That would be referring to Rachel’s relatives, the ones I got to meet this past weekend. It was rather interesting, especially since most of Rachel’s family hadn’t seen these people in a good while either. Her grandma was cool, and her aunts and cousins seemed alright. Rachel and I and a few other members of her immediate family ended up being kind of antisocial, and slept on the couch and watched TV.
School is gathering steam for its last hurrah before the semester ends. I’ll have to use “Christmas break” to catch up on some other subjects that have slipped a little (or a lot) behind.
CompUSA again tomorrow, here’s to hoping they’ll actually start practically training me for the job. I think the guy in charge doesn’t have much experience with hiring people for some reason, because he has appeared confused throughout my experience with him. Perhaps he’s just naturally disorganized.
I finally got a Wacom tablet of my very own! After I wrestled with BestBuy, and made them remove their little price hike, and used my gift cards, I ended up paying $17 for the sapphire blue Graphire3. Heh, Best Buy tried to jack the price up $5 for some reason. When Rachel’s BB had it for MSRP, as did CompUSA. ::shrug:: I axed them with their own price guarantee, so that was all good.
Rachel’s family joined mine for Thanksgiving, which was totally awesome. I haven’t had a really fun Thanksgiving holiday in years. How about y’all? Anybody have an interesting holiday story? Now if only I can find something for Christmas. Anything to get out of the Family Gatherings the relatives on my Dad’s side throw at every special occasion (and a few that aren’t). Let’s hope they don’t see this. Heh.
Right now there are so many things that I am confused about. I don’t know what direction my life is going to take in some areas, and the uncertainty can be terrible. I want to just line everything up and make sense out of it, but there are some things that just don’t work that way. That, or they demand to be settled once and for all, and that decision is difficult to make. Sometimes I feel like shouting, “Will somebody please tell me what’s going on?” And then I realize it’s just going to echo, and everything will still be exactly the same.
Rachel is wonderful. There are so many things in both of our lives that are just nyargh. I wish I could step in and solve a few of the problems. So she wouldn’t have to work all the time to pay for school and stuff. Poor baby… I love you.
