I want to try to do blog everyday April again even though I know Maureen Johnson is doing it in August, and even though I have already missed the first couple days, and even though this is the last month of my semester I am going to try.
So I'm not really sure where I want to start on all of this. I can't even really remember where I left off or what random thing I was complaining about so I guess I'll start with a mini recap of what has happened in the last year.
It's actually really easy to do because last year I wasn't doing anything. I didn't know what I wanted to do and I didn't know how to get into doing anything. I sat around a lot and wanted to get up and do something but for the most part I didn't. I could be that I forgot a lot of interesting important things that I did because I know I wasn't as lazy as I seem to remember but the last year has been a bit of a black hole. I suppose this black hole ended around August. I decided that what I really needed to do was go back to school. I didn't have the money for this or anything but I knew that I needed to do something and school was going to be it even if I had to get crazy loans to do it. Step 1 was first talking to my sister who normally isn't much help about things unless she can get something out of it (that's not just sisterly talking I asked her about it once and her response was something along the lines of "why do something if I'm not getting anything out of it.") she was really encouraging and maybe set my sights a little high but I think that was actually a good thing she was trying to get me to apply to places like Columbia College in Chicago and University of Michigan Ann Arbor (Which is the more difficult of the two U of M's) my grades from Eastern totally ruin my chances of getting into either of those right now. So last August I went with my brother to Chicago because Casey had convinced me that I could totally get into any school I wanted and Nicky and I decided to randomly go to Chicago to look around and to check out Columbia. About halfway there I came to my sensed and realized that I would have to bring my grades up before I even think about trying to get into anyplace that doesn't have to take me. That realization didn't ruin the trip though, it was a good time, good sibling bonding. Actually that was one of the last times I got to really hang out with Nicky and enjoy his presence, even that time was a bit trying. He got his first girlfriend shortly after that trip and he hasn't been the same since. The entire time we were in Chicago she was calling and at that time she had a different boyfriend. I do not really like this girl and have some big issues with her but that is a tirade for another post. So anyway not a lot happened for a little while then at the end of September my Grandma died it wasn't really a shock, she'd been going downhill for a long time before that and she was 93 but at her funeral I had to talk to my dad's cousins who I'm not sure I had ever met or if I had I was very tiny but they wanted to know what I was up to and I didn't really have anything to say I think I muttered something about looking for a job but it was embarassing and I really don't want to have to so anything like that again (Obviously it won't be exactly the same because I'm out of grandparents to loose and I don't want to think about the alternatives so I'll go with when we have family reunions even though that side of my family hasn't had anything like that since the 80's when I was still tiny.) So I got back from New Hampshire, where we had the funeral, and enrolled in classes at Oakland Community College. And then I waited. I was too late to get in for the fall semester so I started in the winter semester. So the new year was really a time of change for me. I moved in with my mom who is way closer to the school then my dad is. I still don't have a job so I can't afford to move out on my own yet but I'm doing something proactive finally. So that's really it I went on a couple trips, my brother got a girlfriend, my Grandma died, I moved, I started school again (oh for anyone interested I'm mojoring in photography), I still don't have a job or boyfriend.
I know this post is a bit disjointed in the language, or at least it is in my head, but I'm not going to go back and change it now. I'm pretty sure I'll get better as the month goes on, assuming that I don't totally blow this off which I really hope that I don't because I actually do really like blogging it just is hard to actually sit down and do it...I don't know why. If anyone read this blog please let me know some stuff you'd be interested in me writing about otherwise you'll get bitchfests about my classes and reviews of movies.
