Well, this morning my dad officially left for his two week tri[ to Brazil for his buisiness down there. He'll miss my first day of school and freshman orientation, but mostly I'm happy because I have a friend who I talk to on the phone every night, and she lives in Washington state, so she's two hours behind me. So it'll be like two in the morning over here and I'll be talking to her and it's not as late over there. So I have to be careful with my parents. However, now that my dad's gone and my mom works night shifts at a hospital as a nurse, I'll be able to stay up really late talking to her. Yay.
