California

So today is the day my dad will go to California. I must admit I envy him greatly - but at least I get to see Will! :) He's coming back on Tuesday. *sigh* Life at home will be louder. lol... I mean this morning my mom saw me on the phone and she was like "calling again?" and I said it was for volunteering with Maerilly but she was like "no. I have to bring your dad to the airport at around 3:30. Don't you understand that?" Well of course I understand! That's why Maerilly and I are going around 1:30 to 2. I dunno. Plus that's the only way I can go to the movies - unless I want to walk. Which is possible and I need the exercise. :D I mean, I need my hours. And she was the one that lectured my sister, Connie on joining academic clubs and getting hours and here she is nagging on me for arranging a time to volunteer. Well, I'm sorry if you're going to be busy today. I'd gladly drive myself. And you know what? Just as if she read my mind, she started to mumble about me and driving.

She went on about how I wanted to drive but I'm a bad driver. Blah blah blah. Well, I'm sorry I do not drive like you (which is the "right" way to drive). My dad never says anything bad about my driving anymore and he never acts nervous. My mom drove with me yesterday and, for the first time, never said anything about it. I think she says things for her own purposes. She doesn't want me to drive and doesn't want to pay the insurance, therefore she makes herself THINK I'm a horrible and atrocious driver. My dad gave in to my wishes and installed a new CD/tape/radio player in the Honda Accord that he's going to give to me. It's currently his car. :) I'll name it when it becomes mine. And anyways. I need a car for next year if I get Internship Advanced because they do not provide transportation next year for that. I doubt I'll get in - but it's a helping factor if I do.

Anyways, enough about that or I'll rant on for hours - literally. :P I just miss California a lot. I mean Texas is great and all (people-wise - though a portion of them need attitude checks - and I suppose the schools are pretty OK though I hate the new laws. TAKS my butt.) but Cali was my first home and it was GREAT! Those were my carefree years and my mom never nagged, as impossible as it seems. My mom was a parent volunteer at my school. She even took me out of school once to go to a museum with my friends saying we had a family emergency! We celebrated all the holidays that we now barely do anything for. :\ Then when we came here, things changed. Also, the weather there's PERFECT. lol... And I like the mountains.

A couple of days ago, it suddenly hit me how much I missed Cali. One of my cousins that lives in San Diego accidentally sent me an e-mail talking of get togethers in the SD area. Oh. And the beaches there are superb. You can SMELL it and you'll know you're at/near the beach. Here? You just smell this horrible fishy smell when you're THERE. Uh... no thanks, I'll pass. :) And well, after I read that e-mail, it was like I wish I was there. OK, I'm not a partying person, but yeah! I just, in general, miss the place.

Okie! :) I'm done. I have more but I'm hungry and I'm going to eat my breakfast. lol... :P

See you all later!
