Week 1 journal

1/17/2012

These past few weeks have been weird, but great at the same time. Have had a lot of time to myself, and have noticed some things about me. Starting school again added some normalcy back into my life, and some stress. Already have a test for next week in one of my hardest classes, Medical Terminology, but all it is is memorization, which I am good at. While thinking about classes and all the school work, there are a thousand other things I have to do, like get a good paying job, save up to fix my hood since I hit a deer, and many more. My family and i just had to put our dog, Kobi, down. He was in our lives for 13 years and the house seems weird without him there. Our other dog, Darby, is very depressed without her buddy and mopes around the house a lot. It makes me sad to see her sad. Today, however, she did show a burst of energy and horsed around outside in the snow. She is so cute when she plays in the snow. We also found out that Darby is way over weight! She weighs 93 pounds! She is so chubby! Well, I am getting distracted by my xbox! Gotta go play some Modern Warfare 3!

Didn't do much today. Woke up and played some more Modern Warfare 2 with a friend then got ready to go a birthday party. Had way to much cake and ice cream! Got to play with the cutest girls in the world! They are 3 and twins and I love them! They are so much fun to play with! They love playing memory and puzzles on my Kindle! They are really smart already! Oh! I also took back my bottles today and got 13 bucks! A really sad thing happened today as well. I saw a green truck driving and a pug in the middle of the road, and the truck hit it! It was so sad to see the dog laying there and obviously dead. On my way back through I saw the little boy with his parents and the boy was crying. It was so sad! Putting my dog down was hard enough, I can only imagine what they are going through! That's about it for today!

Today I woke up tired because I had stayed up way to late playing Xbox! Struggling to keep my eyes open, I straggled to the bathroom to shower and get ready for my History class that is at 11. Once I got to school, I was sitting in class and it felt good to be there and to be learning about something new. I was happy to have that feeling and not hate being in class. After class I went home and did a lot of note cards for my Medical Terminology class since I have a huge test already on Tuesday. Once I finished up, I played some Xbox, I know I play way to much, then watched The Hangover 2 with a friend and ate lots of ice cream! I also made dinner for everyone...Some chicken, mashed potatoes, and peas! Yum! I also learned a new game called Battlefield 3. It is weird and not what I am used to, but its fun to try new things. Well, that about sums up my day, until tomorrow....

Today, I slept in. It felt nice sleeping in. I also remembered that  today  I had to babysit later on, so I did some more note cards for class and relaxed. Watching a new episode of One Tree Hill and later on watching The Blind Side. I love that movie! Later on after making a delicious supper of steak, delicious terriyaki noodles, and carrots, I babysat for a few hours. It is such easy babysitting because she pretty much does whatever she wants, loves to watch movies, and is calm and quiet. Which is a nice change from prior babysitting jobs where I watched four boys ranging from 6 to 14. They are the hyper bunch. Today was an easy day, didn't do much and I enjoyed it.

This morning I woke up to the noise of vacuuming out in the hall way. Normally I sleep right through this, but not today. Irritated I stumbled out to find my mom, with a big smile, doing her normal weekend cleaning. I asked her why she was so happy, and she blurted out that we were going to be getting a puppy! A friend for Darby! She wasn't supposed to tell me because it was going to be a surprise, but she blew it! :) That made me getting up super early much better. Excited to go and look at the puppies, I also remembered that later on my dad had a basketball game that he really wanted us all to go to. So, I got ready and faced the day. Before going out or doing anything I hung out with my friend that has spent a lot of time with me and my family lately. I think he is going through a hard time right now and wants to be surrounded for people who care about him. We played Xbox, then headed out. My dad coaches for Valley High School. He coaches the varsity girls team. He has a great bunch of girls. They play their hardest. My dad loves coaching. He coached me when I was in high school, and I loved having him as my coach. Anyways, he lost his game. :( But they played hard. After the defeat we headed home, to find Darby excited as ever to see us. She hates when we leave her alone. Soon after we got home I headed to bed.

So, today I continued to make note cards. I have made almost 200! This is going to be a crazy test! Hopefully all the studying I have done will pay off. I knew today did not have much in store. I like having lazy days sometimes, but today I didn't particularly like it! I got super bored and decided to fill my time with homework. Seems like I already have so much to do! After doing some homework, my friend Matt came over and we watched the Patriots win! What a crazy game that was. Even though I don't really understand football, I knew this game was a big deal! I see football as a bunch of guys running, getting tackled and then doing it all again! :) I don't understand all the rules etc. Basketball is my sport, and my favorite team is the Boston Celtics. They won today which was awesome! I heard so awful rumors though! They are thinking of an open trade, which means Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, and Paul Pierce could possibly be leaving the Celtics! That would be so weird! I would not like that at all. Garnett is my favorite player. I love the passion he brings forth to the game. Well, right now I am finishing up some homework while listening to music. Until tomorrow....

Today, I spent most of the day doing homework. I did a Biology quiz, a Sociology quiz, and studied my Medical Terminology note cards because I have my fist test tomorrow. I am surprised how well and quickly I memorized the 200 note cards! I like memorizing though, it is something I believe I am good at. Earlier today, I also picked up my room. I made supper for everyone also along with babysitting. I made chicken, chicken and broccoli pasta, and mixed vegetables! Yum! I enjoy making supper, especially when people like the taste of the food I make. I babysat for a few hours, which was once again a pretty easy task. I also realized that I accidentally left my car lights on for the day, and realized that my battery was dead, awesome! Not! I hit a deer like a month or so ago, so my grampie strapped my hood down so it wouldn't fly up in my face. In turn, I realized I wasn't going to be able to get it open on my own. I had to call up grampie to get my hood open. He came, then we had to boost the battery. Well it was really dead! It took a while to charge it up, but luckily we got it going again! Phew! Now, I sit here contemplating studying more for my test tomorrow, or play xbox....hmmmmm! Well I decided playing xbox would be way more enjoyable! So off I go, to my game zone!
