So, today officially begins my two weeks of no school. I mean, yesterday didn't really count because everyone didn't have school because it was a holiday.
So, what did I do today?
I woke up at 9:30 and made a list of errands that I needed to take care of. There were at least 12 items on that list.
By the end of the day, I marked off four. I think.
I spent more time writing inbetween the errands and contemplation of errands. But it wasn't like I was sitting watching TV all day.
I have two weeks to finish the rest of it. I think that I'm going at a good rate.
Today, I was taught a lesson in patience. So, usually my younger brother calls me to ask for help on his homework. But I was watching something and he just happened to call at a climax of one of the scenes.
And I got irritated.
Then I remembered that my brother isn't the same as me. He doesn't learn the same way I did. He doesn't have the same pressure to succeed that I did.
He's just different.
And then I felt bad for choosing the television over him.
Gosh, I felt like a horrible person.
I mean, I helped him with whatever he needed help with, I just didn't sound like the happiest person doing it.
A lesson in patience.
Cause for a smile:
I actually got to hear my brother's voice today. I mean, I got to hear it a few days ago, but I only realized that it happened today. I really need to learn how to appreciate phone calls more.
Speaking of phone calls, I got a really funny phone call from my mom using a secret phone at her working place. She was hiding out. And she called me to tell me that she was hiding out and if I needed her, then I needed to call that number.
I thought that it was funny.
Also, today began the week where all of my shows come back after the winter hiatus. Now I have something to do for two weeks.
And one of my best friends is finalizing her plans to come and stay with me during her Spring Break! Yay!
That means that I have to book my flight to go and see her too.
Another one of my errands to run.
