Journal Entry #  5    Date:  Saturday, December 21, 2002
Entry Title: Aaaah
Okay, I know it's really been awhile.  I've been busy, which isn't much of an excuse, but it's all I got.  So to bring you up to date I'll have to rewind to Thanksgiving.  I did go home, and it wasn't so bad.  That's about all there is to say about that.  Oh, and my mom sent my dad to the store to get some carrots for the Thanksgiving meal and he, being the expert shopper he is, came back with a 10 pound bag of carrots.  No, you didn't misread that, it was really 10 pounds.  So basically every dish had something to do with carrots; carrot soup, carrot cake, carrot bread, carrot sauce, mashed carrots, etc.  I, of course, do not like carrots.  I don't think I've ever eaten less during a Thanksgiving meal.  On the up side, I suppose it's a good diet plan.

Then I went back to school for the next three weeks, and now I am back home.  Finals are over (let's not talk about grades), and so is my time in Madison (at least for the time being).  It's hard being home; my parents are still hastling me (high school all over again), but I think this is the right thing for me to do right now.  I am going to get a job (part time probably) and I have signed up to take classes at Oakton Community College.  I think classes there will be less stressful, especially since I am taking all art/computer classes.  I am going to try out that computer graphic/animation thing I'm always talking about.  I mean, they always say life is short, so why not, right?  And between working and living at home, I should be saving some money (which, I have to admit, my family is quite short on at the moment). 

So that's kind of the shortend version and now I am at home, looking for a job, and trying to pull my life together.  It really isn't easy.  Tuesday is my first day with a therapist that a doctor recommended to me.  Hopefully she will be able to help me through whatever it is that I am going through. 

Other exciting news: next week I leave for Israel.  I am going on the birthright trip so it is free (yeah!).  I am very excited about my 10 day vacation although my parents think it is the dumbest thing I could think to do since there is unrest in Israel.  Personally, I am not afraid, but leave it to my parents to try and make me feel guilty for going on a 10 day vacation that will cost them nothing.  Oh well, I think I am learning to ignore their disappointed looks and constant hastling.  I know they mean well, but jesus christ, give me a fucking break.
