from my window seat

so today i picked up my new glasses (spiffy, eh?) and i recognized the guy who got them for me from the back from elementary school, and i think he recognized me too. so i looked at his name tag, and sure enough "eshan" was his name, he had a crush on me in like 6th grade and i didn't like him and i think that's why he didn't say anything. funny. i am a scaredy cat when it comes to that kinda thing! always wait for the other person to recognize me first.. actually i think i am turning into more of a scaredy cat lately. i used to be a big shy wuss before.. for like, ever, then i grew some balls and became less of one, and now i think i am wussy and vulnerable again! geez!
but then i wore my glasses out the store and dang! they are waaaaaay different than my old ones. everything was like warped and bubbly it was so weird to actually see! much different than contacts. i will get used to them.
i'm excited to be leaving on friday. it feels like the home stretch. i had a nice break, even though i just worked. it was good to hang out with my family. i had fun at the dinner party last night! tomorrow hopefully i will hang out with two of my other aunts and uncles, i think it will be fun. i didn't really hang out with my friends at all, and i think as a result i'm much more relaxed. we're on different schedules, i guess, whatever. i think i've realized last year how much i am grateful for my family. all of them, and all of their craziness. on both sides. how can family NOT care? i think sometimes it seems like they don't. "everyone's on different schedules," but when it all boils down, family is family. who cares about all the other bullshit? other people suck. anyways, it's the home stretch. i'm out of reston, this hellhole that i thought i missed, and i can finally have some fun for about a week, get through next semester, and i can live on my own this summer. i can be with steve and friend davey baby!
