Bad News For Me.

So... bad things have been happening. Hopefully everything will get better soon enough. I talked to my parents about my grades the other day, and it's pretty much been determined that if I want to go back to school, I have to pay my own way for a semester to pick up my grades. I'll be paying for tuition, books, dorm, and possibly even my meals. Even worse is that I can't afford it right now. Even if I get a job this summer, I won't be making enough to pay for all of it. Also, it means that I won't be able to buy a car. I reeeeeeeeally wanted a car. Really really wanted a car. Let's take a moment to mourn my loss. ... . However, we do have 4 cars now, because my grandparents are pretty much giving us their van. This means, one suburban is for my dad, my brother has his truck, and my mom will take the van, leaving the second suburban for myself and Rachel. And, of course, this will create a problem. Yeah, Rachel's in here with me and she just told me that she "NEEDS" the car so she can drive it to work... and so that it can sit in the parking lot for 6 hours. See, it's been one day and we're already having problems. I "NEED" the car so I can go apply for jobs and continue my education. Hopefully we'll both be able to be civil about this. I still really need my own car. I'm thinking of suggesting that we sell my mom's suburban and replace it with a smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle... that I could then take with me to college. :D Anyway, I'll complain more later. Man, I am soooo good at that.

Busy, busy, busy.

I feel like I've been rushing around all week, and the moments that I'm not rushing around I spend showering. I honestly can't remember anything that happened before girls' night, though, which was AWESOME. I mean, I'm not sure that there was ever a moment that night that I wasn't laughing hysterically. Wednesday was the Lost season finale, which I missed that night, but watched yesterday before X3, and it was AWESOME. X3... could have been better. I was a little disappointed with a few things, but it was still okay. I'll have to watch it again to really decide, and try not to sit in the front row next time... Today is Rachel's graduation party, and then tomorrow is her graduation, and Sunday is my cousin Melissa's graduation. Then Monday I'll nap. I missed Lizzie's graduation today because her school is stupid. They had all the doors locked so I couldn't get in since I skipped the mass. That's what I get for being such a heathen. :/ Oops. Time to pick up my mom. :S

I'm so last summer.

It didn't even hit me until I was actually halfway home on Saturday as to what summer means. I mean, usually I'm sitting there praying for summer to come faster, but this time around it never even occured to me. I'm free. No more going to class. No more walking down four flights of stairs and then back up them if I want to eat lunch. No more tests. No more studying. No more of anything. If I wanted to, I could just sit around my house all day and stare at walls and not have some pressing issued staring me down waiting to be taken care of. Of course, I'm going to try and get a job, and next summer semester I'm going to be taking courses at BC (hopefully). I've only been home for 5 days, though, and I'm already missing CS, as enchanting as the City of Enchantment is. It hasn't exactly been a very good starting week, though. Hopefully I'll pull myself together and fix things before they avalanche. I haven't even finished unpacking, yet. The problem with that is that my closet and drawers are all full of random things Rachel put there, so in order to do anything I have to clean those out first. Which is most unfortunate. And really hard to bring myself to do. Also, we still don't have the internet working at my house. I'm at Ashley's right now while she and her mom are doing something at the bank. Laura's watching TV in the living room and Buffy is licking herself on the desk in front of me. Gross, Buffy. Gross.

Anyway, Ross's final Midsummer Night's Dream performance is tonight, so hopefully I can find a way to make that. Four years of performing the same play. Poor guy. In other news, I almost died last night. Yeah. I definitely stepped on a rattlesnake. It was scary. Now take the time to ponder what your lives would be like without me. Worse*, I suppose. Don't lie to yourselves...

* The term "worse" can sometimes be translated as "better"

Like. Whoa.

I haven't slept in 72 hours, nor have I eaten in 48. Well, I've had about 4 hours of sleep, and I ate once last night, but then it all came back up in the middle of the night... not good. Tomorrow I go home. I think it's good that I'm leaving.

P.S. - I'm going crazy. I just talked to my voicemail message because I thought it was an actual phone conversation, and I got mad at the message for interrupting me. It was weird...

I knew I should have worked out this semester.

An excerpt from a conversation I had with my mother a couple hours ago:

Mom: "Did I wake you up?"
Me: "No, I was just laying down."
Mom: "You know, I don't like the idea of you sleeping in the middle of the afternoon."
Me: "Uh... why not?"
Mom: "Well, you could be studying or something."
Me: "Why would I want to do that?"
Mom: "Don't you have an exam to study for?"
Me: "Mom, my last exam was on Friday."
Mom: "Well, when is your next exam?"
Me: "... Next semester."

Ahh... yeah. I don't know if she just doesn't pay attention to me when I say these things or if she completely forgets. Anyway, in case anyone else was unclear, I'm done. For good. Freshman year is over for me. I probably won't be home until Saturday evening, although I have something in the works that could give me the option of coming home on Thursday night. So... we'll see. In that case, though, I'd be moving out completely by myself, so I'm a little deferred from that. Of course, Saturday's only plus would be that my mom would be helping me. Also Saturday's traffic won't be bad, since everyone will pretty much be already gone. I'm getting really excited about this summer, though. I'll be sad to leave, but this summer should be awesome. Fingers crossed.

This is the end. This story's old but it goes on and on until we disappear.

I'm done. It's the end of the semester for me. All I have left is trying to cover all my points for CARPOOL so I don't get kicked out. I decided to stay up all night last night, and I nearly succeeded, but somehow I managed to pass out around 6 something and I woke up 10 minutes before my Geography final at 7:30. I freaked out and threw on clothes, grabbed my bag, and ran to class. I made it on time, so it was no big deal, and I think I totally killed that thing, but I definitely got raped by the Nutrition final. So, that's too bad for me. But it's not a big deal, I planned on grade excluding it anyway. When that ended Ashley and I hopped a bus and rode it to Fish Pond to eat in the Underground, and I went back to my room and passed out for as long as possible. I woke up to pick up cars for CP at 5:45, then went to dinner with some people and came back here to figure out a way to make my shirt not so wrinkled and smelly. I couldn't wash it or just pop it in the dryer because I don't have any quarters or any way to get quarters. So now I'm about to leave to spend another night with CP and drunk people so I can get all my nights in. Bleh. Then tomorrow I wake up early to get to the apartment at 9 to return some rental cars, then come back here and sleep, and then be back there at 2 to clean and get some points for that. Ugh. Man. I can't wait for Sunday. That'll be such a relief.

Disdain for my lack.

So, someone was number 10,000. If no one comes forward to claim their $10 prize, then it'll just go to Trevor since he was 1 away. And 2 away. Even though when I made the post there were only about 9,000 on the counter, some of you tried to cheat your way up. Shame on you. Anyway, if I don't find out who it was by this Saturday, then I'll just give it to Trevor. Be thinking about what you'd want.

It's burning hot up here in CS. I just got back from lunch at Rumour's and we've decided to go on a ghost tour this summer, and it's going to be AWESOME. I have a huge list of things to do this summer, and there's no way I'll have enough time for them with a job and classes. So... bleh. But if nothing else I want to do this ghost tour. I was actually in the LJ this Monday so that I could apply for jobs, but that didn't work out well at all, and I won't be back in town until the 13th to apply, and even then I couldn't apply until the following Monday, the 15th.

So here's the breakdown for me of the remainder of my time here at A&M this semester:

Today and Thursday will be spent studying for the two finals I have on Friday, and ultimately the only two finals I have to take.

Friday at 7:30am is my first final, and that's Geography, which is cumulative (ew). Then at 12:20, I have my Nutrition exam, which is also cumulative (double ew. Hahaha. It's like double-u... but it's not... Whatever, you know you laughed.) Then Saturday, I technically should be able to leave, but I won't be able to because I don't have a ride. Therefore, the entire next week will be spent in solitude because everyone else will be studying for finals and packing up and then going home. I, however, will ask for an extension on how long I can stay in the dorm (because they expect us out of here by Thursday, and I can't get a ride until that Saturday), and slowly pack my things up and clean everything around here. Which is very very unfortunate for me. Once 5:30 on Thursday rolls around I will be one of very very few people that are still on campus. Poor unfortunate me. This is one of the reasons why I need a car. I think during that week I'll prepare a presentation so I can convince my dad that I should be allowed to buy a car. I mean, heck, I'll have an entire freaking week. Oh, I just found out that Cristen is going to be staying until Saturday, too. Yay! I won't be alone!

I can't believe the year is almost over. I'll be a sophomore... in college. I'm so old. I need to settle down soon. I'm almost past my prime.
