Happy Holidays
It's been quite a time since I have updated. That means more than one thing to me. It means that I HAVE NOT been keeping up with my once a week treatment of home threapy for myself. (that's not to say that I would have been going to a therapist right now anyways... so I should let it go) However I feel bad beause I should still have been able to continue with all this being as that I am using my own personal device... it's not like I have to be home or online to type something up on the top and then transfer it later. Which I have not been doing. Yet I do not want to dwell on this fact. I don't want to so a "threapy" session right now either. I just want to do an update, and save the threapy (maybe) for getting back to campus.
1. Holidays are here and I just got back from Europe (a little over a week ago) from studying abroad this past semester.
2. Christmas is going to be interesting this year because
a) I'm not going to see extended family this Christmas, we're outcasts remember? and
b) We don't have a tree and we probably won't have a tree this year, and finally
c) My parents are spending the most on this Christmas than they ever have before because they don't have to buy for the extended family as well.
3. I have been endlessly searching for a job for these few weeks that I am home.
4. Reserve Jury Duty also is happening this week.
5. I have a doctor's appointment this week as well.
6. Even though I got all of my Christmas shopping done while I was over seas, I have still gone out shopping many times in order to help the rest of the family buy what each other wants... it's called a christmas list after all...
I have been ordering and recieving my books for next semester already (ouch on the prices)
I'm panicking about what to do with my life after college.
Mom and dad have been informed and accept the fact that I am DILLIGENTLY looking into summer undergraduate research programs all over the country for this up and coming summer.
However it's possible that I will be doing it this and next summer...or just this summer or just next summer, but somewhere in there IT WILL BE COMPLETED...sometime at some university/college.
I have found myself becomming increasingly fedup with my parents behavior and have called them out on it now that I am home.
as a part of that I believe that me being in another country for a while has made me see the importance of speaking up at home and standing up for my individual beliefs while at home, yet still trying to be the peace keeper is a priority goal of mine.
I'm still waiting on Target to call me back after I have taken a drug test and everything... I need to start to make money to pay off Europe...
Finacially, I'm worried about how much debt I'm in, both from credit cards (Europe) and private loans (tution).
I have been preparing to get back to UE ever since I set foot in my house.
Cleaning is a major project for me these next few days...bathrooms and livingrooms are d-i-s-g-u-s-t-i-n-g.
Packing will be a major project, besides I'll be gone as long if not longer in IN as I was in England.
I am becomming more politically open and upsetting my conservative father.
Although I don't want to outright admit it (I am here) I can't wait to be back at campus, in a life I enjoy, living in a lab with nail-biting due dates (because that's how I seem to get things done the best) and the motivation to do better things.
Besides all of these things that are running around in my head, that I am researching like the summer research, or doing like looking for a job and writing Mom's christmas cards on the computer for her, I have been also seeing people while I am home for the holidays.
Brittany was the first person I set out to see. Hanging out with her let me to run into String bean Brian and Gina, who are FINALLY engaged. It took them long enough. Then after a good time at Webbs, her and I waited for her beau and I saw Ben for the first time in about four years. That reminds me...double date needs to be set up....
I visited Kevin, (and Janet and saw a little of Jenni) was thrilled to spend some time with one of my favorite guy friends... still need to get in contact with Tim...
I saw Kj, Pt, Mom and Dad and exchanged Christmas presents, one down I think only one more to go...
I need to get in contact with Barb because I haven't seen her since last time I was home for Christmas last year...
I'm thinking that then I can start to see some of the same people (Like Brat to give her her gift I have...) and to see some people I haven't in FOREVER like Emily maybe.
I'm also looking forward to seeing James and spending some time down there with his friends and family.
I'm in pretty good spirits right now. Things could be only better if I was sitting some where with him at the moment. Otherwise Life at the moment is good. Target please call soon. hehe
