It's been a while. I've missed you, livejournal. I don't know how I ever managed to cope without you.
What has happened since my last post? Lots!
My father got married on January 13th at the courthouse, and he and Jeanette are expecting the baby in September.
Meet my soon to be baby brother or sister, Ethan Shepard or Olivia Rowan McGowan. God, I still haven't wrapped my mind around that.
Beyond that, I got a new job yesterday as a writing tutor. Pays decently, and I don't need to wear pantyhose or a fifties nurse uniform, so it is a step up from See's Candy. Bonus: boy who got me the job is very adorable, and my roommates have been tormenting me endlessly about it.
Roommates! I have three new ones. Jeremiah shipped off to the Marines in December (and is actually back from basic training right now), and was replaced by Ben-the-awesome and Samantha-the-ridiculously-nice, along with Samantha's boyfriend Kenneth. We now have SEVEN official residents of The Purple House. It's... intense.
I got my DMV learner's permit, and drove Samantha's car the other day. Also intense, and incredibly fun! License and car soon to follow, since I do not want to drive a
Ford Aerostar for longer than strictly necessary.
My mother got a job. This is incredibly good, and it means that my life and hers are swinging farther back to normal.
I'm taking Cultural Anthropology, Women's History, French, Algebra, and Human Sexuality at school.
THE END
