i feel obligated to make an entry...
so i finally got a new phone. until now, i had the same phone for 5ish years. i laugh at you people when you say "oh noes, its been six months, my phone is so outdated!" grow up. all i had on mine was text messaging and calling. but it was very reliable, and i didnt complain one bit...up until this year. but now that the phone is in my name, im establishing credit (woot) and learning responsibility etc, etc, etc.
i also got my first "credit card". its really a debit card, but i dont have a checking account or what have you, so yeah, its a hybrid i suppose. i dont know. its one of those reloadable visa ones so i cant spend more money than i have. the only reason why i bought it though was to buy stuff online. (i have yet to though)
yeah...ive been skipping a lot of school. like last week, i skipped a whole week. i didnt mean to, but thats kind of a shoddy excuse... and ive been skipping all year and coming in late. i didnt want to do it this semester because it killed my grades. i can blame it on anxiety, but a lot of it is that i dont do my hw, and i dont like to disappoint teachers when i say i didnt do my hw. in turn, i miss more work when i skip - its a vicious cycle. and the thing is, is that the work that i dont do isnt even that hard. i just have no motivation anymore. it seems like i would rather stare blankly at a computer or tv screen or nap than do work. its the epitome of laziness.
i did get caught. at open house, my dad talked to my teachers, and one of them said i hadnt been there for a week. when he confronted me later, i eventually admitted to skipping. but it felt good because i no longer have to hide that from him. but i feel like i was let off easy - i just had a few extra chores that weekend. he took away my ability to call in late or absent or for dismissal. but he didnt take away my car, computer, tv (he cant take away my phone because i bought it), but i feel guilty for getting off so easy for skipping so much. most kids would be grounded (whatever that is - ive never been grounded) for a month.
back at christmas i took a spill while walking the dog and wearing rollerblades (its not as stupid as it sounds...it was fun :-) ), and i fell on my knee. it went numb after that so i had to go to PT. its not nearly as numb as it used to be, but it hurts randomly, and sometimes a whole lot. so i cant dance until march - i just go to watch. its so boring. i want to dance!!
i miss stan.
