Today I had two instances where being nice to people gives benefits. I was able to get a $400 scholarship from the NHS since my Chemistry teacher runs the organization in my school and I also was able to get a $3 ticket for $2 since that was all I had. Actually, make that three instances because at the end of the day I was able to hang out in a classroom near the door out to the buses because the teacher there likes me. Today was a pretty good day I guess. Besides saying an really inappropriate comment yesterday in Economics class I was able to shrug that off (blame corn).
So currently I'm still living at my grandmother's which is fine and everything. She's a really nice lady whose husband passed away a year or two ago, I don't remember exactly. She's cool enough not to get bothered by it too much and she let's us stay here and she makes food sometimes and it's fine. Since my bus ride to school takes like 50 minutes to and 50 minutes back I have a lot of time to kill and since my brother gave me his portable music/video player I have been quite entertained during my commute. Currently, I have been watching Dexter episodes for like the past month. I'm half way through season 2 right now and it's fine and stuff. It's like being in another world for me and I like Dexter's thoughts and monologues and such.
My parents still hate each other, but that's nothing new. Another problem is they're never home at my Grandmother's house. Plus it seems they bought a new car without thinking (again). I'm not sure how well getting a V8 Dodge Durango (this is the second one, the other got totaled!) will do you when gas is $5.00 a gallon and getting to work is 40 minutes away every damn day, besides going out every night. They're not even home right now and it's
11pm. I seriously go to sleep before they even come home every day and they leave usually around 4 or 5pm. I have no time to talk to them about college or anything and I even have an appointment to go tomorrow, maybe I should finish my driver's license so I can drive the imaginary car we don't own and can't afford. I guess it's better than abusive parents but parents who are never here kinda sucks too. It's like being malnourished.
Don't really know what else to say. Last period in school I finished all my assigned work, watched Dexter on the way back home (DARK DEFENDER
), I took a nap today because I was tired, made dinner for my brother, ate a pizza my Grandmother ordered (since she's actually home), played game 5 of Higurashi which has been focusing on an older brother and things hehehe, and now I'm going to bed for the endless cycle of days ahead of me...
EDIT:
Toady bumps me and Duke off onto this previous page so he can rule among the top, hehehe.
