Hey everyone, how are y'all doin'? I have finally decided to start writing
again. I actually don't really want to but DJDave would kill me if I left
his project so here I am- ready or not. My only disclaimer is if you are
going to be an asshole to me after reading this- STOP RIGHT NOW! Now that
I have said that there must be something that I can complain about;).
Just like everyone else, I too went home for the Thankgiving holiday. But
not everyone has a father like I do. Many of you already know
Rob so I
am sure that you can sympathy with what I went through those long, long
four days. I didn't even get home until Wednesday afternoon and I left
Saturday morning but that was way too much time to be at home. I would
have greatly prefered to stay at school and only go home for Thankgiving
dinner but sadly enough that is not allowed at my house. Yes- we do have a
rule for EVERYTHING at my house.
The whole lovely holiday stared off as I drove one of my sisters to the
Richmond airport and as I was leaving the airport, I called my house to
let Rob know I was leaving. When he answered and found out it was me, he
promptly started yelling at me because he was trying to strip the wax off
the kitchen floor and re-wax. Whatever- our guests were arriving in three
hours and he chose this time to strip off the wax. Why would anyone do
that anyways? That was just the beginning and as I left the airport i
found myself wishing that it was I flying away for the holidays. I got
home and of course everything was worse. It was my responsibility to clean
all of the bathrooms. Our only company was my parents freinds from way
before I was born and the bathrooms had just been cleaned- I don't know
why we were trying to make such a good impression but Rob was on a
mission and there was no stopping him. I don't even like the people who
were coming. The wife is an alcoholic and is always yelling and my brother
and I when we are too loud and disturbing her hangover. Anyway, by the end
of the night I found myself hoping some nature disaster would occur and I
could just leave. It was really that bad.
The rest of the holiday was jam-packed with interfamily fights and
tensions. I got real tired of repeating the same line of "I am not quite
sure what I am doing next year." to everyone. I think next time I will
just post a sign on my head that says "I am a loser and can't get into any
med schools and I have no idea what I will be doing and yes I am sure I
want to be a doctor and no
Paul and I are NOT engaged." That was pretty
much the extent of what I did over my holiday. I am sure it could have
been worse but I am not sure how that would be possibly- don't laugh, I am
trying to be optimistic.
On a good note, I love my little of course and I will miss her over the
Winter break. My roomie and I are getting along wonderfully- she is so
cute and I love her bunches. With all the guy problems we are having
recently, we lament the fact that we are not lesbians- if we were, we are
convinced that are quality of life would improve by at least 100%. There
would be no Y chromosome involved which everyone knows is the jerk gene;).
No offense guys- I am sure that you all are wonderful. Well, that post was
realtively painless. I hope to hear from everyone again and especially
David, from whom, I expect some explanation of why you haven't written
back yet- maybe one day I will forgive you;). Take care everyone and I
will talk to y'all later!
