Or as most people would call it.. Valentine's Day. Now I know it sounds pretty depressing of me to call this occasion by the day of the week it lands on, but believe me - it is with good reason. I know people would probably ask who am I to judge since I'm single, but just because I'm single doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. To me Valentine's day is another celebration derived from some past occurrence that no one is even 100% sure it happened. Okay, so maybe there is some indication that St. Valentine probably did exist, but this is just another time that Hallmark gets to make big bucks. Yeah, it's nice to have a day to celebrate the affection you have for another, but February 14th should not be the only day. Do not get me wrong, I love the idea of Valentine's Day. It is just that people sometimes blow it out of proportion. Rather than this being a day where two people show affection toward one another, it should be a day where two people are reminded of their affection for one another. There are slumps in relationships and it is occasions like this that have the potential of refreshing the bond. Now as for those who see this as single's awareness day.. haha well.. It is a pretty funny thing to joke about, but I know some people that take this point of view very seriously. Just because you are single on Valentine's Day does not mean you are forever alone (I, myself do love the weird internet rage thingys). Personally, I'd rather be alone for Valentine's day than settling for some random guy because I don't want to be lonely for one day of the year. This, like most things in life, should be taken with a grain of salt. I try not to let every little detail of life worry me; it is harder to lead a happier life that way. With all that being said, it is just my personal outtake on life and such.
Even though I did have that little spiel about Tuesday, it was truly a happy tuesday :)! I went to school and even went to the 6;55 ACT prep class :(. Then I proceeded to fail my second period test, it's whatever though; I didn't even try to study for it. Then my day went by normally but I was really happy. I think it was from all the chocolate that people were passing out, but I think seeing people in the halls was just nice. Usually people are really groggy or what not but there was just a really happy atmosphere in the halls. Anyways, so then I got to lunch. That is when I started noticing all the internet troll things chilling around the hallways. They just said a lot of common phrases that people say all the time. For example, there was one raging about how dirty the lunch rooms are. That is me every.single.day. Then there was one by the vending machine complaining about how chips get stuck. Right after Anita and I were done laughing about it, her sun chips got stuck. I think I am going to go on an adventure and take a picture of all of them. So then after lunch I went to class and turns out that I didn't have to read my assignment :)! That made me extremely happy because we just watched scenes from a really crappy Macbeth movie and laughed about it.
After that was Physics, which wasn't too exciting, but I did get all of my labs done :). Then after school I went to Freddie's with Anita because we're so b.a. for going out to eat instead of heading to work. Well, work wasn't even bad today. I had my favorite group of kids and they weren't even giving me that much of a hard time today. I think this is because Anita dealt with the kids that were hard to deal with.. Oh yeah, and after work, I quit. I told him that I couldn't handle all that I was doing. With all honestly, that was the truth. However, it wasn't even the times that I was working. It was a very, very draining job. I can't even describe how much weight was lifted from my shoulders when I talked to Mr. Zhou.. Anyways, so I got home and chilled for a while and then proceeded to procrastinate as usual. Then dad came home at about 8pm and we had dinner. It was nice. Dad is never really home because of work. We even had some light hearted conversation which is usually really awkward, but today, it wasn't. He was joking around about how he spent so much on Valentine's day (Justin's and my Kindle Fire arrived in the mail today). Then he got mother a new..filter thingy for her stove..? I forgot what it is called. Anyways, I joked back and told him he was dumb because instead of getting her that thing which probably cost about $200 he could of just got her some roses. He said he was being practical, mom said she would of preferred roses :(. It was so sad, she said she was tempted to buy herself flowers just because they looked so pretty when she went grocery shopping today. Then dad was joking about how one of the waitress' husband bought her a pot of flowers rather than a bouquet, because in the pot they would last longer. I think that is what I am going to buy mom for mothers day and her birthday. I am going to buy mother flowers more often.
For mother's day I am probably going to go out for a pot of flowers, a bouquet, then some fancy skin care thing. The pot of flowers will be labeled 'from dad', then the rest will be from my siblings and me (I usually buy the gifts then they pitch in some cash).
Anyways, after dinner and a shower, I decided to sit down and write about my day. It really was a good day. I was going to post about my kindle today too, but this is getting to be really long. I am beginning to like blogging and am afraid that I will no longer be able to do homework. It is 11;48 as I am typing this and no, I have not yet started my homework. Oh yeah, and tomorrow I have to go hunting for a gift for Tracey. This means that I will have no time to catch up on homework. Kinda sucks, but this is all self-inflicted :(. At least I am not making up excuses about why I don't have my homework done right?
Jenny
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I today to be one of my "break" days because daddy was home. yay! (:
