Winding Down

I realized when things are bad, they're really bad, and when things are good, they're good. I've been winding down my 2nd year in law school. It went by fast and slow at the same time. I still haven't found a job for the summer, but to be honest, I haven't been trying as hard as I normally would be. I think it's because I really don't want to work this summer! I've also been MIA, locked away in my study room everyday. Since I'm out of sight, I've also been out of mind. I haven't gotten into any real arguments with my dad, which is uncommonly nice. I did get in an argument with my mom the other day. She wouldn't let me invite Danny to my grandmother's 80th Birthday. Just the thought of it is getting my upset again because her old school reasoning is so lame. It boils down to the fact that even though we've been together for 7 years, she doesn't consider him family, and this event was only meant for family. So I asked her, if my brother was still with that witch of a girlfriend (thank God they broke up), would she be able to come. My mom said yes, of course, because she lives in town. Such BS. This, my friends, are the little reminders I have about my "place" in this family. The fact that my parents will always treat my brother differently than me makes me SO MAD.

But how can I be angry with a women who may have a tumor? So I stayed mad for the night and dropped it for now. I guarantee, this will come up again. Besides, I currently have too much to worry about. I have a paper, 3 finals, and a student event to organize. That saying, "Pick your battles wisely" has been my motto recently. I'm trying to keep a clear head this time around for finals.

I don't have much to look forward to when school ends. I'm planning my friend's baby shower up North. This means I'll have to see Jen (my other friend from college). At this time, I'm a bit angry with her because she's a bit of a nut sometimes. At our Christmas gift exchange weekend, she threw a HUGE temper tantrum where no one talked to her for an entire night. Anyone that knows Jen knows she really an angry mad trapped in a woman's body. I have a lot to say about her, but just not enough time to do it at the moment.

On a final note, it's nice to finally have some sort of peace right now. It seems like I've been staying clear from all the little fires around me. Gotta pat myself on the back for that. Trust me, there are lots of little fires in this family.
