Days like today.

Wow, I went a whole two days without posting anything. My apologies to everyone who doesn't read this thing.

So today was just great. Absolutely wonderful. I wish every day could be like today. Wait, haven't I said that before? Well, yeah. Still, days like today are just great. John came over, we ate macaroni & watched Pokemon, went to JC Penney's to run an errand for my mom, and then came back home and spent the rest of the afternoon being completely lazy. We ended up in my room, just laying there on the bed. I actually fell asleep for about 10 minutes or so. Not sure about him though.

Anyway, it was wonderful. I just enjoy doing that with him so much. And no, not because I think it'll lead to something else. I know it won't. And not because I'm some kind of hormonal teenager, either. I have more maturity and self-control than that, believe me. I just enjoy it because when I'm with him like that, it's really the only time I feel truly relaxed. It's the only time I feel like everything's really ok - like I don't have to worry about school or getting a job or...anything. It's just calm. And yeah, I know I talk about that 'comfortable' feeling - the one that seems to happen every time Naia's around - but it's not really the same thing. I mean, when it's just me and him like that, it is still comforting. But it's...it's just different.

I'm sort of dreading tomorrow. Nothing's really going on, I just hate B-days. I have school until 3:15, and then I have to go right back for English at 5:40. But I'll have to leave my house by 5, just to beat the traffic and get to class a few minutes early. And John has to close tomorrow, so I won't get to see him at all, which sucks. Unless I talk to him on the webcam, but his dad's all uptight about that now so I don't know if I'll get to. But there's always Wednesday.

I'm supposed to be going with John to see some guy about getting a tattoo. I just don't know if we'll be doing that Wednesday or not. I have to go back to Bi-Lo to do some paperwork with the manager. Hopefully I really am getting the job. I mean, I hate that I'll be losing my free time, my time to spend with John, but hey - I need the money. I'll still be able to see him though. We'll still have our weekends. So it won't be the end of the world. I just know I'll probably be dead tired every night.

You know, I'm starting to wish I'd changed my school schedule at the beginning of the year. I'm starting to wish I hadn't taken Teacher Cadets, especially. I'm really starting to hate that class. And it's not that I don't like the teacher or the people in there. I just know I'm not going to be a teacher. I feel like I belong in the medical field, not in the classroom. And Mrs. Hiott just keeps piling stuff on top of us. She's making it harder and harder for me to stay enthused about the class. And the only thing I'm actually looking forward to is my brochure project for Anderson University. And that's only because I like to get creative with that kind of stuff, and I get to interview my own boyfriend. But even with that, it's just hard to stay excited about the class anymore. And the worst part is, I know I'm not going to teach, so I know there's no point in me taking the class. But I can't drop it now. If I'd had any idea how it would be at the beginning of the year, I would've dropped it. That would've given me a whole extra hour and a half out of school every other day. But I did the 'smart' thing and stuck it out so I could get college credit. And honestly, I regret it now.

I just hate B-days, because they completely drain the energy out of me. It's like a freaking boot camp or something. But then again, that's what makes days like today so great.

Man, John's Internet just crashed. I hate it when that happens. He's probably right though - I bet his dad has something to do with it, since it stops working every night around the same time. We didn't even get to talk on the webcam, man. That's the best part! Haha, really - I like talking to him on the webcam better than just typing back and forth. It's more fun when I actually get to see him.

My good friend Kellie just informed me that she's off Saturday, so we can go shopping for prom dresses. She's going with me to The Castle Prom and Bridal in Spartanburg. That'll be fun. We'll get to have a girls' day out - shop for dresses, eat lunch, goof off - just whatever. And that'll make it easier on my mom. Since Kellie's going, Mom can just stay home and clean or go to the grocery store or do whatever she wants to do. And then, Saturday night, I'm sure John and I will be doing something together...whether it's going to the movies, the mall, Waffle House...something.

And Pam said she wants to take me and John to the movies at some point this week, if not over the weekend. So that's one more thing I have to look forward to. And on the plus side, I only have two B-days to endure this week. Man, this week will be over in no time. Not that I'm complaining though.

Anyway, I have nothing else to do, so I'm going to go straighten my hair and go to bed.

Goodnight.
