sense. Sometimes I wonder if he's trying to make me like him or make me live the life he wanted or something. The only thing he's accomplished is pissing me off almost everyday. Yeah, I actually get pissed off. He's one of the very few people who can do that since I normally handle my emotions well. I'd even be able to handle him, if it wasn't such constant, repetitive criticism. Hmm. I guess I'm still kind of angry with him, though I've done my best to avoid talking with him all day. Great father-daughter relationship, huh?
Surprisingly, I haven't gotten bored too often. I've been reading like crazy for one. In addition to tons of manga, I read Angels & Demons. Amazing book. My favorite part has to be where he wakes up on the banks of a river with doctors over him. He thinks they're aliens and is like "Oh well. They just want my..." and then springs up and attacks them screaming about how they'll never get his testicles. I couldn't help but laugh. Now I'm reading Eldest (the sequel to Eragon) because I never got around to reading it before. I've also got Deception Point (yet another Dan Brown) sitting on my nightstand for when I'm done. I've also been playing lots of video games. I've almost beaten Dark Cloud and I just started a game on Kingdom Hearts II. About time I got around to that. Combine that with time spent online, talking on the phone to people from school, getting a decent amount of sleep (though still not tons), and a couple random events with people here (gaming and movies). All of that leads to no boredom. I finally found the recipe! Though occasionally it can still happen when I'm forced to find somewhere away from parents.
And right now I'm being bombarded with IMs. So I'm done updating for now. Not much else to report anyway.
