It's been a week and not enough has happened.
On the 22nd, Casey, Jenn, and I went to Easton to have dinner with Ashley and her boyfriend Erik. We shared some laughs. Then, we went to Sonic for some drinks. Oh yeah! Next, it was to Jenn's to watch Teen Mom (yawn) and then Hard Candy, which was an alright movie.
Christmas day was nice. I hung with the girls, and we went to see Precious. We trekked all the way to Largo because hardly any theaters were playing it. Anyway, it was a good movie. Afterward we came home and made some hot chocolates, ate dinner, and jammed out a little.
On Saturday, I went to Aunt Katy's and had a good time. For some reason, these family functions aren't as fun as they used to be.
Yesterday, I went out to watch the Ravens game with my parents. They lost by 3 to Pittsburgh. The game was kinda bullshit. Ah well. Then, Melissa picked me up and we went to DC. The concert was great. Scripts, the opening band, gave a good show. And Wye Oak were pretty amazing. They played Family Glue as the encore. I think that's the first time a band has played my favorite song last. The night was meant to be.
Only 11 days left.

Today, a woman yelled at me while doubting my subtraction skills.
This is the worst break ever.
I'm off until Thursday. No plans for New Years yet. I have a million things to worry about, and instead I'm watching Lost until I fall asleep.

I haven't seen my dad since Sunday and I probably won't until after 7:00 tonight. I know it's stupid, but I'm still really upset about what he said. He was always the one to make Mom be quiet about all this stuff, and what he said is the same as taking her side to me. He tried to be nice about it, saying if I was okay with everything, it was fine. But even if I'm okay with myself, I'll always be thinking in the back of my head that my dad isn't. I hate it so much. Why would he do this a week before Christmas? I already know he's not going to apologize.
He acts like he's trying to be supportive of whatever's going on in my life, saying that he doesn't know if it's Michael or school or something else, but that just piles everything up on top of it. When it takes me a long time to move on from Michael, even if it's not true, I'll keep thinking, "Well, if Dad thinks that about you, imagine what everyone else thinks...."
It feels like every good experience I've had with my dad, as few as they are, is overshadowed by the fact that he thinks this about me. He forgets so many things about me. Every time I come home, I answer the same questions about work and school, but one thing he's never overlooked is my appearance.
To top it all off, I went into work on Monday for the first time since I've been on break, and the first thing Jeff Davis says to me is "Wow, your eyes look puffy." And Jenn's party got moved to Monday at 5:00 because of the snow, so when I got off at 9:30, everything had pretty much happened and everyone was leaving in a little bit.
I got my parents small Christmas presents, but it's going to be so awkward. Saturday is Dad's family's party, and that won't be so bad.

I made it home!
Didn't do much today. I should have recorded, but I'm scared to get started. The transition has been incredibly smooth. I wish I was staying longer. Right now, Rocko and I are sitting together upstairs. It's all I could ask for.
Hopefully, I'll have more exciting things to update on next time.

So, on the way to pick up Sam from the airport, my dad revealed his "concern about my weight." He said a lot more and it pretty much amounts to my own father thinking that I'm fat, for the past four years too.
Now, I have to live with this for more than a month. I've never been so underwhelmed about living at home.

So. The snow is pretty up to my chest out here. Since I'm the only one in this neighborhood with balls, my car is now the only one that has three feet empty space around my car and can get out onto the road. However, my car probably won't make it on these roads tonight. Even the highway is WHITE. I went out on Mom's SUV to True Value and that shit was rough.
Everywhere was out of snow shovels. We bought a metal square shovel. Oye vey.
I'M THE MAN

My flight has been canceled. I'm extremely upset about it.
My mom booked me another flight for 8:15 am tomorrow. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be on time or just delayed a few hours. I'm actually excited about waking up at 4:30 to get ready and catch the bus by 5:30. But there goes a whole day that could have been spent at home. My break is short enough as it is. And as for today, I have absolutely nothing to do. Yesterday was really pushing it.
Let me complain one last time. I think Nicki turned the heat off when she left. I woke up this morning and it was 49 degrees Fahrenheit! That's just dumb.
AAARRGHHHH. What to do? It figures my car is fucked up.

It's supposed to snow in Maryland tomorrow. I can't help but roll my eyes. There's a good chance I'll be spending a long time at DIA, especially considering how well Maryland handles snow. Damn, this is dumb.
I have nothing to do today. I wish I could get on a flight now.
Last night, I got called into work. It was nice to get in a few hours of pay. Plus, I made myself a sundae. Oh yeah!
I suppose I'll clean the house today.

Next winter, I think I'd like to vacation in Maldives.
I can dream.

7:21p Winter break begins tomorrow
I can't believe school is over already. It's been a rough semester and it's so weird to think that right now.. I could do anything. I could read for pleasure. What's that?
I have a grammar exam tomorrow and that's the last of it. I should be packing and studying right now, but I'm feeling really tired and kind of sad. I've been on and off with Michael since summer basically, and I think this is really it. It's really scary to think about and even though I'm upset, I know it hasn't hit me yet. There's nothing to be done.
Jenn's Christmas party is on Saturday and I was really looking forward to it and the potential snow, but my mom's already freaking out about how I can't drive over it. Great.

So, my third semester has ended. It feels good, but as good as I thought. I don't know why... I just feel whatever about it. I hope next semester is a little more fun.
I now have 42 hours with nothing to do. It's hard to believe how close I am to being home.
Maybe I'll get wasted tonight. Maybe I'll clean my room. Maybe I'll fly a kite, since it's so nice and windy outside. The possibilities are endless.

Uni results are out!
Distinction x 4 = Happy Sam
Work tomorrow. It should be pretty breezy though.
Going to a housewarming party tomorrow night. For some strange reason, I'm really looking forward it.
I visited the physio a few times in the past two weeks because my back is fucked up. Whenever I sit down and then get back up, my back hurts like hell. Nothing wrong with my spine according to the x-ray, just muscle spasms/cramps/whatever. The physiotherapist taught me some exercises to do, so that should help. Hopefully.

Another one down. One more, baby.
I'm certain an A- or B+ is imminent in Construction. Unless he decides to curve us all a little bit, there goes my 4.0 for sure. I put so much effort into the class too, so it sucks. I'll probably end up with an A- in Engineering Systems as well. The final was just like the last two tests... I didn't have enough time, and it was impossible to study for. I should not in any way feel bad about these grades, but I will.
The good news today is I got Tiara's gift. I hope she likes it!
3 DAYS = DIG.

Rocked another final.
Two more.
Isn't there anything else to talk about?
You already know I'm excited for break.
You already know my roommates are starting to get on my nerves.
You already know I'm writing tunes like crazy.
I'm ready for big things!
