Home for the Holidays (part 2)
Shopping with my mom went well. We got everything except something for my bratty little cousin. I say a lump of coal but my mom won't. My grandfather come out of the hospital today. He has a check up tomorrow and next Wednesday he has to have some sort of funny word surgery but he's going to be okay. They really came down hard on him about his smoking and my grandma is making him quit, no ifs ands or buts about it. It's cute b/c she's so small and he's a lot bigger than her but what she says goes. She came over earlier and helped my mom wrap Christmas Presents (my usual job) which is relieving b/c now I only have one more to wrap b/c I told them I'd wrap that one myself. I'm not babysitting tomorrow. Something happened and now they don't need me. OH well.
I went to that Christmas party earlier. It sucked! I used to love Sarah's Annual Christmas Parties b/c we'd have safe, clean fun and people weren't invited just b/c of their name. We'd just sit around and play dumb games and talk. And most of that was b/c in 10th grade (she decided to start having them) she decided to actually have a non-alcoholic party and be different. WELL for some reason this year it stopped being non-alcoholic and it was dumb. Unless you enjoy getting wasted. I wasn't there 5 mins b/f the liquor got brought out and cheap wine and beer. One good thing is that I knew this party would never get busted. I didn't even had to think about it. And even when most of the idiots get wasted and have to driving home, no one will stop them. Everyone just looks away from the drugs and alcohol. And I think what killed me the most was the girls drinking wine and trying to act sophisticated. I mean really? You are in a really small cabin on the Edisto River or outside standing by a fire and drinking $5 wine out of plastic cups. That is SCREAMS sophistication to me. Really! They haven't changed one bit. So what we are in college now. I think I said it best when I was talking to Lucas "they are nearing 20 and 21 and they still act like they are 17 year olds trying to be in their 20s". In ways it just disappointed me b/c this is one thing that I actually enjoy this time of year and it was like every other event that I attended in high school and not that the parties I went to in hs were all that bad... I've just grown out of that. Ok enough venting. It's not going to help them grow up. Wishing I were in Rock Hill. <3
Oh and I got a 3.35 gpa for this semester. Not wonderful but oh well it's done and past.
