Study, study, study, blah!

I didn’t do much yesterday. I took pictures of some birds and I had to do four study guides for my abnormal psych class and study for my midterm today. I am pretty nervous about this midterm because it counts for a big chunk of our grade. I have always found it weird that our first midterm is only a month into school, especially since a lot of people have just got their schedules fixed a week ago. The study guides took me pretty much all day. When I was finished I started working on an art project for my best friend. This certain project is a lot more difficult than I thought it was going to be. It’s messy and takes a very long time to do. If it goes well hopefully I can start making them to sell on ETSY.
Oh yea, and for the last two days my brothers girlfriend has been spending the night at our house. I don’t really like this girl very much because she is pretty crazy. She has a bad temper, is the jealous type, and is nothing but drama. Even yesterday when my brother was cooking breakfast she started harping on him about something stupid. When she is at our house all she does is stay in his room and doesn’t even bother to say hello to me. I find this pretty rude, if you are going to spend so much time at my family’s home than you should at least acknowledge us. I once told me brother I didn’t think she liked me much and he said “I don’t think she likes me much either”. I honestly have no clue why he is still with her.

Freeways, gun shots, and cops! Oh MY!

I spent the day with my best friend on Sunday; we went to a few places and then had Greek food for dinner. First, we went to Joann’s craft store, the closest one is about 12 miles away so I had to take the freeway. Yesterday’s trip resulted in us getting lost a few times. Taking the wrong exits, merging onto the wrong freeway etc. My best friend always says we need to record ourselves to capture all the stupid things we do. Once we got to the store it was a big disappointment, they only had one thing I needed, so we decided to go to Michaels instead. On the way we saw a car that was ridiculous. The pic in the corner. Again TOM TOM got us lost, well not really but we did turn into the wrong shopping center. After we went to Michaels we went to go get some food and headed to my house, that’s when all the crazy stuff happened.
At around 11pm 3 cop cars arrived at my neighbor’s house, this happens pretty often because they are always screaming at each other. My dad has a police scanner so we hear what they say. Every time the police are called to this house, all they say is “yup the couple on _____ street”. Well when the last cop pulled up we heard several loud shots, at first I thought they were coming from my neighbor but next thing I know all 3 cop cars are speeding off towards another part of the city. We listened to the police scanner and they had no idea where the shots came from or who did it. It was scary taking my friend home because she lives in the same general area the shots came from; we saw several police cars patrolling the streets.
When I got home I decided to do some homework and once again my neighbors started yelling. The cops came two more times and then there was silence for a good 2 hours. At 3am I hear them yelling again and the cops came again, this time they took the guy to jail. Before I went to bed I couldn’t help but think about how some people can remain in relationships that are so screwed up. I always fear that I will end up like them, but I don’t think my best friend would let that happen.
