Oscar Wilde
I am so glad I got to escape for a little while today. Let's recap, shall we?
Wednesday: Stayed home from school, delt with drama with Mom and whatnot for a while before she got over it and we went to see Twilight. Somewhere in there I bought Christmas presents for Daniel and my Mom.
Thursday: Great Grandma, Grandma (Nanny), Mom and I. Four generations, three of which loathe one another. Just dandy. Use your imagination as to the mental anguish that was cast upon each of us that night.
"Oh, and Ashley, by the way, Aunt Kathy had a stroke and will be moving into an assisted living home."
Happy freaking Thanksgiving.
Friday: Shopping for Senior Dance dress, which was successful! Dinner at Grandpa's lake house. I got sick after dinner and fell asleep on the couch in front of the fire. Very relaxing. Woke up, ate pie, got sick, fell back asleep. Yipee Kiyay. Midnight deadline for the sport story I'm writing for Gazette.
Saturday: Eight hour shift, which turned into more of an eight and a half hour deal, all in drive thru. Must admit I had fun, even though I had to deal with some verbal sexual assaults -nothing I'm not capable of handling. Really needed to get out after work and had a decision to make. Ended up going home and then went to QT with some people and talked with a friend in need, though at the end of the conversation she said she wanted to kill herself. Great.
Sunday: Seven hour shift, followed by awkward crap with Daniel and then trying to figure out what I was going to do tonight, because I needed to leave. Ended up going out with John (Daniel's best friend and one of my closest friends as well) to St. Charles Main Street where we walked around in the sleet/snow and talked for an hour or so. Then we drove around for a while, got lost in the boonies looking for a park which ended up being closed, and then got a Frosty. We had some very interesting discussions, many of which took a lot of mental pressure off. Just what I needed. Now that I'm home, I'm revisitng the reality that this Honors Spanish III project is due tomorrow.
Now let's look ahead to next week, shall we?
Monday: Student council meeting after school, picked up by Nanny to go put up her Christmas tree and lights, as promised.
Tuesday: Newspaper until 5ish.
Wednesday: Forced to go home to babysit. B.S.
Thursday: Newspaper until 5:30; Blood drive around 6; RCIA from 7-9
Friday: Going out with Daniel for our 'two month'. Two months?! That's 1/6th of a year. Good heavens.
Saturday: Decorating for the Senior Dance from really early in the morning until whenever I go home to get ready. Then I'll be attending the dance, which should be fun. :)
Sunday: Work and a work day for the Newspaper from probably seven in the morning until one or two (or whenever I have to leave to go to work).
Should be an interesting week.
Alright, I can't bring myself to procrastinate any longer. I'm thinking that I'll get a portion of the project done now and then get a few hours of definite sleep so that I can wake up a few hours early and finish.
Oh, and talk about stressful! Daniel finds out tomorrow which college has accepted him through Questbridge. I'm really not sure how to be there for him through that tomorrow, but I do know that I would be rocking back and forth in a corner, compulsively hitting refresh on my e-mail, all day long. Yale is the big one. Fingers crossed for him.
