Bittersweet day
Posted July 9th 2009 at 03:44 AM by s_tor_m
Today has been pretty interesting, at least compared to the last few weeks. Earlier this morning, I discovered something called "infantile amnesia" aka amnesia that occurs in early childhood. After reading a little bit about it, I realized that it describes why I can't remember much of what happened until recently, and I'm pretty sure I had it. Although this isn't exactly a bad thing, it brought back a lot of memories I try hard everyday to not think about.
Right after finding this out, I had to go and take an assessment test at the college to figure out what classes I should take. I got my results back and apparently I scored well enough that I only need to take one class of English in order to get my degree, which is pretty damn cool.
And I didn't even know anything about it until today...so that was a nice surprise.
Tonight at dinner, I was really stressed about how I'm going to find financial aid to pay for all my courses...which I've been stressing over for months now. I tell my dad about it and he tells me that they'll pay for whatever classes I take for my first semester. Whaaaat?! My mom told me months ago that I'm on my own financially...and now my dad informs me of this? Right now, I'm both beyond relieved...but also a little annoyed that I spent all that time worrying for nothing. But I'm more relieved
After dinner, my dad asks if I can pick up my mom from the airport since he'll be at work. I agreed, but only before he says that my brother will be riding along too. I don't know how I'm going to handle that...an hour car ride with just me and him? I can hardly stand being in the same room as him for longer than 5 minutes. Really not looking forward to monday...
