Okay, so it's been a while since I've updated. I guess it's due to just getting back to school and settling back into the routine again after that nice little vacation. Surprisingly, this week has gone very fast. That's a good thing because at this point I have lost all motivation and enthusiasm for this place. I hate my classes and I am just bored ( Read more... )

 Today is Thanksgiving and I am very excited. When I compare Christmas and Thanksgiving, I see two totally different things. OKay, well obviously they celebrate different things. But I guess I'm looking at how we celebrate them and what they've grown into over the years. In this moment, if I had to choose, I would say Thanksgiving is better. Sure, ( Read more... )

 Sunday morning was nice and quiet, but then mom called and asked me to meet her at the mall in Middletown to look for some things. She really wanted me to find a winter coat.  I got to see her new car ( a civic) and then we walked around with her getting more of her crazy socks and me finally getting some long-sleeve shirts. Most of the things she ( Read more... )

 With a sigh of relief (?) I can say I am home. It's nice to sleep in my own bed, play with the cats and sneak up and give Dad hugs. I fell asleep last night at 8, probably due to lack of sleep and stress from this past week. The bus ride home was pretty uneventful and fast. I was expecting the bus to be packed, but surprisingly, it wasn't. I think ( Read more... )

 This morning I got up and went to the bathroom and came back, shutting the common room door, then our door, and hopping into my bed. 20 minutes later, I heard something that sounded like our door opening. I freaked out and wondered and if I had shut it all the way. Then I realized I hadn't locked our bedroom door like Katie always does. Nothing ( Read more... )

 Today's a little bit weird in Oneonta. It was actually nice earlier, with a lot of sun and a nice breeze. Right now, though, it's overcast and it looks like it could squal any minute on the surrounding hills. Maybe rain? It's kind of nice. I like days like this because I can just sit inside with our white Christmas lights, bundle up on the couch ( Read more... )

Listening to Christmas carols can definitely brighten anyone's mood. Well, maybe not Katie's, but she's not human so she doesn't count. The past few days have been kind of crazy. Last week I talked to my professor about my poor grades and we scheduled an appointment together so I could go over things with him. I met with my advisor to go over my ( Read more... )

Yesterday was by far one of the best days I've had in a while. I had class and work all day and even accomplished some homework during my lobby hours in the afternoon. I knew I had to get my journal response done before we went and saw Stephanie Tanner! Katie and I got into a little tiff which became a little heated as I started thinking about the ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning to a nice $100.00 overdraft charge on my checking account. I usually know how much I start out with, so I try not to spend more than that, but sometimes I forget or I just think I have more in there than I really do. It's just a recipe for disaster. I should have checked the account sooner, but being the lazy college student ( Read more... )

 I'm trying so hard right now. Katie is pretty much the hardest person to make friends with. She reminds me so much of my stepfather and I hate it. She's moody and stubborn, not to mention judgemental and opinionated. I try to read her and see what's going on inside that head, but it's damn near impossible. I always feel like I have to walk around ( Read more... )
