My mom is going to be gone from the tenth to the sixteenth. Life will be awesome. I don't think the paper is going to come out this month, but at least we have 8 brand new computers! Horray! And Mr. Roark, my art teacher from last year and the one I TA for offered to give me portraiture lessons during my TA period, which will be really really fucking cool. Portraits are something I can do really well. Love. <3 I want to find interesting pictures of people, models or whoever. Maybe people from the 40's... that'd be cool... He also said that he'd be more than willing to have photo-shoot things with my friends/family so I could do their portraits. That'd be illin.'

Anyway, I'm really excited for that. So yea, those are the good things in my life right now. The bad... well.. the same old shit, I guess. Feeling disconnected. Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Discontent. Dad's been in and out of the hospital again. I haven't seen him in a week and a half. I just saw my brother, though, and he's reading really well, but his mom hasn't been taking him to school these last two weeks.
