Dad

So Dad is very particular about our presents. We cannot pick up the packages and shake them. We cannot know what we are getting or he will take it back (thankfully there are exceptions to the rule). And we cannot loiter around the tree. This is very ironic to me because, when he was younger he tricked his little sister into telling him what his parents got him. He got my Aunt Sharon confussed by naming off things that they could have gotten and for some reason she ended up saying, "No, they did not get you a bike.", when he had asked if they got him new shoes or something. I really don't want anything major this year. Just texting. lol My friends in Arkansas and Okahoma have it and its annoying to get text messages say hey and whats up, when I can't reply.

Christmas Presents

Today we went to Evansville. We went to the mall to go shoping for Christmas presents. One bad thing about driving my parents around is when we go into the store they want, usually I see what they are buying. So today we went into Vanity to buy Hopie a new robe, I got to pick out my own for Christmas. My parents are strict about presents. Dad won't let us wear our new clothes until Christmas day. So I got new tennis shoes, and I can't wear them yet and the tennis shoes I currently have, have holes in them. So I'm just going to have to wait. Thankfully I don't know all my presents. The most I have seen are the clothes and tennis shoes. I don't know what to get Eli. He's very self reliant and he usually buys what he needs himself. Like yesterday sometime he bought himself a new Bible and Dad was saying he would have gotten it for him.

Last Weeks

I really don't like the last weeks of school. The week before finals is the worst. Teachers giving out their last assignments. Ugh. I had three essays due this week. Next week is going to be better and worse. Better, because I can focus on one class at a time and worse because I have to do REALLY well on the tests. Hopefully I can get out of four finals. So far I have to go all day Tue., Wed. morning, and hopefully my last final will be Thr. afternoon, but thats only if I can get out of my Chem. final. Hope's last final is Friday I think, and Eli's last day is Friday too. I'm going to be happy to have them home for a while. It's strange being here with out them. Mom and Dad act differently when it's just me here.
