the weekend has come again. this semester has really left me alot of time to sit around and do absolutely nothing--something which i have taken complete and full advantage of, i might add. this morning was the first time(this semester) that i felt the need to skip class for the day. considering i only have three hours of class, i couldn't justify it enough to satisfy the nagging guilt in the back of my head, and ended up attending class. luckily, i happened to enjoy my classes more than normal, so i'm glad the effort wasn't wasted on my part.
sometime during the weekend my mother and sister may or may not come down(or up) to pay me a visit and bring me some much-needed items. my tv, for one. in our living room there currently resides a 13 inch television which is almost impossible to play video games on--which is what i'd be using my tv for mostly. i told megan some time ago that when i did obtain this ever elusive tv(that i've been waiting for quite some time to come into my hands), it would go into the living room for all to witness. some not so recent events and betrayals later, i've decided to keep my tv in my room so that i am more comfortable. i'm not sure if that makes me petty or not, but i suppose i'll survive regardless.
with the bringing of my tv, there is also to be a little dog to come with them. as some of you may know, i have a dog currently by the name of edie(whose puppy picture can be found
here). i've had many many many many debates with myself about the 'trading of dogs,' and it hasn't proved to be a very easy one. on one hand, edie has gotten to be a medium sized dog with more exuberance than this small apartment can handle. she frequently does laps around my room in the effort to rid herself of this excess energy, but i'm sure that my neighbors underneath us are less than happy(as shown by the beating of the ceiling). my mother offered to take edie for me 'temporarily' so that she could relax and run around in our backyard at home with the other dogs which would be all well and easy if not for my siblings. my older sister and brother both want a piece of edie. for various reasons that i won't get into, i would rather give her to my brother than my sister. the problem there is that he lives in arkansas and we see each other about once every year or so whereas i see my sister every time i go home. i suppose this would be the right time to mention that with my family i'm a complete pushover. i don't want to make anyone feel like i am picking and choosing so i'm sort of blending into the background like i'm not aware of what's going on. there's a reason that i act like this with them, but again, i won't get into that(right now). so there's my dilemma which i don't expect anyone to solve, but i had to write it down....because...this...is...a..journal? yes.
