But baby when they knock you down and out, it's where you oughta stay
My sister's Christmas show was this weekend and I helped out, but unlike all the years that I was in it, it was at Seymour High School. Me, being the masochist, decided to get off exit 21, instead of 19 and drive through Seymour, past my old elementary school and shit. Bad move! I definitely got all nostalgic for disaster my childhood. Except, nostalgic isn't even the right word, because it's not like I had an omgsoamazing childhood. Actually, it mostly sucked, with the exception of where my grandparents were involved in it. I guess it was more of a, remembering something that I wish was better than it was, sort of thing? (Clearly I need to start reading again, my vocabulary is kind of pathetic!) I almost went past my old house, but decided against it. Last I heard, the family that bought it was doing a great job fixing it up, though. My little Mustang probably wouldn't have made it up that hill anyway. Sooo, thanks to my little trip down memory lane, I spent the entire weekend in a funk. I know, great job, Lisa.
It didn't help that the Rink's Christmas party was last night, after Laura's show. Being forced to socialize when you kind of just want to curl up in a ball and hide from life for a while? Not so much a good time. On a happier note, I totally got a larger bonus than I expected! Especially considering I've only been working there for four months, and it feels like even less time than that. =)
Aside from the funky mood, not all of my weekend sucked! I talked to Shay, Kala, and Kate a bunch! That almost always makes me smile. I missed my favorite, though.
Also, also! Wednesday! I didn't manage to get out of working entirely, but I DID manage to get off around 5, instead of after 8! I'm so excited for Kala's birthday! And uhm, I can buy her a gift now, thanks to my bonus! \O/
And because I don't think this entry could get any more disjointed - let's talk about today! I had my politics final today. I somehow convinced myself that it was at 8am. OK, whatever, I basically roll out of bed and head out the door. Except, when I get to school, the classroom is empty. Now, the only way to get me to class early, is to tell me it starts 15 minutes earlier than it actually does, so I was pretty sure that I couldn't be the first one there. So I start to panic a little, and think that maybe the final was on a different day, and that I missed it. Then I remember that I wrote down when the final was in my notebook. So I check and it says Monday, December 17th......1pm. Haha, oops. So I basically dragged my ass out of bed for nothing. And then I proceeded to nearly fall on my ass, heading back to my car in the parking garage. Ice melt? What's that? Housatonic definitely hasn't heard of it. Aaaand I came home and couldn't fall back to sleep, so I'm updating! ...I was hoping that if I put an exclamation point there, this would be more exciting.
