Since Guinness, Layla and I moved out of the apartment and back into my mothers house, every ones been pretty depressed. Like most mothers she loves to nag and she hates my Hogg Island. Im not allowed to walk around the house with him...so if I want to hold him, it has to be in my room that has no cable (watching tv is guinness favorite pass time.) He's totally not acting like himself and now he has to spend alot more time in his tank...

Layla is scared to death of the big dogs. So she spends her time in my room or my moms room, something I'm not to fond of. She loved having full run of the apartment. It was her domain... Now shes carted from room to room for excersise. My mom totally digs her though and gets on me about how layla loves her more and all this crap. What is it with moms putting their kids down all the time?

Any way, I really miss danny and living at the apartment. This move back into my moms house has really got me down. NO PRIVACY! i feel like I'm 13 again. Danny has invited us to move back in but i dont want to go back so soon and have it not work out.

And SCHOOL! is any one in school? I cant stand college, High school in no way prepares you for it, or at least my school didnt... I'm already failing classes... Basic easy first year classes... Me?! IQ of 142 failing basic algebra because I havent done it since 7th grade... pshT!

Any way, Totally depressed...

Ps. Sorry to rant.

It's what is called REBELLION, of which you are still suffering!

Parents (I've had the pleasure), are set in their ways and have established a routine that to them is natural and you don't like it! LOL You will be in thoses shoes, dealing with a rebellious teen one day and it will hit you! I NOW UNDERSTAND!

History always repeats itself.

I also know the feeling of trying to remember something you learned years ago. It will come back. I still remember Avogadros Number, but don't have anything to do with chemistry in my line of work.

Well welcome back! Thingsll pick up, youll see. I too am in school and have made it into my 3rd year. he forst yuear was rough tho lol. Walking off the graduation stage of highscholl and literally frivng 3 hours and getting on a plane for basic, only to return 6 years later and expect to have an easy time with collage was not a smooth sailing as it sounds lol. Keep plugging away and one day youll be looking back and laughing.

No apology needed for your absence.
.
Don't worry about classes. My highschool was the same way as I am sure all are. They don't prepare you for college that well. Is this your first quarter/semester? If so, the first one is always the most difficult. However, the most beneficial, because you get a good idea of what to expect and what you have to do in order to prepare.
.
I was the same way when I started 5 years ago. In high school I didn't study. I still got great grades (yeah that's right, the frat boy is actually a good student

) but I used the same mentality going into my first quarter. Huge wake up call. You do have to study, you do have to put a lot of time and effort into it. It will get easier though. Just gotta find your own groove.
.
Keep your chin up!

youll be ok, just keep plugging away.

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar
That tomorrow
There'll be sun!

Just thinkin' about
Tomorrow
Clears away the cobwebs,
And the sorrow
'Til there's none!

When I'm stuck a day
That's gray,
And lonely,
I just stick out my chin
And Grin,
And Say,
Oh!

The sun'll come out
Tomorrow
So ya gotta hang on
'Til tomorrow
Come what may
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
I love ya Tomorrow!
You're always
A day
A way!
