Oh my.. it's been awhile since I've updated, hasn't it?
Well, here's the news. I'm going to San Diego today (and coming back on Monday), so it'll be another long while since I update next xD But I haven't died, so don't worry. Unless the plane crashes. Then you can worry.
I'm looking forward to seeing Mom again, because I haven't seen her in about a month and a half now. That doesn't sound like a long time, but I really miss her. I mean, it's great that she's happy now (she likes her new job a whole lot better, and she's back with her family again), but.. things just aren't the same with her around.
But there are two positive things about this. The first is that Dad and I are starting to talk more. He actually called me one day just to talk, and we were on the phone for like 45 minutes. Usually when he calls, it's like 15 minutes tops before I get annoyed and tell him I have to go. But he's a lot more open about things lately, and I think our relationship is salvageable. The second positive thing is that (and you knew this was going to be one of them!) I guess I'm more independent now. I mean, I'm still not probably where I should be, but at least I'm getting over my fear of calling strange people (e.g. the bank, my doctor or dentist, etc.) because I would always make Mom do it for me.. and now she can't.
I still don't know what I'm going to do for things like winter break though.. or summer next year. And I don't know where to go after I graduate. Where I go to grad school is probably where I'll live for the next several years after I graduate from there.
Anyway. As much as I'm looking forward to seeing my family again, I'm also sad to leave Andrea. This is the last week before school starts, and I'll only see her for a day (Tuesday) before I have to go back for check-in. It's so hard to leave her, even though I do it so often.. whether it's to go on a plane back home or just driving back to school after the weekend. I'm glad I got to see her for so much more than usual though.. I mean, almost a whole month together.... It's silly. We've been together for three years, but this is the longest we've ever been together. This is why I have no sympathy for people who complain about long-distance being so hard (cry me a river!). Yeah, it's hard, but I don't give a damn.
It's kind of fun being bitter sometimes. I like talking to Amber because we can be bitter together, and then we look at pictures of cute animals and feel better.
