So I've stopped posting in here like I normally do.....oddly enough I saw this coming a mile away, since whenever I start a journal - be it irl, online, a public one or a private one for my eyes only - after a while I forget to write in it.
Long story short about the California entry, went to cali for a month. Had fun at home.
Went back to Mississippi for about six days then I was off to Europe. At first I was in England, pretty much hanging out with my mom and her professor in Cambridge for a few days. While there I hooked up with Foxy, online relationship.
So after a few days, my mom and her professor set off to London, and my father picked me up just before they left. Train, plane, car and I was in Germany....with a bunch of "relatives" I didn't really know.
Month in Germany. Got to know my family, though I mostly stayed in the house. I mean, I'm in a country where I can't speak the language, the house is out in the "sticks" as my step mom and my father put it....I could hear cows from my BEDROOM >>
I did enjoy myself there, met a lot of relatives and step family. My step mom's family likes me =3 This makes me happy.
What was interesting to me was that, my father's family lives right on the borders of Germany, France and Luxembourg (to those who don't know, it's a French-German country) so we would border hop from country to country. I like Luxembourg, pretty nice little country. Whereas with France, we only went into the German districts, so I never saw the "real" France. But it was fun, my father took me along the road that divides Germany and France, so it's like "Step over here, you're in Germany, step over there, and you're in France =D" lol I'm a dork
While in Germany we took a trip to Poland for 5 days or so. In Poland, we were out in the middle of nowhere....=.= There weren't even hotels in the area we were in, so we stayed on a PIG FARM DX
At least they had wi fi.....
The reason we were in Poland was because of my Grandmother. She's from the former German part of Poland (not Polish herself, thank god because I don't want to be Polish and I'm not >w< No offense to the Polish btw, I just don't want to be Polish >> wink So we were visiting her birthplace and where she grew up. Kinda weird to see the house she was born in, the school she went to growing up, and probably the weirdest of all, when her family moved out of Poland the house was given to the family of a guy who was head over heels for her, and still lives there. We met up with him o.o He kissed my cheek....then kissed my father's cheek......I shall never forget the day I was kissed by a Polish guy >>
Five days there, only my grandmother could speak Polish and only my father could speak English....fun translation times
Five days later back to Germany (*hallelujah chorus going*)
So back in Germany for another week or so then I go back to London, father drops me off with my mom, we spend a day in London where I had THE BEST INDIAN FOOD I EVER HAD X9 Then morning, quick breakfast, plane and home in Mississippi.
So a few days pass, then my school year starts again. Only thing: I only went the first day, haven't gone back to class since. I was so miserable last year that my mom finally said to me halfway through the year "Why don't you just drop out? High school is a waste of your time anyway."
And thus the gears were put into motion.
The reason I went the first day was to see if anything had improved since the previous year. Nope. And thus I don't go back.
A couple of weeks later, when the school finally noticed I hadn't been going for the past couple of weeks, they started calling. Mom and I went to try and get my principal to sign off and let me take the GED early. I told him I was miserable and I feel I would be happier if I went ahead and went to college, and my mom explained to him that the college was already asking if I was going to attend in the fall (which is a true story X3) and that I would be finished with my bachelors by the age of 22 if I went ahead and left high school 2 years early.
"No, I'm not going to sign it. I think the best thing for Savannah is that she stay in high school and graduate with her class. So I'll see her bright and early tomorrow morning."
wtf?
Ooooh, I was scared. My mom was PISSED o.o Her thing is that, how could he, the principal, know better than the PARENT about what's best for the child? >>
She went over his head, signed me into a homeschooling program specifically for students getting their GED. I was officially out of high school and into homeschooling program the next day =3 Also, that same day, JUST after everything became official, the principal of the high school called my mom and suggested that I do dual enrollment, meaning I attend both college and high school. Pf, I told him I was miserable in high school, and this is a direct quote: "Well I'm sorry to hear that." Meaning he's not really sorry, he's just sorry to hear it D< He either doesn't get that, or doesn't want to understand, that it's not just that I badly want to go to college and get a head start on my life, but it's also that I want to LEAVE HIGH SCHOOL. To the public education system, I'm simply a $ sign and test scores to them. ******** them =3
About the GED homeschooling program:
I would go from 8 in the morning to about 2:30 in the afternoon to this building where the classes were. First thing they did was to test me in the subject areas to see if I needed any help. Nope. I scored high in everything, and thus I was a "fast tracker" and I wouldn't be in there more than a week. I didn't even stay a full week, I was in there for three and a half days and I was DONE, just waiting to take the GED a couple weeks later.
Took the GED, got the scores a couple weeks later, I scored a 632, ABOVE AVERAGE. So now I'm officially done with high school =3 Just waiting until spring to start in the spring semester of college *is in the process of applying*
Anyway, that's been the bulk of my life. Somewhere in between coming back to MS and getting my GED I broke up with Foxy. He turned into a total a**, saying stuff like my PTSD is just some bullshit that doctors made up to make money and that getting a GED would make me look retarded -_- ******** him, we only really got along when we were flirting, otherwise we were fighting every other conversation. After a month I finally ended it. We tried being friends, but he wouldn't stop being a d*ck, so I put him on my ignored list for a while. Took him off today, but I doubt I'll be talking to him. We were better off as just friends who had crushes on each other than as a couple, and definitely better off than being exs who can't be friends....*sighs* I wish it was resolved better, but alas, he thinks I'm a b***h, I think he's a d*ck, so ******** it all.
My my this journal is really long >> Only a little bit more and I'm done ><
Well, as in my last couple of entries, my grandfather died....my mother's father.....*sigh* I miss him, and now I feel like I'm going to cry irl.....
It started with a stroke, he had a stroke and was admitted to the hospital. Thing is, the stroke was so minor that it barely showed up on the second scan, first scan showed nothing. So he was getting better, walking and talking, then one day he decided that he wanted to go home, and pulled out all the tubes and stuff that were in him. That set him back so far they had to start all over with his treatment, and he had a breathing tube, but they couldn't get it back in his throat, so they had to perform a tracheotomy....meaning they cut open his throat to put the tube in *cringe*
So a week or so like that, they had him tied down into his bed to keep him from fidgeting with the tubes. My mom talked them into loosening them, and they did take them off while we were visiting....then after we were back in MS for a couple of days or so he pulled them out AGAIN *sigh*
Mom and I didn't hear anything for over a week, we assumed he was getting better....then one morning my mom got call, her father had died of a heart attack....he had been having trouble breathing the past few days, then he had a heart attack and died........
He died October 25th, mom and I were back on the 27th or 28th, funeral was the 30th.......then we left the 2nd or 3rd or something....
So, not much else to say. I plan to visit his grave on a regular basis, or close to one.
Election happened, happy Obama won =3
And yesterday we dropped off Daisy to be spayed, got her back a few hours ago. I think Pikachu missed her, she seemed lonely last night and this morning. Though when we brought the kitten back Chuchu hissed at her and hit her once or twice >> Probably reassuring dominance, the beating up of the kitten seems to be finished.
Journal entry is finally finished, for those who actually read the whole thing: thank you =3
