I wanted to grow up in suburbia. Ya know, like all the movies, have the classic American life. But after dinner at my dad's last night, I realized I could have that, but I don't really want it. I have a great mom who I'm so thankful for, and I have a great dad even when he's being a dick. He's just treating me the best he can with little to no parenting experience and no examples of which to go off of.
As for the whole Paris thing, my mom and Ponchi totally support me, my grandma totally supports me, and my dad and Debbie are crazy in their support for me, so this is working out lovely for me. I really hope Joanne realizes this is something I really want and will benefit me so much. Honestly, this Paris trip would help out my life in so many ways, I couldn't even begin to cover them all.
Other than that, Anthony and I got into a pretty atomic bomb-like fight on Monday. I don't really want to go into in detail except for the fact that I said what I needed to say, I stuck up for myself for the first time truly in my life, and I'm proud of myself for it. And for the record, I don't drink and do drugs every weekend. I don't need either of them to enjoy myself and since the Friday before winter break, I haven't drank more than three shots in one night. I've cut down so much because I don't like who I am when I drink. I don't like being that girl so I changed. After last weekend of boring, pointless waste of gas and money, I'm thinking about staying in more. Going out just isn't where its at anymore; I could do so much more with my time. I need to my gpa over 2.75 for Paris, even though after 17 full absences I got a 3.2. So I'm trying to up that to a 3.8 or 4.0. I need to finish my BYU class asap. I think I'll start that tomorrow.
Oh don't I feel better already. =]
