Oh my god, I'm having the most crazy-ass day ever... First of all, we had explore tests today, which is kind of like SATs only for Freshman. The whole Freshman class was in the gym by 8:15 and seated at desks in alphabetical order. I was supposed to be by Devin, but he had a fever today and apparently stayed home.

The tests, well, they were torture, as all tests are. but this one, lasted from 8:30 to like, NOON. We had a half an hour for each section. My god, it was horrible, because lately I've been having back problems and sitting in those uncomfortable chairs was NOT fun, at all, but anyway.

We had a full hour for lunch, since we had gotten out early from testing, and Katrell was really pissing me off. He was making his usual sick jokes, which aren't so bad if you try not to think about what they really  mean, but then he started making all these jokes about how "i'm his property." and how "he wants me, and only me" and he was only kidding, but I wasn't having a good day, so I seriously was about to kick his ass right there with a group of people telling me to.

Also, Cory got back from St. Louis this afternoon. He is now, officially, a part of the US Air Force! He doesn't ship out for training until January at least, but he is officially in the AF. *Smile*

Then, there's the horrid fact that today was Rachel's birthday. She's thirteen. God. The girl, is so freaking stupid, I'm not kidding... but that will come later.

Anyway, we went to Golden Corral for dinner, and the guy at the cash register apparently knew Cory when he was in High School. And this guy was being all nice, and then, once mom and dad were looking away, he would glance at me, and smile some kind of crooked half smile, that wasn't really a smirk or a smile. AND HE WAS CHECKING ME OUT! Seriously! I was being checked out by a nineteen year old! It was so bizarre, but actually he wasn't that bad looking. Not the kind of guy I'd usually call 'cute' but he was okay. His hair was a bit over-spiked, but other than that, he was cute, and nice. But still, I don't like him that way.

Anyway.

Then we got home, and Rachel opened her presents. She got two gift cards, jeans and a hoodie, pajamas, and a camera. And you know what she had the nerve to do? She complained because she didn't get 'what she wanted.' BS! How is anyone supposed to know what she wants, if she never tells us anything? The girl expects us to come up with some super huge present out of nowhere, and it doesn't work that way. Who are we? Fucking Santa Claus? Hell no! She started making a birthday list TWO DAYS AGO, and complained that she couldn't get on to work on it because I was working on my History Fair essay. >< The girl is freaking stupid.

Anyway, then comes this. i fell asleep after Rachel's presents, because my back was KILLING me, but I woke up in time to eat some chocolate ice cream with mom and Cory. I started telling mom how I was kind of freaking out, because I have a huge essay due in like two days and I have no clue what I'm doing, and I don't have time to use the living room or kitchen computers because I keep having to stop to let Rachel, Josh, or Dad have a turn, and mom said "well, what is it you'd like me to do? I can't do anything for you" and that kind of stuff, and I said "I just want my own computer back." And she went in her room, and cme out with my laptop and put it on the table and said "here." So, now, I HAVE MY LAPTOP BACK!!! I'm so happy!!! I'm borrowing my dad's charger cable for the night so he can fix mine, but I HAVE MY OWN LAPTOP BACK! WOO!

So yeah, happinessss.
