Random Rambling 1/16/2003
I've been trying to post entries for the past two weeks, and the OD site would always give me an error message...
Winter break is almost over, and in ten days, I will have been writing in this diary for two years.
Winter break was relaxing and quiet. I spent almost all of my time reading in my room or watching television. I just don't have time to do that stuff up at school...
That and the fact that I no longer talk to anyone from high school any more. I feel odd because I've known most of them for years, and after graduation, we all just stopped talking. Sonia and Batman still IM me occasionally. It may sound terrible, but I don't even want to talk to Sonia any more. She's so different...She tried going to SUNY-Stonybrook for awhile but failed out. She took off a semester, and from the sound of it, she never went back. Her boyfriend lives with her in her dilapidated house, which, unless things have changes, he lives off of her meager salary. Sonia's one of the poorest people I know, and we used to have these long, in-depth discussions about how she didn't want to end up as an out-of-work, poor, uneducated, alcoholic like her mother. In the first two or three years of high school Sonia got great grades and all kinds of awards. Then senior year she decided to take some easy classes, graduate early, and go to Florida Institute of Technology. She got tons of scholarships from that school where she would've only had to pay $2000/ year. For reasons unknown, she decided not to go at the last minute and took a semester off. After that, everything just went downhill.
Talking to her now is so odd...she sounds more and more like her mother. She's in and out of work, since she has no college diploma, the work she does get is minimum wage, and doesn't care if she ever moves out of that cramped house with her mother and siblings.
I talk to Batman occasionally too, but she and I can never seem to have schedules that allow us free time at the same time as the other.
For New Years, I went out to dinner with my parents and Jake to my favorite Italian restaurant and then came home to watch the ball drop. Jamie, my sister's best friend, came to pick up my sister earlier that evening, and had made a comment about her boyfriend staying home. "He said he wanted to stay home with his family...That's so retarded, he's 22!" Hey Jamie...I'm 20, and I'm staying home...
The only time I really went out was last weekend when I took the LIRR into Queens to visit my friends Lisa and Toni. We went out to this amazing Italian restaurant, where we got into some really cool discussion about death and religion...It started out as Toni telling us about the movie, 'Mothman Prophecies." Then we saw some cheesy movie with Britney Murphy and Aston Kutcher...god, he's gorgeous...anyway, Lisa hates cheesy flicks, and kept making funny comments all through the movie. We went back to Toni's apartment where we just hung out and watched t.v. I left early the next morning...it was a short, but awesome trip.
I'm not looking forward to going back to school. I failed organic chemistry, which means I have to take that horrid class again. I sometimes get really frustrated because I seem to be the busiest with work, yet I get the lowest grades...I was thinking of changing my major to psychology, but to get a PhD takes 5-7 years, and the salaries aren't even that high. I would really like to major in psychobiology, but that involves takes Organic I and II, which is problematic. So for the rest of the semester I have to work my ass off to make up for that F. It sucks, because all of my other grades kick ass. I may have to give up on osteopath school, and wait on or two years until I finish PA school or graduate school because my overall GPA is shot by this semester.
I'm looking forward to my apartment and having my own room though...should make things easier.
I haven't been writing because I haven't been doing anything interesting...I'm suprised my diary didn't get deleted by OD because I haven't written in almost a month.
Ah well...dinner time.
