Wake up Sydney!
Tuesday, January 27, 2009
I really need to find a good way to stop falling asleep on the bus, on the way to school, and in my English class in the morning. I don’t know if it has to do with my inferior immune system or my medicine I’ve been taking, but this usually never happens. I do get at least six to seven hours of sleep at night, so I am so confused. I hate jolting awake while my teachers talking, and realizing that I had full on zonked for a few seconds, SO annoying!
Well any ways, I’m very proud of myself this quarter so far, I’m at school early (on time) every day. I made it a bad habit to sleep in past my alarm and miss my first period in fall quarter. Granted that class was math at 8am and I could easily justify that extra 2 hours of z’s by going to the noon math lab class. But now that I have English on campus instead of online I have no choice, there is no makeup class! I need to figure this out fast, I hate falling asleep. It reminds me of when I used to commute from Olympia to Tacoma every morning at 3am to work the 4am shift at Trader Joes. Or when I was living in Mukilteo and had to commute to Arlington for School and work. Yes, I know, falling asleep while driving is a little more severe than falling asleep on the bus or in your chair in class, but it’s the impossible task trying to silently snap myself out of it. When I was driving I could at least blast the AC, roll all the windows down Blast horrible techno and scream (that was the most effective). So unless I can scream in the middle of class (yeah right) I am in need of some ideas; and, yes I do drink coffee in the morning, and no I don’t want to start taking uppers. Ideas please…
Tuesday is upon us! It’s SO COLD outside, and it’s snowing again. Brrrr. I had a pretty good weekend, aside from the disagreement my mom and I got into over school. I came home stoked that I had a great day, I got all my text’s for school finally, even though my Environmental Ethics book was 110 bucks, I borrowed my Biology book from my friend and that would have been another 100 something dollars. I was stoked because Kyndall (the oldest of my little sisters) was driving down to go get her neck pierced with me, bonding! I passed my Math test with a 81% (I failed miserably with a 59 at the beginning of the week) so naturally I was ecstatic! I’ve been steadily feeding my butterflies in my stomach daily and on Friday the sun was incredible (still freezing out, but beautiful compared to the foggy cloud we Seattleites have been living in lately) ANYWAY.. .I tried relaying my elation to my mother, only to get shot down and ridiculed for not getting better than an 81% and that she’s not paying for my tuition for me to sluff off and not ask for help. I immediately got defensive and started trying to sever the conversation because; naturally I didn’t want to crush my amazing Friday mood. That’s when she started calling me passive aggressive, telling me I have big problems that I have to deal with and this and that and this and yell-- yell. I really thought she would pat my on the back for that but I guess not, so I learned the hard way to not let mom in on what I feel to be a good thing, because, “it’s 100% or it sucks!” I got out of there as quick as I could and didn’t come back till Sunday night.
I had a great weekend! My little sisters, Emilie and Kyndall and Sam and little bro D.j. all hung out, Kyndall was driving dads truck (scary) we went to pick the kids up from their high school Basketball game (very entertaining..) We played some guitar hero, and danced as usual in dads living room.
Saturday night I went to my big sister Courtney's spa party, where we got REALLY wine drunk, ALL of us ladies and scrubbed our feet, looked at Court's wedding dress, and she hugged me and .... I think we bonded! SCORE. seems to only happen when she's waisted though..sad, but I'll work on it :)
Max came and picked me up with his girl Erin, they hung out with all the drunk ladies for a little then we went back back to his house where we played Karaoke till the wee hours of the morning. SO FUN! we even woke up the next morning and played some more, before going to Sharis for Breakie!
They had tickets to go see LIL WAYNE at the Key Arena, so the dropped me off at home, and I worked on homework.. went out to eat with mom, made up...(more like ignored everything that we said.)
OK that's all for now. over n' out.
PEACE and LOVE to all of you <3
