I'm updating my journal
things are good. i got my first solid A on an english paper this last time... he said it was the best paper he's read this semester. i feel good about that. i'm probably moving out of my house in february and moving into a 2 storie house with 6 other girls. my room mate will be cassi johnson and we will have fun and swim every day of the summer in our swimming pool which has a diving board. i bet you're wondering how i got that A. actually it was an A+ because sometimes i'm good at things.... but rarely ha. so since i'm probably moving out i had to be brave and ask my boss for a raise. i found out that he wanted to start me at a "much higher pay," (knowing clint i'm guessing about $10/hour) but my aunt cindy (in charge of the pay roll and stuff) said he couldnt because my brother wasnt making that much. anyway so i had to ask cindy for my raise. it was scary. my aunts are very large ladies with brown affro's and they're very harsh and scary to me. but i did it, and she is going to talk to Marvin (the top of the kerby totum pole) tomorrow and he loves me so i will probably get $9 an hour. if he does not give me $9/hour i will quit and work for cassi's boss babysitting a child with special needs for $10/hour. its funny that i'm moving out, because really i dont need to. i love my family and i love my bedroom. in fact- the other day when i was thinking about it i cried. i did because you know what? i'm going to miss my mommy. she is the most amazing lady in the whole world and i dont know how i'll get through insane school projects without her. i'll probably just come home to do them. but i think moving out is something i need to try. it will probably be good for me to learn to live life without any money and with tons of stress and no free time. because that's what life is. and do you know what else? its fun. and i'm going to work 30-40 hours a week and still barely make it by and probably not be able to afford real face wash and just wash my face with the dollar store soap i use in the shower, and it will be tight. really... its how i've always dreamt life should be at this age. and i'm going to live it and probably hate it but deep down inside it will be my favorite. especially when it gets warm and there's a break from school and i can swim all day every day. i mean all day every WEDNESday. because wednesdays are my day off. but probably in the circumstance i will not have days off because i will be WAY too poor if i do that. but perhaps i will swim and relax in the evenings after work, or on sundays. hey- i'll be too poor to do anything else! yeah- i've got it all!
