YOU LIKE EVERYTHING YOU DO TO BE A CHALLENGE!!!
Please post memories about me in my comments, as everyone else has been doing, and ask for memories in your own journal. I really like this idea, and i'm insterested to see what everyone has to say.
my mom is being insane again, telling me i'm an idiot and selfish and all that crap for no reason. and that i don't spend any time at the new house, which... i don't. (actually, i discovered today that they apparently changed the number at the new house while i was away in europe because they were getting all these phone calls for the wrong people, and everybody forgot to tell me???) so she threatens to take my phone, my car... it's pretty pathetic. i think it's because she's already starting to miss me. i, of course, could not be more thrilled about college, and i've been spending as much time as possibly lately at swat... trying to get work done... yeah...
i'm totally overwhelmed by all the work i have for school, partially because it's the end of the year, and partially because of all the days i missed with europe and swat and writing. which were worthy causes, i'm just behind. very behind. and i know there's some things i should just let go, but i'd like to get a's wherever possible so i won't have to take finals. i'm also having a lot of money problems lately. maybe i'll win the lottery? i think i might buy some scratch offs... ;) i probably won't be in school tomorrow, i'm just totally unprepared. and i need to prioritize. and i need more time for fun things. i'm backing out of martin's prom. i really wanted to go, but i just can't do it... and i feel really bad about it, actually. there's just too much right now.
school today was relatively good, and i had a long debate with a pro-life woman (at the "volunteer fair"), which was disturbing and disheartening but interesting, nonetheless... it just amazes me whenever i take into consideration the republican abstinent trying-to-be-something-they'll-never-be box that contains the people of springfield....
"ooh, get me away from here, i'm dying..."
i need some college.
