Tuesday afternoon before work, I studied for a while. Then I tried to sleep a little but couldn't. So I read, She Said Yes: The Unlikely Martyrdom of Cassie Bernall the story of Cassie Bernall's death at Columbine. It was really quit interesting on many levels. It gives an interesting view of both teenagers and parents. Part of me wonders if she said yes at the moment right before her death because of a lack of wanting to continue to live. Not necessarily a death wish for herself but not stopping it either. I wonder about the mother's interpretation of her daughter's actions. Though I wonder, I still respect her mother's, the author's, opinion. At work that night, I got trained on register which was cool, now I have more options for being available for working which should hopefully equate to more hours.
On Wednesday I finished my Spanish class for the summer. The exam was quite draining, almost three and a half hours of a single Spanish exam. By the end, I barely cared what happened anymore. I spent the afternoon reading a little and doing somethings around home as well as taking a couple hours to go ice-skating with my two of my uncles and three of my little cousins. We had a blast. My uncles want to get together a hockey team to play in an amateur league. They asked me if I would play with them, but I will be in Paraguay by the time that they start playing. I love ice-skating. And this might be the last time in a long time that I get an opportunity to. Last night I went out with some high school friends. We had a blast. The strange thing is that even though we all changed, it felt really comfortable just to be together, the dynamics were different, we all have different lives than we had in high school and to some degree we even have different interaction styles, but it all worked out.
Today I slept in. I had some crazy-whacked-out dreams last night. I think that it may be because of the relief of the class finally being over in addition to getting a good full night of sleep. (IM me to get the lowdown on them if you're just dying of curiosity, they are too long to get into here) After going to the doctor to get a physical and coming home feeling as though there are a million things wrong with me, I went shopping with my dad. It was nice. I felt like I was a little kid going with my dad again. On Saturday mornings, he and my brother and I would go run errands to cool places like the junk store and the hardware store and the tractor supply store and the flea market. He still got to tell me new things too like when I was a little kid, this time it was how mole traps work to kill moles.
And tonight I got to play Shanghai with a friend, her parents and her aunt. We had a blast but only played the short version of the game because that even took a good 2 and a half hours. They teased me about not being able to eat. Tomorrow I am off to get the blood work, so I had to start fasting tonight. Hopefully it won't be the diabetes that my doctor thinks that it may be. So it has been a busy yet fun week.
