On Wednesday, my grandfather had a massive heart attack. I had to rush my mother and I out to the high desert and be by his side, etc. I came back late Thursday night while everyone else went back on Friday. He's been on life support since Wednesday and last I heard he wasn't doing very well at all. I believe he died last night. That's been the reason for the lack of updates. I've been too tired taking care of everything to write. His death comes three years to the month that his wife, my grandmother died. Could this come at any better of a time? Not only do I not feel in the Christmas spirit, but we are reminded of two deaths. My great-grandfather died earlier this year, on my 18th birthday. *sigh*
School registration started on Thursday and was I notified? Nope! Not only was I given the wrong registration date, but my tuition hasn't been paid (see above) and I am now assed out. I don't particularly want to petition every class. I have a two potential schedules planned out. Take a look here. I'm keeping all my classes on two days because I'm trying to leave as much room as possible open to work. Only having 2 classes a day seemed like a waste this semester. Half the time I usually only had one. Major waste of my time. I am also prone to ditching a class, so I am more likely to actually go to class if they are all in one shot. I'm also saving to move out. You can stop laughing now. I really am. My dad is trying to get me out. He knows I want to rip out my hair whenever I'm at home. This weekend I sort of felt like I was on my own. Whatever.
I don't really know what it is about not being able to write in a paper journal, but I can write here. I think one reason is I type a hell of a lot faster than I write. I can't STAND writing anything out that's more than a page. Taking notes = bah! Give me a laptop any day. I attempted two journals in the past year and neither was successful. I usually have so much to say that I can't write fast enough and then I loose my though. Typing is much faster and I'm usually always near this beast of a machine, so it's convenient.
I can't stand the "oldies" and *gasp* a lot of the Beatles, but I bought the I am Sam soundtrack and I can't stop listening to it. Well, Howie Day is on it, but he only sings "Help!" Ben Harper sings "Strawberry Fields Forever" and Rufus Wainwright sings "Across the Universe." Wowza! That song is really amazing. The whole CD puts me in a different mindset. It helps me forget what's going on right now.
Oh yeah, and my friends like to ignore me. "Call me if you're bored." Ring ring, "Oh sorry, I'm busy tonight." F#*#^@*$(%. Support city right there. Yay for Amanda's friends.
