hey all. been awhile since i updated this with anything worth mentioning, so i figured tonight i'd write up a blog about my last week as if you all actually knew me in person and hung out with all my friends and everything. you probably won't recognize anyone; but this is more for my sake when i look back in the future. wednesday kinda sucked; there was a huge snow storm that closed everything. at dinner i got in a huge fight with my dad; i haven't really talked to him or looked at him since. can't say i want to, either. i know i should try; but i've tried before and it's basically pointless. he's simply too different to understand how much his actions hurt those around him... similar to my brother, who had the audacity to defend him. well, i've always hated him and don't like him any more now. i also got a call wednesday night from a friend who was out of town and needed me to take care of some emergency house sitting for their dogs and sick rabbit; the person who was doing it was unable to continue. they pay well; and though i hate dogs i did it thursday school was also canceled; my youngest brother and sister and i went over to the rental property and spent an hour + shoveling the sidewalks. then we ate lunch out; then came home. shoveled our driveway. i left after dinner to housesit; and watched Black Hawk Down while there. good movie, worth watching. friday i went to school; which was mostly a waste of my time. Seifert and Thurston had their example presentation during free period; which did help a lot as we prepare our Strategic Management cases. after Finance I went to lunch (around 2:30). I had been planning to head down south to YG as i told Lo i would; but then i decided it wasn't worth it to spend an hour in the car to see people who i mostly can't relate to anyway, so i called up maddie, brian and sarah and they came over for movie night take two. minus the movie, again. we all just sat around and talked and played cards and used the wii for a few hours; then everyone left and i went over to housesit. again. sarah and i forgot to eat our ice cream which sucked, but we'll have another chance later. saturday i got up early and went to pick up elise; then we went to church and met my brothers, brian, maddie and her mom to prepare dinner for the band from Roberts who was playing that night. it took us way too long; but it was good and we had fun doing it. sarah and deborah came early afternoon while i was out picking up pizza; then taylor showed up just in time to help us all serve them. we cleaned up and were out by around 7... or nine hours after we started. it was an insane day, but hella fun. sarah and I make a great foosball team, and basically owned my brother and deborah. repeatedly. housesitting again. i watched Starsky and Hutch. Was that Will Ferrell? sunday church in the morning; then homework early afternoon. ice skating with brother, nick, sarah, deborah, hannah, taylor, john, nate + new girlfriend, mike, david, and jackie. we had fun, as usual. we pulled the same jokes we always do, which always end up having a new and most amusing twist. deborah saw the love of her life but was too shy to say hi, unfortunately. nick and taylor and i continue our trandition of very scary conversations ("we could roleplay!"). we all have some fun with the older elementary crowd, preparing them for entrance into youth group. my youngest brother kills his knee. i take him home. no housesitting tonight, finally. monday, school. long day; 11:30 to 4:20. two boring classes; one long and good one... even if a few of the student in it are more longwinded and boring to talk to than i am. seriously, christina needs to think before she talks, and learn to only say something when she actually has something to say. and drop that stupid drawl, stoner. and charlie, when Seifert yawns during your comment you know you're overstepping your bounds. start talking like a real person and less like a dictionary. after class i talk to Seifert; he says he was very impressed with our first case but that we need to do more financials - but still the best he's read. yay? i worked hard on it. i always do. after school is over i head over to the place where i housesat; picked up check. they added a $60 tip - not bad. i made a lot of money for four days; it pays to watch houses for rich people. then to pick up Zach. then to kathleen's (maddie's mom... most amazing person, ever) for movie night where we watch movies. basically everyone was there minus sarah; and even eliza showed up. we watched Ocean's Eleven; Ghostbusters and Plan 9 From Outer Space. then played munchkin. overall solid fun; but nothing like saturday or skating. as crazy as ever, of course. we laughed a ton. but the movies made it harder to talk. then i took deborah home; then came home myself. these 10:00am to 11:30pm days will kill me eventually, but i love them. tomorrow is work at 9, classes at 3 and 6 and group meeting at 8:30... it'll last until around 11. yay? my schedule is officially hell. but it's good. plans for the next week are shaping up nicely; and even next weekend is beginning to fall into place. still don't talk to my dad, and who knows when i will... but that's okay. i don't need to. so yeah. that's my life. now i'm going to bed. |
