30 weeks: Just another day in another world

It's a good thing when I haven't written any entries for a while because that means there's not too much going on and I'm feeling ok - enough to get by without venting at least, right?

Well, let's see. I'm going through a dry spell on mail these past few days. I think after receiving all those birthday cards, I can handle it for a while though. Seriously, I have never received this many birthday card in my life! (Other than my sweet 16 actually.) I'm really grateful and definitely felt loved, although an in-person visit would be extra nice! =)

My friend Maria was involved in a fight the other day. She was going to the shower and a girl in her wing barges into the bathroom demanding to shower first. When Maria doesn't let her, she starts swinging and scratching and yanking hair, etc. Nobody gets in trouble if an officer doesn't witness it. Some people can be so petty, it's ridiculous. I'm just so glad I only have another 6 months til the halfway house - although I am hearing many stories about it being even worse over there.

Other than the fight, nothing else is really new over here. I'm still reading lots, going to classes to pass time and regularly exercising. I'm determined to get in the shape of my life by the time I leave this place. Why not, right? It's harder to do here though considering the food they have - majorly lacking in vegetables and nutrients with a surplus in fatty greasy nasty meats and carbs and sugars. I'm trying my best though. God, I miss sushi and seafood.

On another note, my parents made up with each other and my dad is being nice to me. I think the 5 page letter I wrote him helped contribute to that. Plus, I supposed he had to be nice for my birthday, right? My mom's convinced that I have severe ADHD though. She sent me a book on how to help adult ADHD. As I was looking it over though, I found that I really couldn't relate to majority of the symptoms. And the ones that I have previously had, seem to be gone now. So maybe I did have some form of it in the past, but I definitely don't anymore. She thinks I'm in denial about it though. Whatever, I know myself better than anyone else, especially my mom, who is, unfortunately, often blind to any of my good qualities.

Well, I'm off to make some lunch. I'm making a simple tuna melt and some milk tea. Wish I had some tomatoes and red onions for it!
