End of the day… There were good things and bad things about today.

I talked to my grandma on the phone about staying with her, and she told me that my extended family sided with me on the issue of whether or not I needed to stay here for lieing or not. I guess that the only person that agreed with my parents was my oldest cousin. After asking Jessica about what happened during that argument (I guess my parents had to take a lot of shit), she said that my parents brought up the issue of Dean turning me gay again. She told me that she thought my dad was stupid for that idea. Apparently he asked her something along the lines of, “You wouldn’t want to have a gay brother, would you?” And I guess my sister told him, in so many words, that it didn’t matter to her. That made me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

Work was alright. Lots of socializing tonight, which is always good. I was really busy to start out with and I was worried that it would continue for the rest of the night and that I wouldn’t get anything done. For a while there, it looked like Christmas. After I got through that, work was pretty good. I left the place in really good shape. Everything was completely done, and it was totally clean. Also, Nancy left me some cookies that she had made. That was really nice of her.

After work I went to Dean’s and I put him to sleep. It was nice. I think he actually fell asleep, because he didn’t say anything when I left or even flinch. He bought me a penguin at the mall tonight and gave me a card, which was really sweet of him too. Good times with Dean. Things are working out with him amazingly better than I ever imagined.

Now Listening to:Beautiful Day
U2

Glancing upon my last entry I see that I wrote about not getting my haircut. Update on that: I did. I like my new haircut for the most part. It’s kind of fun to be able to just play with my hair.

I worked out my schedule for school yesterday, seeing where I had to be when and such. I filled out my new availability for work during the school year among other things. It seems like the summer has gone by so fast. Yet every day seems to go by as a blur of the same old routine, which is not true. I’ve done a lot this summer, but nothing really sticks out that much as a specific “summer” event.

Part of me wants to go back to school, but a larger part of me dreads going back to school. Next semester is going to be more difficult for me. My computer science class only meets two days a week, with no recitation, which makes me hope that it’s going to be an easier course than the one before. Computer engineering is waaay early, and I guess we’ll just have to wait and see about math and Spanish. School also means less time with Dean, which is not cool.

All in all, though, today has had nothing wrong with it. It’s been good for the whole hour that I’ve been awake. Probably no need to analyze anything any further.
