Have you ever had one of those days when you realize it's 7 at night, and you haven't spoken to anyone yet all day? I just realized this. :-) I was going to go to campus earlier, but I decided to work on my essay today instead and do my work on campus tomorrow, so I stayed here by myself. I tried phoning Laurie earlier, but she wasn't home, so I haven't actually spoken to anyone all day. I have, however, been singing, so my vocal chords have been getting their exercise. :-)
Anyway, it's Valentine's Day, of course! I'm not generally a big fan of the holiday, since it's basically just a commercialized attempt to get us all to do something we should do anyway...let the important people in our lives know what they mean to us. But this has been a good year for me...not only did I get some nice cards from my friends, but the guys at rehearsal bought all the girls chocolate, and my parents had flowers delivered to my house! I thought that was so sweet. So even though I've spent the whole day alone, I'm not being depressed about it. :-)
I also just realized that I ate an entire box of Kraft Dinner. I didn't mean to...I just came up to my room with the whole pot, 'cause I was working on my essay, and before I knew it, it was all gone. And now I'm stuffed. :-)
It's my little brother's birthday on Wednesday...he's going to be 12. I can't believe that. I still think of him as a little boy, but I know that when I was 12, I didn't feel little at all. I worry that because I left home when he was still so young, that I'm always going to think of him as being younger than he is. I don't want that, though, because I want to know him for who he is. I miss him so much.
My little sister has decided she wants to go to university in Toronto, apparently. :-) She's only in Grade 10, so she's still got two and a half years to decide, but she and our cousin think it would be fun to live in Toronto. And apparently my mom told her that the only way they could do it was if I was living in Toronto at the time, and they could live with me. It's nice to see I have some say in this! :-) I'm just kidding though...it would be a lot of fun to have the two of them living with me...crazy, but fun. :-)
Okay, I think this should win an award for the most random journal entry ever. :-) I think working on that essay all day has fried my brain (or lack thereof). And just for the record, I don't think Tsar Paul was mad. He just didn't understand people very well.
Adieu! :-)
