Back to Marquette
Well, I haven't written in a while, but here is a little run down. I went home for Christmas. That was fun, and I now realize that I will be leaving in May for sure. I had been wavering about whether or not to leave Marquette after graduation. I thought it was going to be really hard to leave everything I have known for the past five years of my life. But, driving home through the snow, having problems with parking and snow banks, I realize that I can't live up here the rest of my life.
However, I have also realized that I can't live with my family for a long time either. I think I could live with my parents, which is a good thing, since I will be moving back in with them in May after graduation. I realized, though, that I could never live with my sister. I found out why I moved so far away to begin with. Everything I do and say gets criticized. I just can't handle it anymore. I wonder why I am depressed and think I need to be medicated.
So, I think I did pretty well for Christmas. I got a camera for my trip to Europe. That was cool. I got a couple of movies, Shrek 2, the Prisoner of Azkaban, and the Return on the King. Got some other stuff too. My mom also took me shopping for student teaching clothes, that is also nice. I also got some more good news from my dad. He wants to send my sister, mom, and I to Las Vegas for spring break. How cool is that? He is even giving us money to gamble!!
Unfortunately, break wasn't all the great. My grandpa is in the hospital because he had a stroke. I went to see him.....let's just say it isn't good. He has been sick for 20 years, my brother's whole life. I mean he has been in and out of the hospital almost my whole life, but this is different. It is scary because he isn't good. The strain on my grandma is showing. The strain on my dad is showing. My mom is still and will always be sick. She has good days and bad. I love them all and I don't know what I would do if something happens.
So, I came back up here so I could go back to work. So, here I am, back in Marquette. Back to the snow, the pain in my ass. Back to pseudo-reality. I start school on Monday. Student teaching for 16 weeks. What a lot of people don't know is that I didn't get the grade I needed in my econ class, so I am begging my professor from the fall for something to do to raise the grade. If that doesn't work, I am going to take a night class two days a week. Just what I need. I just don't want to deal with this type of thing anymore. I just want to be done with everything and move out of Marquette.
Well, I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have a happy New Year! I guess I will try to update more often, but not likely since I will be super busy once Monday comes and with it the start of student teaching.
