Today Is Special

Today is my best friend Jasmine's 18th birthday...unfortunately, she's all the way back in Virginia and I'm here in Fallon, Nevada...I texted her and I'm going to call her after my dad goes to work...but I wish I could be there with her...
It was funny. I was joking with her and said she could be a bad influence all around and buy cigarettes for little children if she wanted. She said "Hmm, true. But I'm still tired and frail."
Then I asked her if her boobs were sagging. She hasn't gotten back to me yet, but when she does, I know it'll be hilarious.
I got her a sketchbook, some good drawing pencils, and a super-fine Sharpie to outline her pictures. I also put some wallet-sized versions of my senior portraits in a tiny photo album for her, and then I'm going to fill this cookie container with candy and ship it off.
"Why a cookie container?" one might ask...It has a cute little penguin on it...the penguin is her favorite animal.
I was going to put some chocolate covered peanuts in it...but I forgot I was going to do that and ate them all...Ha ha ha! Silly me. I didn't tell her this, though. But I might. It would be good for a laugh.
I'm going to ask Jazz to draw a lot and try to fill up the sketchbook and then mail it back to me if I'm not back in VA with her by the time she's done.
She got me a gift, too, but we both decided to keep it a surprise.
I'm a little worried because I would imagine Jazz already has tons of sketchbooks that could use a little more filling up, but while I was at the store, that was the best idea I came up with.
I'm sure she'll be touched anyway.

Ha ha ha...I was thinking just now about how I should probably be studying for my upcoming finals. Christmas Break is coming to an end and as soon as I get back to school we'll have finals...not the very first day, of course, but close by.
I otherwise wouldn't need to study for anything if it weren't for the fact that my Theater 1 teacher wants us to know ALL the vocabulary words since the beginning of the semester...I think it's a little ridiculous because we had a vocab test every Friday and each vocab list consisted of 10 words....how many words is that I would have to memorize the definition of?!
I'm hoping that on the test it will be like matching instead of verbally like he normally does it.
It would raise my chances of passing that way.
All the other finals I'm not really worried about. I only have 2 classes a day, so that's only 4 finals, as opposed to 4 classes a day, in which I would have 8.
We have A days and B days, and we have different classes on both days.
I don't want to go back to school because of the tests...I don't want to go back to school because it's in the second half of the school year and Graduation would seem evermore fast approaching.
I know that ordinarily seniors are excited for graduation...but I'm not because I don't have my plans set in stone.
I'm looking at two schools....a culinary school...ECPI, I think it's called. And Johnson and Wales....
I would have to go to community college before getting accepted into ECPI...something about prerequisite courses.
And Johnson and Wales has just what I'm looking for. Application is free. They have rolling admission. They have a Baking and Pastry Arts course in Charlotte, North Carolina, and that's very close to Virginia...I'm just not sure about it because it's a private school and very prestigious, and while living with my mother I didn't do too well in school my first two years of high school.
I didn't fail, I just didn't pass with excellent grades...
And plus, I can't find a job to save my life...I can't drive...
I don't know if I would have to take more classes than just the ones I want.
That's why I've always been against going to college.
Because you have to pay up to 40k a year for classes you neither want nor need...I don't see the appeal.
That's why I think an ordinary culinary school is what's best for me.
I'm just a little worried, that's all.

^___^ ...I was just thinking about how my boyfriend is currently my only reader.
I hope to have more some day. I mean...I'm already worried that anyone who just happened to stop and read this would be bored and/or sick of it already...
Plus these are all things my boyfriend already knows about, so I think it's a little monotonous for him.
He's always told me that he likes listening to me talk, though...so I guess this would be like a small break from work to read what his girlfriend has to say, whether he knew it or not.
He's so sugar-sweet.
He buys me pretty much everything I want...mostly all I want is food, candy, occasionally makeup....but he bought me even more valuable things...
Last night he told me that to repay him all I had to do was love him, marry him, and have his child...I wanted to stop and cry tears of joy right then but we were at Safeway and that's just not a very romantic place to have special moments like that, you know?
But of course I had been planning to do all he asked of me anyway...so of course that leaves me still wanting to do more for him...
Once I get a respectable job, I'm going to buy him stuff...I'm going to pay for some of our dates, like going to the movies, or out to dinner, or even to a carnival.
He and I have only been together for 7 months, so we have yet to go to a carnival together.
Hmm...what else could we do for a date? Comment and give me some ideas.
Anyway, my dad is leaving for work, and that's kinda my cue to get dressed and then call Jazz.
Ha ha ha! I can't wait...even though it's just a few more minutes.
