Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year?

Yes. I know that Stanleycakes may have titled her post in this fashion first, but I had dibs! I don't even think I have ever heard her listen to Fallout Boy. Oh well. On to the post.

I wish I could do this more. But I really don't have the time.

My sophomore year of college is over. It's so hard to believe. So...let's take some time to reflect upon what has happened this year: the ups, the downs, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

I remember moving in like it was yesterday. Nothing too exciting happened. My mom helped me move in and stayed in the shittiest hotel in Cleveland.

I think the first significant thing that happened after I moved in was that I got a job. I went up to the Lonestar in North Olmsted and applied and got the job. Server. If you read my blog you already know that.

I also changed my major from Biology to Chemistry. I am going to be a high school chemistry teacher. Eventually.

I think that the most emotional thing that happened is something that I never even worry about now. In the fall of 2009, my father and the woman he is with, Teresa, had a fight and she kicked him out. He was homeless for a few days. I mentioned it to Kathy, his ex-wife and she told her kids. Her daughter, Amber, posted a comment on Teresa's myspace totally ripping her a new one for kicking my father out. Well, by the time that Teresa got the comment, she and my father were back together and things were fine (as fine as they are for those two. I will blog about their dysfunctional relationship later). Needless to say, she was extremely angry and my father was angry that I had told someone else what had happened. He called me up yelling and said: "I love you Sha-Ray, but I am not going to let you ruin my happiness." I don't remember what he said, but he threatened to disown me. Then, it was a big deal. Now, it's not.

That same day, Andy was in an accident on his way home. He was fine, but it was really scary.

Thanksgiving break was amazing. Read my post on it if you want to know about it.

My chemistry prof found out he had cancer and is now well on his way to beating it.

Christmas break was spent at my mom's house in Alabama. Nothing to exciting happened there. I had a good Christmas.

Spring break: Florida with Stanleycakes. (check out her blog, link above) That was really fun.

Easter and Andy's house. Fun event. Had Polish food that was terrible for you. Nothing too exciting happened there.

I spent a lot of time with Amanda (Stanleycakes). We got really close and I am glad. I don't know what I would do without her. She went through a LOT of ups and downs over the year. But that is her story to tell, not mine.

Andy. He is amazing. I love him more than anything. I don't want to sound all cliche and say that we got closer over the year, because we obviously did. I feel like we have been together a lot longer than a year and a half. I am planning to write a blog about the two of us later.

And that's pretty much all that happened. It was not a very eventful year. I feel like I got closer to some, and that I drifted away from others.

It was a good year, as far as I am concerned. :)
