Clueless Christmas

My Christmas was actually really good. I think it's one of the firsts where pretty much everything has gone really well. No fights which is a miracle considering we were all in a house together for four days. I got a lot of cool stuff for Christmas: Noise cancelling headphones, Sad Ghost Club sweater, Everclear T-shirt, socks, Itunes gift card, jewelry, and neck pillow. We played tons of Skee Ball and got lots of tickets for prizes. My nephew came with us to the coast as well. He was pretty well behaved, and he's so cute anymore. He's started talking more, and Brandon actually let me watch him for a little bit while he and his girlfriend were busy doing other things. Out of everyone in my family I do see him the most besides Brandon. My dad made a few comments about wanting another grandkid, but I have no fucking clue where the second one is coming from. Josh would be the next sibling to have a kid, and he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so I guess it's just up to Brandon. I am definitely not having a kid any time soon. It will probably be another ten years before I even consider having a kid.
One unusual thing that happened on Christmas was I was allowed to drink. My grandma let me have a mamosa for breakfast because everyone was having, and my dad let me have a Spanish Coffee. I also took sips of Josh's wine when no one was looking. Also on the way home my dad had me drive for a little bit which hardly ever happens unless it's on a road I've driven before. I guess this means I'm growing up, and my family is starting to accept. The only thing is I'm not sure I'm as ready as I've been saying. I'm terrified because I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing. 

Good Grades for Christmas

I've been home for over a week now, and I've spent more time with my dad's girlfriend than my dad. I've also probably spent more time with my brother Brandon and his girlfriend than my dad. Apparently, now that I don't live here, he's hardly ever home. It's kind of weird honestly. I think next year since I won't be living in the dorms, I'm going to stay in Seattle for most of my Christmas Break. After all there isn't much for me to do here, and the only reason to come home is to go to the coast for Christmas. Everyone goes to the coast, so then I could see everyone at once, and then go back to my apartment afterwards. The only thing is that I have been able to see some of my friends, but I don't need over three weeks here just to see my friends and family. I only need about week here, and then I could spend the rest of my break doing whatever the hell I wanted in Seattle.
Yesterday, my grades were posted. It turns out I got a 4.00 for my first quarter, not too shabby if I do say so myself. My dad is the only person I told. I texted him a picture of my grades, and he seemed pretty excited for me. Maybe my college will look at how well I'm doing and decide to give me more money, but somehow I doubt that. If only dreams could come true. I suppose some do. Just not all of them. 

Company Christmas Party

I've been home for about three days now. I got home Wednesday night by train. Actually, I got a half hour away from home by train, and my dad drove me the rest of the way. The first thing we did was eat at my favorite Mexican restaurant in town. It was the first time I've had real Mexican food for three months which honestly has been kind of brutal for me. Even though I'm not Mexican, I grew up eating a lot of Mexican food. After that we went home, and I didn't really do anything until the next day. I got my haircut, deposited some money, visited my friend, and bought a pack of razors because I accidentally left mine in my dorm. It was all so exciting I could barely contain myself. Haha.
Today, we had the first company Christmas Party which involved eight people, most of them related to me or dating some related to me. It was a very long party where everyone was allowed to drink besides me, but we had lots of good food which made me very happy. I'm going to work tomorrow though because I don't really have anything else to do with my time, and I figured I might as well make some money while I'm home for break. 

Facebook Cred

This week is finals week, surprisingly I'm not that nervous for it. Instead I've been obsessing over a new album discovering, Carry the Ghost by Noah Gundersen. I freaking love this album right. Selfish Art is probably my favorite song on it, and currently my favorite song. I don't really wanna listen to anything else right now. I've been trying to get my dad to listen this album, but he hasn't yet. I want someone to talk to about it, but hopefully he'll listen to it by the time I get home this Wednesday. Also, another cool thing that happened music related is my dad bought tickets to go see Bruce Springsteen!! I can't wait! It's going to be the best thing ever! The concert is the Sunday before my finals for next quarter, and I won't be getting back until Monday, but I have only two finals on that Tuesday and Wednesday, so it shouldn't really interfere. Besides it's totally worth it to go see Springsteen in concert. This could be my only chance since he's getting to be kind of old. I mean I know the guy is extremely energetic, but how much longer can he maintain that? So I might as well go see him now.
Yesterday, my dad sent me a picture of him holding the orange kitty on a street, and I said that the orange kitty was so cute. My dad texted back, "Nice smile dad. Lol," to which I responded "that too." I later posted the picture on Facebook, and he texted me saying, "Wow Stacy. Thanks for the Facebook notoriety." I told him if we were friends I could have tagged him, and he said that wouldn't be a good idea. So I said jokingly, "Why won't my parents be friends with me?!" He then got out his laptop and added me as friend as well as his girlfriend. He said he had to build up his Facebook cred.  

Dressember

Well, it's dead week. I've never heard of dead week before this week, but I get why it's called that. I'm so tired and want the quarter to be over with already. I get to go home next week. I'm pretty excited to take the train. Also, I'm going to get new strings on my violin which I'm very happy about it. This past week my strings have fallen completely out of place, so I think I need new strings or either that my violin is messed up. I'm hoping I just need new strings. I went and got my boot back today. The new zipper works quite nicely. I'm so happy I finally have my boots again. I missed my Dr. Marten's so much these past few weeks.
I have my last class of Aural Skills tomorrow until next quarter that is. I'm so happy that I have month off from that class. I don't like it at all. I only have one final really which is in Music Theory, but I think it will be fairly easy. I've gotten all A's on the quizzes, so I think I'll be fine for the test. For my other final I just have to do a group presentation which I hope we'll have finished by Tuesday. GAH, I JUST WANT THIS WEEK TO BE OVER.
Also, I have a friend participating in Dressember this month. She's wearing a dress every day of the month to help raise awareness about human trafficking. It's also a fundraiser. She has a page at https://support.dressemberfoundation.org/fundraise?fcid=570189
If you can I hope you will donate because it's for a really great.
