Today

You know, it's truly the little things that make me happy. I'm not that hard to please or to entertain, really. Me and Mom sat around/did chores/watched 16 & Preggers till about 5 o clock today. Then we went over to Grandma's and went with her over to Steve and Michele's.

We got into a huge discussion/debate/rant/slash about the fact that my 86 year old great- grandmother (who believes that prostitutes moved in across the street from her-in her senior citizen condo complex, gives her debit card number+security code out over the phone to strangers, and burns everything she cooks) has just put $9,000 down on a HOUSE. She bought a house. Oy. She was convinced that it was an epic, amazing idea by my Grandma's older brother that it would be a great idea. Most of her other siblings are furious and want to kill him, but she's gonna do what she's gonna do. It's just not a good idea. So, we all got into a huge discussion about that.

Then we went back over to Grandma's and watched a movie together. It was just a really simple, low key day, and I liked it. My life is not exciting...but I had a good day. :) Now I should start doing some of my homework/papers/final exam prep. Boo.

Being Thankful

I've decided that in order to be happier, I have to make an active effort to recognize all of the great things I have in my life and to remind myself how lucky I am. I have to remind myself so I can be aware of how thankful and appreciative I really am. Here we go.

Today so far I'm thankful for not being in high school...I'm no longer surrounded, constantly, by drama and by stupid people that I HAVE to be around. I can choose to just say screw it and walk away from the situation, or, in many cases, just ignore the person. I love being an adult and being away from the stupidity of high school. I don't have to sit in those stupid classes for 8 hours a day, I can wake up later, I get to work and make money, I have entire days where I can do what I want or need to do...it's a beautiful thing.

I'm also thankful for friday night dinners at Noodle's! She's grilling me barbecued chicken tonight because it's what I want for dinner :) Teehee.

And, cuddles with my little dog :) Best cuddles, EVER. :)

Sucky Stuff

Well, I wish I could write a peaceful blog about how happy I am and how everything's going swell, but it's not, so I won't. Thank God this semester is coming to a close (got about 2 weeks left), but my grades are not as good as they could be. I honestly don't know if I will be passing Statistics, but probably not. At least not with a 2.0. I might might MIGHT be able to if I ace my test tomorrow morning (which I won't) and ace the final (which I won't). Sorry, I'm being negative, but I really can't help it.

I aced my two papers for The Child w/ Special Needs, but I kinda figured I would. I'm a good writer. She even asked me if she could use my FAT City paper as an example for future classes. Score, haha. But it looks like my final grade in that class will be at or around a 76 percent, which is passing, but not passing greatly. I don't know how I ended up doing so badly in that class, I really don't. I basically bombed the open note tests, which turned out to be harder than they should be.

So far we have no grades in the art of being human. Our only grades will be the packet of questions he gave us and our final exam which is a written paper. So help me GOD I am getting a 4.0 in that course. So help me God.

And, last but not least, Spanish. I hope to pull at least a 95% in there, hopefully higher. I've gotten A's on all my tests and expect no less than that for my final grade.

With the hopes of Spanish and Art of Being Human, I'm hoping to keep up my GPA moderately. I hope my statistics grade doesn't affect my fin. aid eligibility. I don't think it will, since my attendance has been basically impeccable and that's the first time I've ever not gotten a completely passing grade in a course. I should call the financial aid office. But I don't want to hear bad news.

Everything in my personal life is kind of going to hell, too. I have no friends. I do absolutely nothing. D:

I really am SO boring. I never blog about anything important lol.
