Temporary happily ever after?
My life has never been so smooth and contented. I know it can't stay this way forever, but I'm revelling in it while it lasts. Even when I'm tired and PMSing, as now, I'm happy deep down inside. Here's the rundown:
- Doing all right in school; going to classes, paying attention, understanding the material, turning in the homework, etc. etc. The attendance sheet on my wall and lack of a computer in my room is really, really helping beyond measure.
- Getting along with parents. Even managed to successfully study math with Dad last weekend, and there will be some sort of review tomorrow before the test. Not looking forward to that, but oh well.
- <3 my friends. Finally got to talk to Amy in Costa Rica for a bit on AIM, which was great because I've missed her terribly. Friends at home going through as much drama as usual, which means that I'll be going home a lot just to keep abreast of all the various situations (and be there if anyone happens to need me). Friends here are as cool as ever, although stressed about schoolwork because they took crazy-insane classes. *cough* LYS *cough* NICK *cough* RYAN *cough* Jessie, where the heck are you these days?
- Adam will be leaving next year, for at least a year, either attending college in Oregon or taking the year off. I'm glad. Not because I won't miss him terribly, but because he's miserable here and he needs to see that college doesn't have to be such a horrendous experience as he's having. He'll be able to pick up girls and make friends with ease anywhere but here.
Dances suck. I'll be glad when we're no longer freshmen and therefore too cool for these stupid things. And no, of course I'm not bitter that I've not even been asked to ONE yet. *grump grump grump* Boys suck even worse than dances.
Well, not all of them. But I mislike having to conduct any sort of relations over the phone. Virginia sucks more than boys and dances put together.
Pardon the junior-high command of English this morning. I'm exhausted and about to go to bed, but I wanted to keep this journal at least semi-up-to-date. Good thing I needn't be up til 10am tomorrow.
