So... I finally finished the semester. Today is my last day working, and two weeks from now I should be in a plane leaving for Venezuela. *sigh* I printed my itinerary yesterday, 2 1/2 hours from here to Miami and 3 1/2 from Miami to Caracas. I'll be dead by the time I arrive at 10pm. And the trip back is through Dallas, which means a 5 1/2 flight. I'm not particularly fond of flying 'cause I have this in-ear thing that comes from my dad's side of the family (apparently the cause of my clumsiness too...) and I tend to get sick unless I take pills every couple of hours, and it's going to be a pain because I'm traveling alone and I always forget. Not that I mind traveling alone... I actually think it'll be cool, but yeah I'll probably forget.
Also, half of my friends and relatives have asked me to buy stuff for them and I don't know where I'm going to fit it all. My mom is like well take just a couple of shorts and shirts. Yeah, that's not a good idea given that I'll be there for 3 months and I don't have any clothes back home... and I won't spend my time doing laundry, nor do I have the cash to buy clothes, so I need to take something.
I also have to pack my entire closet (and room) before I go because the house will be ready after I leave and I have to leave everything ready for my mom and dad to move. So I dunno, but it sounds to me like I'm going to spend the next two weeks of my life packing. Fan-freaking-tastic.
I'm still happy that the semester is over. The last few weeks I've been feeling sort of semi-depressed about school. I just didn't have the will to actually go to class or do any of the work. I guess it has to do with the fact that I haven't been sleeping well, and that makes me tired pretty much all the time. But I like threw my economics grade down the drain, which is really unlike me, I mean I'm a complete nerd. I dunno, I guess I just need a break to try and get motivated again.
My mom was giving me crap about how I spend my money yesterday. According to her I should save my money for when I go to Venezuela 'cause my sister and my brother won't give me cash, and that in her humble opinion I don't -need- more t-shirts or shoes. (This coming from the woman who has clothes in her closet that she hasn't wore once, and that is also taking up space in -my- closet). Ok, first of all, I could never have enough t-shirts, that's just not possible, same with shoes (sneakers in my case, anyway). Second, I have some money saved and not only that but I've been making deals with people where I buy stuff for them and they give me the cash when I'm there, which is turning out to be a good deal for me. And most importantly, I'm the most boring person in the whole freaking world, I don't go out, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I bet you I will barely leave the house... why could I possibly need a load of cash for? I'm going there to spend time with my family and help out Andy with my niece and my new nephew. So I think I'm going to keep buying my shoes and t-shirts, 'cause that's what I like to spend my money on. *breathes* That felt good. I haven't ranted like that in a while. I guess I'm just sick of her trying to get me to spend like she would like me to. She loves to go shopping and spend her day in a mall, when I prefer to order things that I -know- I want. I feel better now.
