Tough Love.
Yesterday was apparently bowling day, because after I came home from bowling with the family, we ate dinner and I found out a girl I used to be in police explorers with was going bowling with a bunch of friends and wanted others to come along. I had a $2 off coupon, and I hadn't done anything all spring break, so I decided what the heck, I'll go. It was extreme bowling, so we didn't get there till 10:30. We bowled till around 1, and it was fun. There were about 11 people in our party, so we had 3 lanes. I think my high game was 119, which is pretty good for me. I got 2 strikes in the 10th frame in one game, I was so amazed. I wished my dad had been there to see it since he and I find bowling a very fun competitive sport (and he's pretty decent). Paul was there (a boy I dated back in 2006) working, so it was nice to see him again (although it brought back some old memories of sitting in a bowling alley eating french fries senior year). A boy I used to work with at McD's & a boy I know from school were also there bowling, so seeing them was cool also. Before we left, Steph and I watched some of her friends sing "Shook Me All Night Long" by ACDC in the bar. That was just hilarious.
I guess I kind of went to bed late last night (I didn't look at the clock so I don't know at exactly what time) because I slept in till noon. That wouldn't be a big deal normally, except that I wanted to go to Chris' benefit at 1 (and it's over an hour away). So I got up with intentions of going, and then remembered I had a biology lab I wanted to finish, and a critique to write up for lit. And I still needed to shower, and balance my checkbook. So I made the decision not to go, and although I feel bad about it, I think it was the smart decision (although I am ashamed that the main reason I wasn't able to go is because I slept in so late). But I told myself that since I didn't go, I would make the day very productive - and I did. I finished my lab (it only took a little over 2 hours), wrote and submitted the critique for lit, balanced my checkbook, cleaned up my room a little bit, and of course took a shower. Now the only thing I have to do is take some notes on a chapter for biology and study for Thursday's exam. My alarm is set for 9:30 am, so if I turn the lights out at 1, I'll be in for a good night's sleep!
Mom and I watched Tough Love tonight on VH1. We saw it last week and became engrossed in it, and decided we were going to watch it together every week. It's interesting, especially for me since hey, I am single (my mother has been happily married for 26 years so she doesn't need to watch the show). But it's still fun for her to watch, plus it's mother-daughter time which is always nice. We flipped to "Without a Face" on Discovery Health during the commercials and it was so sad but beautiful. I say beautiful because you could really see love exhibited with the family, so that was encouraging. But sad for obvious reasons (the little girl on the show was born with a severely deformed face and always needed physical/occupational therapy, and surgeries, etc.)
Tomorrow it's back to school after a week of spring break. I only have two classes, but I want to run to the bank and send some mail before class. Then I just plan on getting lunch with Amanda (as always) and studying for biology until it's time to come back home for dinner. It sounds like it will be a pretty laid-back, stress-free Monday...and I hope I'm right! This week actually should be pretty relaxed. I did a bunch of homework over break and am ahead on some of my assignments, so I hope that benefits me this week (since I should be studying for those 3 major exams coming up). Wow I just remembered that in 7 weeks, my junior year of college will be over. That's crazy.... goodnight.
