Weekend, school...

This weekend was exactly what I needed. My best friend, her roommate and another girl from the dorm took a road trip up to my friend's house for the whole weekend for her birthday. It was great to get away from my parents for 3 entire days and plus it was just really fun. The house is in a small town, so we spent time actually talking instead of just clubbing or whatever... Mario Kart, air hockey, swimming, and a little Guitar Hero. Another night we watched chick-flicks into the wee hours of the morning and then talked the rest of the night. It was like being 13 again, but with a car. We met up with some guys there too, and one of them was amazingly gorgeous! =)

My bff cried when I gave her my present. I took a tissue box (one of our inside jokes) and then wrote the lyrics to our song out on all the tissues. Then I put two CDs from the people who sing the song in the bottom. I love giving people (especially my close friends) something that they will remember years from now. The whole weekend was perfect - for the first time in a long time, nothing went wrong.

Anyway, now it's back to stressful school. I got home around 7:30 tonight (it's a three hour drive), and I've been doing homework and packing since then, and I'm still not finished (It's now almost 12:30am). I had to pack a lot though because I'll be at dad's tomorrow and Tuesday night, then I'm a Freshman Trip instructor until Saturday morning. Homework is really killing me. Lately the load is at like 4 - 4.5 hours per night. There are just not enough hours in the day, and I'm starting to be able to tell. I'm so tired all the time. This year is soo stressful. It's ridiculous. It's like I have a great weekend, but I have a huge price to pay for it tonight and tomorrow. Is all this really necessary to get into college? C'mon, I'm seventeen.
