7:48 Mid Sunday Evening   I'm Getting Out of Here My parents left. so far, my first full day of "in charge"ness of my sister has been fairly productive and good. i got up at about noon today. Due to my getting home at 2:45 am or so yesterday. it was nice to have that extra sleep though. I did laundry. woohoo. I even went to work! and i made sure the pets didn't starve to death! and i'm getting super awesomely amazing at giving Mickey his medicine. and stuff! the best part was when I found cheap tickets to portland for the day that I wanted to leave to go to Portland. Awesome. So I don't have tickets to come BACK yet, but I'm definitely going. because I bought them. Bwahahaha. So... after the semester ends, i will be able to destress in Portland. I'm still freaking out over my current academic situation, URCO, etc. but there is a glimmer of non-academic-related hope on the horizon.
