4.0
hell yeaaa
too bad it only raised my cumulative gpa like one tenth of a point to a 3.7
Anyways, I kicked off summer by going to the LA County Museum of Art with my mom. It was really neat, but I think that it was a little too big lol. They had a lot of things closed that I would've really liked to see, like their entire Latin America exhibit and their entire Japanese art building. I was really excited though because they had an exhibit there that i didn't know was going to be there and they had all these pieces that I've studied and never thought i'd ever get to see. That and the German Expressionist art was the best part. I love German art because it is very expressive. If you think about it, they are really very passionate people. I really want to go to Germany one day and see all their art.
When I took my art final on Monday i saw a flyer in the art building for an art history trip to europe at a really great price and it wasn't just for students. i totally jumped the gun and asked bret if he could go and he even asked for the 2 weeks off for the trip. i didn't realize he wouldn't be getting paid for that time, and when i did it completely changed my mind. I really really really want to go to Europe, but they werent going certain places that I really want to go. Paris wasn't even a stop! The Louvre is in Paris and is one of the most comprehensive art museums in the world! So we decided not to go. When i explain to people why we're not going, I tell them it's like going to the zoo and only seeing the zebras. If you're there, you may as well see the giraffes too, because how often do you go to the zoo?
Now that I'm done with school, I'm working at Pierce 5 days a week for 6 hours a day so I can get off at 2. I know I should be working full time, but I know that after I graduate I'll have the rest of my life to work full time and now that my parents are getting divorced it might be a lot sooner than that, so I want to enjoy it while I can. They have me doing San Antonio Community Hospital, San Antonio Ambulatory Center, St Mary's Medical Center and Pacific Eye Institute so I have a lot to get done, which is why I dont think i can cut back any more than I'm doing now. I like my job, i really do, but sometimes it's just really really boring.
Tomorrow is my sister's 21st birthday. I'm so excited for her and I hope she's as excited as me and my mom are for her. She seems really down lately and it bothers me because I just wish she'd be happy and want to celebrate. Today when my mom picked me up from work we went to Party America and got her these giant 40" balloons in the shape of a 21 and a regular mylar balloon that says happy birthday on it. i was going to keep them in my room until tomorrow morning and put them in her room before I left for work, but those bitches were so huge they would've taken up my whole room, so we left them in the living room for her to see when she got home. I think she was surprised haha.
Bret is leaving for Chicago for his birthday in August. His parents are meeting him there and they are going to go to a Cubs game at Rigley Stadium. When he told me that they were actually going to spend all that money on his birthday, my mouth almost fell to the floor. I would say I'm jealous because my parents never did anything like that for me, but I'm not. In fact, if my parents wanted to do that for me I'd tell them no because I think it's unreasonable. I think it's weird. But if it makes him happy I'll drop him off at the airport and pick him up.
His parents were in town last weekend on business and he saw them for a while. Since the whole fiasco during the holidays and after his great grandmother's funeral, I haven't spoken to either of them. I didn't send a Mother's Day or Father's Day card and I really dont have any intention of speaking to them until I really really have to. I dont mind Bret doing it, or leaving to go see them, or whatever it is he does, just as long as he comes home to me in a reasonable time lol.
I forgot to mention that I cut my hair! I cut it about 2 weeks ago and my hair stylist took off about 3 inches. I like it alot, but i have a really hard time styling it and getting it to keep any kind of curl. I was thinking of taking some more length off next time I get it cut, but nothing drastic. It sounds cliche, but getting my hair cut was so liberating. I felt all new and lighter and even though no one wanted me to do it, I did it and it felt great.
I think it's reading time. Now that it's summer, I can actually read for fun and not for studying... so yay!
