I am finally more or less alive enough to update. My kidney is kinda feeling better, but man can it hurt like shit sometimes.
So yeah, school has been out for almost a month, and things have been okay. My family took a trip to go see some graves of family members. We actually found some dating back to around the revolutionary war. It was really cool. We also went and saw my grandma's parents and her other family. It was a bit sad for her. Not that the whole trip was an exhilarating time. It was a very sentimental trip, though. I even got a video game out of it. :P
So since I've gotten back from the trip I've spent most of my time playing Skyrim. I think I'm partially addicted to the game. I've never actually played it before about two weeks ago, so it is cool to see what the hype was about. I know Morrowind just came out, but I really wanted to try Skyrim. It isn't online with other people. Multiplayer isn't really my thing.
I'm a female Imperial. I married Onmund and adopted two kids. And I own three houses. I feel accomplished in life. I'm still working on leveling though. Most of my leveling has been coming from making my houses. I'm not complaining, though. I will take all the experience points I can get.
It feels nice to finally be branching out in my gaming. I used to base it on what my mom wanted me to get or would let me get, or what my friends recommended. Lately it has based on my choices and my choices alone. I think I'm finally building my library for myself (not that it isn't already huge :P). Being that I've been gaming my whole life, I really have had time for it to expand.
Being 17 is so weird. You aren't really a kid anymore, but you aren't an adult either. It is literally the most in-between year of being a teenager. It feels like I was just starting school, and then next June I'll be graduating. I'm not sure if I'm ready, but I kinda will have to be in less than a year.
I figured July would be the month to get my shit together. I'll be doing a few personal things for myself as well as working for various things involving school and college.
I am happy that things at home haven't been that bad lately, though. My grandma is working a few jobs, and my mom just had her first day of work today. It's only a Sunday job at the church, but it pays about $50 a week. It's more than nothing, and it should get my grandma off her back for awhile. I hope it works out for everyone.
Oh, and I finally got my SAT scores in the mail. I got a 1250 altogether (670 in reading/writing and 580 in math). I got to my goal of 1200, but people are telling me I should retake. I'm still not sure yet. I want to go to art school. It's not like they'll really look at my SAT scores too closely. Not to mention when I did my visit they had the "Why the hell does a kid with a 4.0 GPA want to go to art school?" face on. It's cuz I do. :|
I've got some work to do, but I'll try to update more often. Don't honestly know if that'll happen though. (Not that anyone cares :'|)
