Aloha! I skipped a day. I know you're really disappointed.
HERE I AM in good ol' Washington, D.C. Haven't seen my dad for over a month, which is a hell of a long time if you ask me.
My senior year got off to a bit of a rough start. My older brother left for Gustavus Adolphus (hey yeah! number two on my list!) and then about a week and a half later, off goes my dad to DC. So basically it was an estrogen filled beginning to the school year. My teachers have been nice enough to cut me a bit of slack (kind of. Still had to do that Adventuras con Erik Estrada for Spanish 4, dangit) and my friends have been nicely supportive. Still, I won't pretend it's been a picnic. You spend 18 years with your family then all of a sudden- see ya in a few weeks! Or a few months! Or next year!
It's a weird sensation. Also sad. My dog likes to lay in the hallway and whimper while staring at my brother's room. Hmmm. Wonder if she'd do that if I left? Probably not.
ANYWAY. D.C is a beautiful city. It's a bit chilly right now but it's so cool with all the fall colours and such. And tomorrow is the Swearing-In ceremony for my dad! Very official sounding. Now I must be off for the scenic tour! Wheeee!
S'laters.
So yesterday I was really excited about going to my dad's swearing in ceremony. However, the presence of nausea, dizziness, losing vision, and excruciating abdominal pain guaranteed me my first ever trip to the ER. It was a pain in the ass. Literally. So no swearing in ceremony was attended, but on the bright side (er...) I have a hospital bracelet from George Washington University Hospital and three prescriptions. Yay.
On the actual bright side, my mom and I visitied the Newseum before all that shenanigans occured. It was SO cool for someone interested in journalism. Also, she and I were asked two (and kind of a half) times today if we were twins. Hahahahah.
That's all for now. S'laters for realsies.
