Well, another year has come and gone! Just like every year, this was an emotional birthday. I have no idea why! I used to love my birthday oh so much! It’s just been so shrouded in emotion for so long that I think I’m just used to it so I expect it and in turn I make myself emotional! What was really great is that my mom flew down here from Washington. That was so nice! it’s been such a long time since I got to really spend my birthday with my mom.
She arrived last Thursday and I hung out with her and my cousins and my Aunt Linda at her house for quite a long time. On Friday I went over to my aunts house fairly early and spent a good amount of time with them while also working on a bit of math homework, until later when my mom and my brother and I went over to Sheena’s house so that my mom could meet Sheena’s mom. That was enjoyable. A few of my other friends came over as well and we had a little mini birthday party with a bit of drinking.
On Saturday we had a BBQ at my Aunt Linda’s and Shelley, Dylan, Krystal, Kim Jones, Kayden, Amanda, Alexea, and Morgan all came to that and we had a lot of fun! Afterwards I went to a birthday party for myself at Sheena’s! Her and her mom bought me a cake and a ton of people came over and we drank and sang happy birthday and just had a good time! That’s when I started getting emotional though! I cried that night and I cried in the morning as well. Mostly because I was so tired and didn’t want to drive but I had to and I just wanted My Jenny oh so bad!
I went home early in the morning and slept for a few hours, after all the partying. Because I got home so late and was hoping to just crash at Sheena’s, I didn’t make it over to my Granny’s to vist because I didn’t want to drive back and forth all day, especially on no sleep and for such small amounts of time! So I used the day to clean my room and bathroom and stayed home and got ready until Jenny arrived around 6:30-ish and we went over to my Aunt Linda’s so I could introduce her to everyone! Which I was SO nervous about! I’m not even entirely sure why I was as nervous as I was! I think part of it was that my family is crazy, part of it is that I’ve never introduced a girlfriend to my family before, part of it was because I wanted to be alone with her, and part of it was because the potential for them to embarrass me haha. But it went well and everyone really liked her! YAY!
They sang happy birthday to me and gave me cards and I got a couple gift cards. Jenny also gave me flowers and hershey’s hugs and kisses (num num). I pressed two of the flowers in to my flower journal
. I’ve saved a sample every time she’s given me flowers! Tender! And I want to do that every time forever!
We had to leave my aunts just after 9 so that she could be there to get Braxton around 11, so we didn’t really spend much more than 2 hours with them. I ended up crying while we were standing outside her car… I tried so hard not to and I felt terrible for crying. I just don’t like her leaving; it’s so hard. I never know when I’ll see her again and it’s always so long…
But at least I got to see her for a while and she got to meet everyone, that’s a good thing. Now she just needs to meet Shelley and the kids. Hopefully that can happen soon.
We talked a little bit last night about moving in together and she said she’s so down to move back to the Salt Lake valley, which I really want to do. I’m so tired of living in Utah County. There’s really nothing here for me. My whole life is based in Salt Lake County! It’s so hard on me to have to travel so much all the time, especially having everyone who means something to me up there (other than Jenny, Cat, Chris, & Braxton, of course). I’m really excited to move back up there!
Anyway, these last couple of days have been so crazy. I spent about 14 hours studying and doing homework on Monday for the time I missed over the weekend and then I couldn’t fall asleep until probably sometime around 8:30 am. I then had to wake up to be to class by 1 PM. I kept hitting the snooze button on my alarm and finally got up at 11:53 and scrambled to get ready. I made it to school by 12:40 but I didn’t get the spot I wanted in the classroom! Some other girl stole it because I got there later than usual! That cannot happen again!!! I was so irritated that I wanted to hit her and put gum in her hair! But then I came to the conclusion that that would be very socially and civilly inappropriate and would more than likely result in legal hassles, and decided against it.
I also had my first biology midterm exam yesterday. I don’t know how I did on it but we shall see. I felt like I knew a fair amount but there were quite a few that I had to guess on because I really didn’t know. I wish I could have had more time to study! It was just so hard with so much going on over the weekend. Hopefully things should be easier now that my birthday has passed. I also completely spaced that I had Computer Essentials homework that is due by midnight tonight so I came home after classes and did that. I very stupidly opened an exam for the course online as well, and had to finish it before reading the chapter! I did the best that I could seeing as I was going off little information, search engines, no sleep, and a time limit! I ended up getting an 86%
So not too bad. I got a 92 on the other assignment, but that one I can redo again to get a better score, up to 3 more times.
And now I just need to get some sleep. I don’t know why I’m keeping myself up so late but at least I’m updating my blog. I definitely do not update it often enough. It just sounded like a good idea to do, tonight. I should probably end here and get some rest seeing as I have class tomorrow and a potential counseling appointment which I just may cancel.
Goodnight!
