stupid post ahead:
every semester i aim for an 80 (A) average and i can never quite get there cos there is always one class that manages to screw me over. i got my grades back today and this semester i ended up with a 79.8.
this makes absolutely no difference in the long run so i am not really sure why i am complaining. i guess i am just irritated cos i came so close once again and all i want is that dumb 80. rrrgh

My power went out at 10am, right after my nice hot shower. It's off here and there all over the city and in fact this part of the state, because of a lovely ice storm. Seriously beautiful.
I am warm enough and safe, but a bit worried about what might happen if the power stays off overnight or longer. I have been keeping the thermostats in the unoccupied portion of my building set at 48F, which means it doesn't have to get a whole lot colder before pipes start freezing. And then bursting when they thaw. I'll set the faucets to trickle if I don't get power by dark tonight, so they should be fine, but it still makes me. Little anxious.
I'm a tad bored what with only BlackBerry access to the internet and no TV, but I think I'll heat some water on my gas stove and wash some dishes. That should be fun. Woo!
I'm also supposed to go visit a friend who recently had a baby. Wee little infants are nice!

my parents are throwing the biggest fit because I won't send in my college applications (due january 1st) today. I've already sent in about half of them and I've finished the rest, but I want to wait another week before submitting them. I wish I hadn't sent in the other ones so early because I later decided that I would've applied for a different program, and now it's too late. we've been fighting about this for so long. I'm so sick of them screaming at me. my dad actually told me that I'm ripping the family apart. because I haven't submitted college essays.
I understand that they're stressed out but why can't they understand that it's my future? some of these schools have optional essays, I'm not sure if I'm going to write them or not, I think it's wise to wait a few days before submitting my applications. these aren't even schools that I picked out! I've put up with my overbearing, neurotic parents for so long but I'm almost at the end of my rope. I was just told to get out of the house for the weekend and "you haven't seen enough of the world, you need to grow up" but there's a snowstorm outside and I don't have anywhere to go.
nobo:
I can say that I was going through the same thing 6 years ago. My folks felt like they could interfere with my life so long as they somehow contributing to my financial situation (despite no longer giving me any money for college tuition after my freshman year). I finally got "independence" from them about 6 months ago when I got the car title and insurance in my name. But all through college I had to deal with the same sort of bullshit you're going through just because finances could be held over my head. So good luck getting out of the house, but don't expect things to change once you get to college.
Allybee:
I know, I'm pretty upset. I want so badly to be financially independent but I'd be an idiot to not accept four years of free tuition. looks like I'm stuck.
