Big Long Update


Yay for 10 miles in slightly less than 28 minutes! Not all that impressive, but still cool to me. :-)

Okay, I'm going to get this out of the way first.

Gah, wait, new problem. Mum fucking fucked up the Verizon bill or something so that I'm the only one with nights and weekends so now I'm only allowed to use my phone after 9pm and on weekends, so that they can have all of the 800 minutes. And if they need to make a call after 9 or on weekends, apparently they get my phone. Fuckers. Stupid fucking fuckers.

Anyway, back to the other thing before I start a run through of my horrible week.

Met with Misty Dodge today, my academic advisor. Apparently Bonneau (and possibly other teachers) are under the greatly mistaken impression that I didn't do my summer reading. What the FUCK?!!? I DID IT for fucks sake. In fact, this was the first time I actually finished it. Teach me to actually do work... Assholes. So, yeah, I'm probably gonna not get into college cuz it'll say on my transcripts that I suck at life and don't do summer reading. Although, I did email Bonneau in an attempt to get it all straightened out...

So, Wednesday. Went to TJ Maxx with Tom to get him a pink tie and some idiot scraped against my front bumper and left me with a huge, deep scratch in it. Then we went to WPI to meet Rosemary and went to the "Fitness Center" to "work out".

I discovered I don't actually mind exercise when I'm not being forced to do it. And by exercise I mean bike machine thingies and treadmills. So I've been going there for a half hour or so every day (or, well, Thursday and Friday at least) at 2 when I don't have class. Maybe I shall keep it up through the year. :-)

Thursday, my car got rear-ended like WHOA in the WPI parking lot and no information was left. Right tail-light was busted, the trunk doesn't close right anymore on the right and the bumper is screwy on the right. To top it all off, my brakes have been making sketchy noises lately anyway.

So I drove home and told Mum and Da and they got pissed off at ME like it was my fault and then were even more pissed when they took it to Honda and found out it's gonna cost a couple thou to fix and it wouldn't be fixed for a couple weeks. So pretty much the whole night they weren't talking to me.

And Mum decided that she isn't comfortable letting me sleep over at a college, much less in Jon's room. Which is fucking STUPID cuz it's like MassAcademy (sorta kinda inaway) just with older people and I'm not on the fucking Pill so I'm not gonna be screwing Jon if I slept over. And if I really wanted to (and he did) we could certainly find time.

THEN she decided that I'm not "ready" to drive into Boston. First of all, Needham isn't fucking Boston. It looks like it's like driving in Worcester. And second of all, WHAT is so different in Boston from Worcester? It's just cuz she's fucking afraid to drive in big cities that she thinks I automatically can't handle it. ARGH.

AND she complains so much about having to drive me places AND she won't drive into big cities, so GUESS who probably isn't EVER gonna be able to go see Jon.

I hate my family.

But then Jon decided that he was gonna come here and sleep over, since he was going to visit his family today anyway. So he did. And that was good. :-) Made me very happy.

But then he had to leave early this morning and that made me very sad. So he dropped me off at skool.

And skool was okay and stuff. Until I found out about summer reading.

I called Mum around 2 to find out who was coming to pick me up and she was like, "Oh, I thought Jon was bringing you home" and I was like, "No, I told you last night he could only BRING me."

It makes me mad when she complains about us not listening to her. And then she doesn't listen to us like that.

So Da came and picked me up. It turned out that my rear brakes didn't have break pads on them, so that's what the sketchy rattling noise was. And they can't fix the car till Monday that 13th. So I'm fucked till then. And even after then cuz it's probably gonna take a while to get fixed.

So I don't know how I'm getting to skool... And neither does Mum OR Da. I suggested to Mum that I get up early and go to skool with them and then take her car to skool. She was like, "I don't want to discuss that right now." I was like, "What the FUCK I'm trying to help come up with a solution here so you guys aren't too inconvenienced since all I am is a fucking inconvenience."

Bastards.

Ummmm... I don't think there's much else that I need to say.

Oh, so Calc is easy now. I don't know if that's cuz Jon said that it was just algebra (or he said something like that) and I know that I'm mad-good at algebra, so now that I'm seeing all the algebra, I'm good at Calc, or if it's just cuz we're going over stuff that we learned last year and now that I'm hearing it a second time I get it...

Probably the second one.

I wanna go see if I've magically lost weight in the past 3 days and then go eat a bunch of junk food cuz I'm in a bad mood again...

Oh! Walking back down to MassAcademy today, I found a dice (die?) in the middle of the road!! I'm so cool...
