My Last Year
Monday September 6th, 2010:
So this is my last day before school starts. My dear brother is having the time of his life in college and it just bugs me that I can't be there with him to experience it. We used to always to everything together but now that will have to wait until he comes home to visit for a day or two. Life seems like it's getting a little easier. I recognize that there will be some days that are just crap, but there's nothing I can do about it. I just have to remember what my goal is for this year and press on. There's no way I'm going to get any F's in High School this last year.
I spent the weekend at my best friend Caitie's house. It was awesome. We played Fatal Frame 2 even though I was supposed to be helping her work on her AP English essay for some poetry that she had to analyze. We had some moments in the game where we were constantly switching off the controller, especially in the Doll Maker's House. That was the creepiest place ever! I totally freaked out whenever I entered a room with dolls in it. Anyway, I had a great last free weekend of summer.
Well, it would have been better if I hadn't found out that my friends mom might have breast cancer. It really sucks. My parents said that she has a home at our house if she needs to spend the night somewhere. We'll be glad to have her. She's like a sister to me, and she's so much fun. I was supposed to be shopping for pants today, but my mom isn't feeling too well.
On December ninth of last year my mom was hit head-on by a guy driving down the wrong side of the road. He hit a tractor-trailer, a pregnant woman, and then hit my mom. It had to be a fifty mile-per-hour crash because he had pushed my mom's car back fifty feet. She's still in pain from that stupid guy.
She's always telling me that he'd taken away her last year with her son and she always gets very upset at that. I understand her pain of not being able to spend her last year as a family because of chronic pain from the stupid crash. The guy was diabetic and this incident had happened before, but he didn't hurt anyone, so I guess it didn't matter to him if he killed someone the next time. He really pisses me off and I just want to go to his house and beat up someone close to him so he can understand my family's pain. Just typing about it makes me want to punch a puppy(not really). I really want to have a long, angry conversation with this man. It's his fault that my mom isn't happy, and it's his fault that my mom couldn't go shopping with me today.
I really need pants. I have shorts but my school doesn't allow shorts that short to be worn in the school. So, I have about three pairs of pants I can actually wear. And they're quite colorful if I might add.
