didn't have the ambition to update yesterday. we went out to the hilton diner with sandi and craig. we sat there for three hours and talked about various things, including some of the problems as of late. sandi wants me to keep the stripes but i don't really want them. i don't know what to do and i dunno...they did this to my dad....gave him rank and didn't tell him what to do...gah! i don't know what duties a sargeant has! mergh! there are some people in our unit (mainly one) who has a huge problem with me...because i'm a freaking corporal! i can't believe a grown woman would try to get people to turn against a freaking 19 year old! because i'm a stupid corporal? why is it even an issue? anyway...they're going to take care of her. good.
other than that, it was a great evening. we came home and made s'mores using the grill (mmm taste the charcoal!) and we all slept in the tent. my mom went in around 3am because "bugs were crawling on her." that's why you don't sleep on the ground without a groundcloth! ah well. i went in around 7am because it was getting too bright in the tent. what a bunch of fools.
we were supposed to go to niagara falls today. it was a huge misunderstanding, however. josh wanted to go because he thought i wanted to go and i wanted to go because i thought he wanted to go...and neither of us really wanted to go there! we stayed home and played uno and watched talk shows. i found out that skippy goes to r.i.t. where he's doing grad work (damn!). then we had a fun trip to putt-putt (dad won curse him!) and over to ghetto gates because i needed to search the super wal-mart for clothing spray that isn't febreeze.
gates is very scary. i don't like it. it's a very suburban ghetto. i also do not like chili. it just creeps me out.
penny is barking and she will NOT come in the house and i will NOT go out and get her.
buying books online is somewhat cheaper than buying them from the bookstore. the only bad thing is the unbelievable cost you pay for shipping. on average, the books are $10 which is a better deal than the bookstore...
i feel guilty, though. college is so expensive. i received less financial aid this year. books are so expensive. my brother needs $4,000 braces. i've concluded that i really don't *need* anything so i'm dreading christmas time. why buy clothes? why buy random crap? i have a lot of random crap that i don't need...so what is there that i do need? nothing, just textbooks and laundry money. and maybe a nice guy to share my more hilarious moments with?
*and now i'm heading back to the stars*
