so i officially have blisters on all ten fingers and both palms oh yea, and cuts on my pointer finger. what is all of this from? drum roll please......tiling! arg...a few yrs ago, my mom said that she wanted her whole house tiled. and when she wants something, usually, it gets done but as my dad is a very picky person, he decided that he could do the whole job himself and also save some money by doing so...well 3yrs later? we did the hallway, entryway and we just finished up the informal living room. well it's not technically finished. my job is to first help remove the carpet, and then clean the floor b/c yea, this carpet is probably the original carpet so you have to scrape insulation off...sucks...then i sit back; my job is finished for the day. my dad lays the tile. the next day is what i hate the most. everyone says i have the easiest job..well i don't see them volunteering to switch! i had to clean out in between the cracks so my dad could grout. bleh!!!! i am so tired and the sad part is that i am not done yet! but as my hands cramped up i took breaks in which i did other chores..oh the joy. yep, you go off to school and don't have chores except to do your own thing which btw i totally dig and then come home and they clobber you w/chores just to make up for lost time:P i am totally ready to go back to my room in trinity where my only chores are to do my laundry, clean my dirty dishes, and clean the bathroom when it's my turn which is like only once a month. yes. big houses and big families have got to be overrated! in a big house, you spend half your time cleaning up and dusting! big families: i guess it'd be great if there were an equal amount of girls and boys but when youre the only girl! arg...it's like some unwritten rule that girls do girly chores and when a guy does them, he gets very much praised for his work:P ok...i think i can step off of that soap box and that rant is done!
i don't exactly fit into the statistic of college students changing their majors. i'm not technically changing it. i'm still gonna get an english degree. yes. am i gonna go the education route? umm...no? that's right..every day i feel more and more as though i'd rather go on to the big "L" school than teach high school english. i feel less and less of a passion for it. i dunno. my be it's my inner self not wanting to be tied down to one career? if i go english concentration education, that's all i can do: teach. go regular english with my minor in...(well i'm still battling that one) then if law school doesn't work out, i can certainly find a job doing somethingand if i do want to teach after that, i take a test and take a few courses and there ya have it. right now, there is a possible benifactor who could possibly pay for law school so that is a plus. it's scary...i have until august to make my decision...youre not suppose to have to make this kind of decision so early!! ahh..
ok, i can hardly wait! in exactly two weeks i will be back in arlington! a friend who goes to school in dallas offered me a ride back w/her but i can't. she's going back THIS week. like the 6th. problem is, i can't get in til the 15th. no one can for that matter. the whole situation was all way too complicated. i would have to find somewhere to stay and yea...so i decided to leave well enough alone. hang in a few weeks...i am of course not due back to lubbock until maybe easter b/c if i don't go to cali, then my mom and little bro are going to arlington for spring break and we're going to six flags. so Borrock for another 2 weeks:P.
