Then I went back to my parent's house for dinner, and my grandma was there. It was nice to see some friendly faces..AND have people who cared to hear all the little details in full length, like about my roomate problems and stuff. My friends don't care- they're like "would you SHUT UP already about your bad roomates??" BUT my parents were TOTALLY on my side and completely listened. That was just NICE. And it was almost like the whole family was there- my brother Chris called from Maryland and we all talked via speakerphone.

I also picked up my mail that was still going to my parents' house today. I've gotten some kind of Minority Academic Acheivement Award. I was sad though that my award was in the lowest bracket since I only have a 3.2- I KNOW I am capable of getting a 4.0- I hardly try and get decent grades...mostly Bs. If I just worked really hard I could have straight As...but I am so unmotivated. I'm hoping that maybe getting the award next Sunday will change that...and I'm hoping it's a monetary award, he he. :) But my guess is it's probably just a ceremony and a certficate.

Also in the mail, was FINALLY an invitation to my friend Emily's wedding May 18th. I was WONDERING if I was going to be invited at all!! I kinda thought I would actuallly BE in the wedding- I mean, we were best friends from ages 11-15; true, we've grown apart since then, but we've still managed to keep in touch the past 10 years and occastionally visit. So that kinda hurt...but at least I was finally invited. I was getting worried about that. So her wedding is in South Carolina. And I MAY be going to another wedding May 15th in Virginia...not sure yet...but I'm definitely planning on a trip up there.
