I haven't fallen of the edge of the earth, I promise. It's just that since I got to Miami, I've been staying away from the computer because the one in my parents place is old and stupid and we have dial up internet, so I don't have the patience to work on it. However, my dad got a new computer for us randomly a couple days ago after I had many problems trying to do a graph for lab on microsoft works because our old computer was too stupid for excel. Hooray! I might actually be able to work on the computer this summer once we connect it and get the internet set up. It's been a little weird being back in my parents house after I've been used to being my own place and taking care of myself for a couple years now. I'm trying to prove to my parents that if they treat me like the adult I am instead of a small child, that all of us will be happier. I'll get a little more freedom (they don't want me going anywhere by myself) and they'll get some more help around the house (now that I know how to take of household stuff-laundry,cleaning,cooking,etc, I can actually do something useful around the house) which they desperately need because both of them work all the time. Currently I'm cleaning and helping with cooking and stuff and my dad said if I learn Krav Maga (israeli army self defense stuff) or something, he'll convince my mom to let me go out by myself. I think its ridiculous since I walk everywhere in Gainesville, but what can I do but accept his compromise. Besides, I kind of like the idea of learning Krav Maga, it looks fun. Other than that, orgo has yet again taken over my life as I'm retaking (or should I say reretaking)orgo one this summer and taking orgo 2 for the first time. I barely have time to do anything but orgo labwork, orgo problems, sleep, eat and excercise. I've also been cleaning and stuff around the house because I realize that my parents haven't really been cleaning much and in spite of my messy tendencies, I like things to be clean, even if they are cluttered. I miss having my own place and I miss all of my friends, but with any luck and a lot of hard work, I'll get A's in both orgos and it will be worth it.
