Yawn

I'm a boring person.

Pancake Day is this weekend (stop laughing. all small towns have odd events). Fellow grads will be coming back as will Megan. Looking forward to seeing her again. I think it's been about a year since I last saw her. With her, it's as if no time has passed. She comes back for visits and we pick up right where we left off. It's weird how that happens. And she is so sweet. She puts up with me even though I am horrible at correspondence.

I was invited to a party at Adam and Roy's this weekend. I'd really like to go, but Pancake Day is standing in my way. This was going to be my last chance to see them and Carie before leaving. It's so sad. I hope something happens and I can see them again.

Mom has started making extravagant meals for me. She says it's cuz I won't be eating like that once I leave. All it does it make meals depressing. Now I feel like I have to be enjoying every last thing since it will be the last time. I feel like a prisoner on death row choosing my final meal. And it makes me horribly sad when Jan tells Mikala "We're gonna miss Uncle Nick when he leaves, won't we?" And then Mikala says "Yup." I get visions of being in the airport and saying goodbye to Mikala and then coming home and she's suddenly 12. God, I'm crying just typing it. Ok, new topic.

Um...After months of begging, Ricky has finally agreed to keep an online journal and website of his writings. And you know it's gonna be great cuz he is going to NYU for writing. So, it should be an incredible and inspirational site filled with eloquent thoughts. it won't appear online til after the new year (barring Y2K). He is currently keeping it in an offline form and then will upload everything sometime in January so the site has more to it than one or two entries once it opens. Believe me, I have read his stuff. It's beautiful. You are all in for a treat.

So, Mom says I have to have tea or something with some old lady cuz she is going to give me some money for NY. It makes sense, but it feels kinda like prostitution. Note: There will be NO sex.

So, I had to go to the doctor today. I've been having pain in my side for about a week, and it finally got to be too much. So, it turns out I sprained a muscle in my back/side. So, nothing to harsh. Just gonna be sore for a bit.

AMDA has strict rules. Get this: No dying the hair, no jewelry aside from watches and wedding bands, no overnight guests, no being late to classes, if you're lat to a class you can be dismissed from the school completely. WTF?! I thought college was supposed to give you more freedom than high school. I'm taking a step back! Since when did AMDA become a prison?! What the hell! There goes all the fun out of this!
