I think I made myself sick of knitting by doing pretty much nothing but knit in front of the TV for the first four days I was here. And now I don't want to go near the needles, and I need to at least finish Tiffany's hat by Monday night. I think I'm just going to buy something for Cate, and maybe for Tiffany, on Sunday, since I'm supposed to be going to the mall with Nick. I don't know. At least I don't have to make that hat for my dad now.
I have decided that Christmas vacation is just an extended version of Thanksgiving vacation - there's a lot of heavy food that I'm pretty much expected to eat, and I'm isolated from most of my friends, so I'm kind of lonely and cranky most of the time. But at least I finally managed to hook my PS2 up to the TV in the basement, so I can re-play FF9 in leiu of actually going out and talking to people. Most of my friends from home no longer live in Jackson anyway, so I have one person I can visit, and I can only handle him for a certain amount of time. At least I'm able to make plans with people from school. Like I said, I'm supposed to go to the mall in Lansing with Nick, and I might go visit Zac after Christmas. And Katie's been asking when I'll be back in Kalamazoo, so I'll see what I can do about visiting her. I still want school to start up soon.
Speaking of school, I got my grades back: BA, CB, C, C, GPA dropped from 2.81 to 2.76. Mom seemed kinda disappointed, but she usually lets me guilt myself about these things rather than yelling at me, unless I fail a class. Dad... well, I haven't told him. He gets rather anal about these things, so he's going to lay a guilt trip on me and tell me about how I can do so much better. All I have to say is, if he pulls that "I was dumbed myself down in school because it wasn't cool to have good grades" crap again, I'm going to tell him to go fuck himself.
I've been getting a lot of headaches (which tend to border on, if not be full-out, migraines) lately, and I'm not sure why. It really sucks. At least Midol seems to help a little. I don't know what I'd do without it.
