Ready or Not..and a Random Ramble about Parents

"Get up! You'll be late for school!" As much as I didn't like having my sleep interrupted by that morning wake up call, I'm going to miss it. Mornings are going to be much more experimental now lol
Now that school is starting in about 38 hours and counting (yikes!) I realize that I'm not going to be able to stay up late, will have to wake up at an ungodly hour and I'll have to set a limit for the number of times I watch Kung Fu Panda each week =( lol I'm sure my weekdays won't always be long and dedicated only to school. I'll still make time for my daily bible reading, exercise, friends, exploring, chores, cooking, maybe a movie, and all that fun stuff =] gotta balance everything out
Let's see how my internal alarm clock does Monday morning =P jk I'll probably use an alarm or 2 to wake me up. The tough thing about living on your own is not having your parents to take care of you lol There's no one to cook for me and wake me up for school in the morning..I guess you could say I was a bit spoiled living with my parents till now, but I see it as my having the best parents ever! (the best for ME, since others may argue that they have the best parents lol) Many parents do so much for their children and even though they want us to be successful, I really don't think they expect anything in return so I want to show my love and appreciation for my parents as often as I can.
My dad told me nearly a year ago that I chose to be born in this family. He said we were all little angels once and were able to talk to God and choose the family we want to be born in. But we all forget about that after we're put here on Earth. I don't know who'll be reading this blog or what religion you have, but I just thought that was a cute story lol Sometimes when I think life and making donuts is tough, and when I wish for better things, I remember what my dad told me. I chose this humble life and I think of all the good things and people I already have in my life. So instead of wanting more or being frustrated about hardships, I'll be thankful and positive. After all, life can be like a game; I chose this challenge myself and I'm not going to lose =]

Family


I've never been away from home or my family and I miss them, but many people move away from home, some farther than others. I'm thankful that I have understanding parents and also that I have the opportunity to live and explore life while I can.
I see being away from my family as a way to bring us closer together. Being around each other every day and all the time can make people take things for granted. I realized that I appreciate and love my family more now, and I can't wait to go visit. I miss being with them, laughing and talking to them, watching movies, playing games, shopping, cooking and eating together and all that stuff. We may not be able to do those things now that we're in different states, but we do keep in touch almost every day though! haha so we're doing ok =]
Before I left for Ohio, time seemed to be passing by quickly. The date for my flight was approaching. I remember feeling sad especially when my parents would sadly bring up the subject of my going away but they tried to stay cheerful and support me ^^ I'm happy and glad to have them as my parents. I knew it was a difficult time for them though. Packing my stuff into cases didn't help much either lol My family and I started spending more time together and watched as many movies as we could. My siblings and I all watched some alien movies together..I was hiding under the blankets during Signs because I thought it'd be scary haha not much of a horror movie person
My sis reminded me that the last movie we watched together before I left was Madagascar 2 and I had fallen asleep halfway through it lol. I'm planning on watching Kung Fu Panda #1 and 2 so many times with my sisters, they'll probably get annoyed
After experiencing living on my own and being away from loved ones, I feel like a new, different person. I know my family worries about me but I worry about them as well. This makes me want to do my best  for them and for myself. They're always in my thoughts and prayers, and I know they're doing the same for me.
