WWJD
What a day. I woke up thinking it was tuesday rushed around the house to get ready and then my mom is like "why are you up so early" "I have class mom where's dad" "He left for work.." "what?!? he forgot me?" "You don't have class today..." "Yes I do!" "Honey..it's monday" "##$%#$^%#$#$$@" -LoL- so that's how my day has started. I'm actually pleased with the surprise. It's 9:30 and I'm already dressed and have eaten breakfast which gives me plenty of time to work on stuff I should have worked on during March Break but was too busy enjoy laying on the floor. The floor is so soothing. I think people should learn to relax a little more. I mean they were always jabbering at me for being a few mins late for shit but the jokes on them..ha!..I'll probably live longer....ah the joys of not giving a shit :)
So yah in the spirit of productivity I'm going to go right now and I do some homework. Hopefully, later I'll get to the mall with my mum and buy me some running shoes. My mom threw my old pair away when I wasn't looking. What?! Just cause they had like four seperate holes and I'd worn them since like grade 9 doesn't mean I can't cont' too..nothing a little ducktap wouldn't fix! Heh! So yah now I get to break in a new pair...
Friday I have finally give my parents the ultimatum to take me up to Grand Rapids to look at appartment. Finally. I think they are just postponing it in hopes of changing my mind. That's so not going to happen for so many reasons. Ah well I can understand their concern and worry. European families don't actually have the whole "wow you are 18 now get out of my house" mentality so if anyone brings up the fact I'm 19 I'll just laugh and allow them free passage to convince my parents of that..no go ahead try...you obviously know my parents way better than I do -LoL- so yah..anyway...they are still being pretty cool about the whole thing..helping me pay for the appartment and university...so I'm gonna cont' being patient and not making a big fuss over the little stuff...
..but I've also learned that if you want something you gotta work for it. It's as simple as that. You also gotta be vocal about what you want and not be shy about it. Cause if people don't know they either can't give it to you or assume you don't need it. I saw this movie yesterday. Market Square (or street). It was an adaptation after a King James novel and it was actually really cool (if you like the victorian style movies which I happen to). I won't go into the plot but basically the daught of this wealthy doctor had been so shy and meek and adament about pleasing her father in every way that by the time she had grown up her father invisioned her growing old with him and then when he died she could marry some old divorcee and they'd just sit in the parlor quietly reading. He said something along the lines "she doesn't need anything more than that". It struck a cord with me. I totally understand how she felt and what impression she was giving. I've had the same happen in many past friendships. Because I was patient and sat quietly listening to other people's problems they assumed my own weren't important and thus stopped listening to me. I'm not whinning now by any means. Just pointing out a fact. If you don't respect yourself enough to stand up for your own rights than don't expect others to show you any respect either.
