"I think it's a sin to sit down and let your life go, without making a try for it."

I think I am pretty much gonna have to make Friday nights family nights from now on.  I mean tonight.. well.. I was sick, and so I didn't make any plans, so I can get to sleep by like eleven.  It'll be wonderful. 

So tonight marks first Elizabeth Golden sit down with parents.. eat dinner.. try to converse without arguing.. (lasted for a couple minutes.. then not so well.. then good again).  We watched Ladykillers. I found it hilarious.  They didn't appreciate the language.  I was so busy laughing about Bob Jones University that the language didn't bother me that much.  I loved Tom Hanks in that movie too.  But anyways.  Good, solid, family time.  My bro is on spring break but he has to work all weekend and won't be home till Wednesday.. which kinda sucks because I'm gonna be at school forever, so this probably means it'll be another time when my brother will be home and I won't get to talk to him.  I'm not gonna lie.. sometimes I almost miss him.  His new job has kinda taken over his life, and school stuff mine and we've been on different pages.  You know we got our cell phone bill and my brother spent 3,000 minutes on the phone last month.  3,000 minutes.  That's 50 hours.  50 hours.  I wish I had 50 hours to sit and talk.  How do you do that?  I had a measley 200 minutes on my phone. 

This weekend is gonna  pretty much be crap.  I have so much work to do. I hate third quarter.  It's okay.. I'm going to go to sleep.  I am going to sleep for hours upon hours.  I will wake up and work.  Sunday I am going to church and the Winston-Salem symphony to hear some Mahler.  Then Monday college day, Chapel Hill.. I suppose.. if I feel like I can manage, and then play practice.  Oh yeah.. I got into Virginia Tech.  It was really anti-climactic.  If only they would give me a huge scholarship just so I could spite my dad (he's made me so angry over all the VT stuff), but who cares? I'm doing what he wants.  I'm going to Chapel Hill.  But it sure aint for him.  It's for my lovely Kathryn Waugh and my grandparents and being close to most of my other friends.  That's why.  Okay.  I could rant about this for hours and rant about how my dad is so annoying and such a republican and an OZONE KILLER.. ha.. and how if he only knew.. if he only took the time to look at things from my view instead of being so damn stubborn then he would see, but then I realize.. I am my father's daughter.
