big ole update
According to livejournal it's been 16 weeks since my last post, so I figured I should probably update again. lol.
We had a snowday today, and I ended up trying to get into work for 7 in the am, but b/c of buses being slow didn't get there until almost 7:45. That's okay though. I got a $5 gift certificate for showing up during a snowstorm AND my boss said he's going to give the 3 of us who showed up $25 gift certificates to some restaurant which is really nice of him. I'm really tired though. I got home around 4, and fell asleep til 7. I was studying for the Psychology quarterly but then got distracted by American Gladiators and the lure of the internet, so here I am.
A lot has gone on in the past 4 months, but at the same time not too much has happened, if you get what I mean. I'll just go through the list and talk about what I feel like. Let's see... I finished all my college stuff and now I'm just waiting for some envelope to decide my future for me, I got an interview with Harvard that went well though I doubt I'll actually ever get in there, my mom said she has throat cancer though I'm not sure whether to believe her or not, I've got a new romance brewing though it's nothing serious yet, I went snowboarding for the first time a while ago, I saw my real dad this past weekend which is always nice since I see him about twice a year if that, I have a turtle for a while, and I think that's about it. Hahhaa. Nice run on sentence there. Now to elaborate on stuff:
So I applied to Harvard, Wellesley, Brandeis, Boston University, Norwich, and UMass Amherst. My top choice is Wellesley but I'm starting to realize I'd probably be very happy at any one of those schools if I couldn't get into Wellesley. The Harvard interview was so nerve wracking but once I was actually going through it, it was fine. The person I talked to was really nice and funny, so I wasn't tooo scared. haha.
Just before Christmas my mom told me and two of my brothers that she had throat cancer and probably wouldn't be around for our next Christmas. For most people, if they heard that from their mom they'd probably be all supportive and ask questions and what not, but if you know my situation you know that's not the case. First of all, she blurted it out to us when she was drunk and we were all in the middle of an argument over her driving me home drunk and her stealing my money. Plus, when me and my bro looked it up that night, everything she was saying didn't really fit into the online info. But she still keeps talking about it, and has had doctor's appointments for it, so at this point I really have no choice but to believe her. This really sucks, but I don't feel at all affected by it yet. Maybe if I start seeing physical signs I might believe it and it'll feel more real to me, but right now I just have to let everything happen and deal with it as it comes.
So this romance thing now. It's nothing serious, but it's definitely a big development. I've been hanging out with David a lot lately and it really makes me happy. We've gone to the movies, out to dinner, he's hung out at my house, I've hung out at his 3 different times, and he always walks me home. We've started hanging out in the mornings as well, and I dont know, I dont want to get all mushy, but like I said before, he just makes me really happy. Even if we don't end up ever REALLY dating, I'd be happy just to have this relationship with him for a very long time. *blushes and laughs* :D That's all I'm gonna say on that. Not jinxing anything.
Last update thingy- I hung out with my real dad this weekend. Just me him and my bro. It was nice. We went to the 99 for dinner, I gave him his Christmas present that I've been holding, and I learned soooo much about him. Before Friday, all I knew about him was his birthday and his name. He told me all about his life, and how he used to be a semi-pro boxer, and apparently a high school football start at Lowell High in the 50s. (yes, he's very old. :P) He's actually a really nice guy and I definitely don't hold it against him that he's not around. It's ok. After dinner the three of us went to play pool, and he definitely humiliated us. lol. He plays really well and he gaves me some pointers. It was fun. I wish we could hang out more often. It'd be cool for him to be in my life, ya know?
I don't have too much else to say. I watched Georgia Rule last night on the computer, and it almost made me cry. That was a really great movie. Lindsay Lohan may not be the best person in real life, but she definitely did an incredible job with this movie. She didn't fake anything or make it seem unreal so I was happy with it. :)
What else? I've been doing mock trial at school which is really fun. We've been building a case, and I got picked as the key witness. (I was too scared to actually be a lawyer. lol.) I've also developed an interest in the show The L Word. It's a good show, people should watch it. :)
Sorry for not updating people or commenting as much as I should. I have been busy, besides the fact that my comp was in the shop for like 3 weeks. I know I say it every time, but I will try to update more often. Ciao baby. :)
