I was able to go for the registration/orientation at Dowell J. Howard, today. My mom and sister took the metro into Vienna to give us a little bit more time. We got to D.J. Howard at about 4:45, 15 minutes ahead of time. We went in, I signed the visitor log, and got a sticker. Then my dad wrote the center a check for $45. My dad left to put some air in the car tires, while I went back to Room 112. There was a lady sitting outside the classroom door at a little table, and she filled out the necessary stuff on my form that was supposed to be filled out by an official. After that, I went into the room and sat down, then finished filling out the form and initialing and signing a Code of Conduct contract.
At about 5:05, the principal of Dowell J. Howard (I think) gave a little speech about how this whole thing worked, and then said once we had filled out our forms, to go up to the front of the class, hand the lady our forms, Social Security cards, government issued ID, and pre-registration form. Oh, and the check.
I then sat there until about 5:30, when some guy went up to the desk, handed the lady his stuff, and asked if he had to stay. She said, “Unless you want to see a video on how to use the calculate we provide, then no.” I thought about that, and about the time. Since we had to meet my mom and sister in Vienna, I just decided to get up and leave.
So, me and my dad went to the Vienna metro station around 7:15 and waited for about 45 minutes for my mom and Mariah to get there. On the way home, they told us a bunch of stuff about their trip. It got me really excited for when Andrew comes for Thanksgiving and/or Christmas. Last year for Christmas he got me this Sun Print kit, where the paper develops under direct sunlight. So you basically just lay some shape or design that you like on top, leave it in the sun for a few minutes, and you have a wicked silhouette. I really like it, but I’ve only used four of the ten sheets. I feel bad, because it seems like I never use it because I don’t like it. But I just never really have the time to make a photo, or the creativeness to think of what design I want to do next. For Christmas this year, I think I’ll make Andrew a skyline silhouette of New York. But if I do that, I’ll probably have to make something for everyone else. Oh well, I think I might enjoy delving into my creative side a bit more than I usually do!
I’ve also been thinking about my porn addiction. I think it’s really starting to become detrimental to other aspects of my life. So, my plan is to stop. Pretty much cold turkey. It’ll be hard, definitely, but I don’t need one single thing to get in my way, especially at this point in my life. I won’t delete the porn I have so far, but I will stop downloading anything new. It’s gone too far.
Anyway, back to topic. I’m finally all set to take the GED tests. It’s this Saturday at Lord Fairfax. I’m supposed to get something in the mail within the next couple days that will have more details. I need to find out what time testing starts and directions, if one or neither of those are included in the letter I get. I’m almost one huge step closer to my own life! I can’t wait, baby!
