11 July 2008

I was watching Gilmore Girls with my mom and brother tonight. It felt strange to be watching with them for some reason. Well, my brother's seen it before. And I know it's family-proof, but it was the fifth season, and I'm protective of my brother, and I feel weird watching romantic/relationship-y stuff around my mom because she always hassles me about that kind of thing enough already.

I did ask them if they liked it, and they said yes, although my mom did ask, "But why do they talk so fast?"

I got a shot today. I got it during my "student physical" which is technically the second physical I've had this year because USC requires a physical sixth months or less prior to the start date, and six months and two weeks is just too far off. Oh, I'm going to USC this fall. I don't think I've mentioned that yet. So my shot wasn't too big of a deal, actually. My tetanus/diphtheria/pertussis booster, which I need five years or less from the start date, even though I'm not due for a renewal until a year or two from now. Anyway, the prick itself was quick and painless, but my arm right now is killing me! It hurts when I barely move it, and is WAY painful when I actually need to use my left arm. I'm not sure if it's supposed to hurt this much. It isn't going away. It's been several, several hours. My mom says it might last for a few days. A few days?! Boo. I was so going to get my blood drawn tomorrow, too. But I don't want two sore arms. Especially not on the day Christian and I are going out to dinner to celebrate his birthday! Ok, it isn't that big of a deal. But I don't get to go out to nice dinners too often anymore, now that I'm broke. And supposed to be saving money. (Oops.)

Living in this house isn't the same without my dad. I can't see the rooms the same way, or have the same excitement to go home, or enjoy my time in it as much. A home isn't much of a home when a family is broken.

Goodness I don't mean to be so depressing or negative on my blog all the time. I guess it's just where I go when I want to say something but don't feel it's significant enough to tell anyone.

I HATE graduate school applications and letters of recommendation!!! They demand way too much and they never receive all the crap I sent them. So I have to re-send them. More money, more time, more patience wasted. More delay on the review of my apps. More chance I won't get in. And stupid bosses and teachers that are not on top of the letter of recommendations!! How many times do I have to nag?! ARGHHHH.

I frickin better get in after all this hassle.

Some life-changing decisions have been made recently. Or at least landmark decisions.

Oh, and I have just officially achieved one of my goals I meant to accomplish before graduating!

Hrm I hate blogger and how I have to be vague in order to feel like I'm not bragging.

It's not that big though. Really.

Oh well, whatever. I will just write this for my own sake, because I am happy. 3.5 GPA!! Yay!! :) (teehee it rhymes)

This has been a good week :) And to think that I would have been in New York, interviewing in 5 hours...instead of sitting here at home, awake at 4:30 in the morning, hair dripping as I have just finished showering. Staying up late, sleeping in late...playing board games and cards with my brother while watching old TV shows...playing Knights of the Old Republic with Christian (and maybe I'll actually finish this one!) and watching crazy good movies...falling asleep to Gilmore Girls on my laptop in bed...I love break :)

ok it is officially 6 am and i still cannot fall asleep.

i hate when you know you have to wake up early the next day, and it's already getting late, and you know you're supposed to be sleeping because the clock is ticking away, but you just CAN'T FALL ASLEEP!! all i can think about is how i'm losing sleep with each hour that goes by, and dreading how tired i'm gonna be the next day. boo.

someone sing me a lullaby..
