-So today was a pretty good day. Scheduled a appointment with my advisor today so I can figure out my class schudule for next semester and the summer. But anyways it is going by so fast I can't believe my first year of college is almost over with, but that is a good thing, lol. I will have to apply to Illinois State University in September, time flies when you are having fun I guess. Bad new today though, my dad found out that he will be losing his job at Mitsubishi in March because they are cutting a bunch of people. He was only thru temporary services and that is why they cut him. He can get un-employment and my family will be ok it is just sad because he was there for like 3 or so years I think. I know he will find something else but I feel bad because my dad is a hard worker, he is the type of man that if his boss asked him to jump he would say how far, well in a sense. Now I realize why my dad is the way he is. It is because he wants me, my sister, and my little bro. to do the best we can and not struggle. My family isn't struggling but of course there have been times. It is hard to explain but I don't complain when my dad asks me to do something that I may not want to do like come home early or give me an early curfew because he just wants me and my siblings to get the full advantage out of life. I don't want and early curfew but I guess if it will make him feel better I will do it. I don't plan on living at home forever so I guess while I am at home might as well make life easier for my parents because they have only done that for me, if ya know what I mean. Life will keep going and things will get better again. Sorry if this is confusing it is hard to explain sometimes how I feel, lol. stubbs
