So here I am writing this same damn paper I struggled so much to get a rough draft out of weeks ago. My teacher is still at the high school level and is letting me pass it in tomorrow. Talk about luck. But I still am only a paragraph or two farther then weeks ago. And now I have 8 hours and 40 minutes to finally make this paper my bitch. Hah. Like I've ever been good at making anything in my life my "bitch"? haha.
So I'm attempting the writing to get my fingers flowing and hope it will continue onto this paper route once again. I'm in a better mindset this time. I'm thinking of home. "Can't forget about you" by Nas came on, and I came here immediately. I've been catching up with everything at school lately, and have (sort of) been actually going to class and what not. Today I slipped back into the I just want to sleep mode, and missed two classes. Then ran to my third for a test on Christianity that I will most likely fail, but I'm hoping for a C. Hell, I need a C.
Thanksgiving break was nothing I wanted it to be, but the weekend was some of the most fun I've had here. Crazy nights drinking and driving around trying to get more alcohol after 2am.. when the alcohol gets shut off. It was hilarious to say the least. Good stories, but I went into the break with such a positive focused mindset, and came out with the same slacker style I've been flaunting for years. Now, there are two weeks left until finals, and they aren't going to last long. I'm really looking forward to the semester ending. It's so much more exciting when you know that the classes will finally be over, and my mind will rest for a month. Of course, most of you already know this feeling. Looking forward to going home and seeing friends and family would top it off, I'm sure.
It is sad to think that I won't have that same exact feeling of a month at home, with a normal Chrissy, but I'm still looking forward to the break. I'll be able to work as my heart desires, and we all know that is as much as possible. It will be nice to be available to work all 7 days instead of just 5.. and having a change in schedule in general. One of the hostesses above me that has been working lunch shifts every weekend just quit, sadly, so it's a huge move up for me. I'm pretty excited besides the fact that she was one of my favorite girls to work with. I just want to move up as soon as possible because server over the summer= making bank. Kel and Amanda, you're not working at the wrong restaurant, you're working in the wrong state. $8 minimum wage for everyone, yes, including servers. On top of tips. I'm stoked.
My family, more specifically my sisters, are so cute and creative and just plain the best. Since I can't be home for the many Chrissies we will have (Jessy is going to Australia for the actual xmas day so the first one is on Dec. 22nd or so, and then of course regular xmas, and then one for when I come home in Jan.), my sisters decided to give me twelve days of Christmas by sending me a present for twelve days, with the rhymes and everything. On the first day of Chrismas, my family sent to me, an excuse to eat chocolate in the morning. An advent calendar. It's metallic and, very fitting, a snowman. I think I'm getting my next one tomorrow, but I'm not sure if they are doing random days or the actual first twelve days of Chrissy. Either way, it's definitely inspiring me to get into the spirit more then usual this year. I'm going to go get a little potted Chrissy tree tomorrow to put all of my pressies under. I got my present from my g-rents already too, so I'm saving that one for actual Christmas.
Anywho, I think my rambling here is over. I miss you all and want to come home now. I hope you all had a good Turkey day :) Mine was pretty uneventful, yet so distracting, hence how it didn't go as I planned. but unimportant nonetheless. microwave stuffing and a The Ruins was it's extent.
Off to write into the even more later hours of the early morning than it already is.
Love
Heath Bar.
