Disappointed

I registered for classes and was ready to start school on Aug. 29. I am going to finish my English degree.  But going to school would require me to work part-time and with a teenage boy in the house we really couldn't afford that. So I had to withdraw from classes and it hurt. I hated that I had to put what I wanted on the back burner but I'll deal. And when the time is right I'll try again.

New House Guest

My cousin came to live with us. He got here on Sunday. I haven't seen him since he was a kid and didn't even recognize him when he walked by us. Luckily my dad recognized him and called out his name. The first couple of days with him here hasn't been too bad. He had a bad trip coming here with so many delays and running out of money and couldn't eat so I spent all of Monday trying to get in contact with Greyhound. We'll see how it goes. I'm nervous about having a teenage boy here. They eat so much and can be kind of messy but we'll see.

I Can't Hear...

I went to see The Help yesterday with my friend. I loved the movie, I read the book two times and I was happy Heather went with me but something wasn't quite right. As I sat in the theater trying to watch the movie I realized that I couldn't really  hear what was being said on the screen. I only caught half of what was said and was only able to follow along because I'd already read the book so many times.  It was weird because I knew I should be able to hear the movie. No I'm not saying that right I could "hear" the sounds and voices I couldn't understand what they were saying. I thought about the fact that everytime I see a movie in theater I have to rent the DVD when it comes out so that I can put on the Closed Captions and really follow the movie. I always miss something when I go to the theaters but it's still not as bad as it as this past weekend. I don't know what was happening but what happened at the movies made me realize something might not be right with my ears. I guess I'd have to try to figure out what to do.
