american graduation... and other stuff.

So, the people i started freshman year with in America are now graduating... i got an email from jean just then, and tomorrow at 2pm, they'll be changing their tassels and throwing their graduation caps in the air^^ I'm so, so, SO jealous, but it's a little sad. i wish i was over there with them too, but at the same time, i'd rather be with everybody here. it really makes me think of cliché sayings like "you can't have everything", or "you can't be in two places at once". well... yeh... congratulations to all of them ^^

on a less happy/reminscent/whatever note, my dad has developed "grumpy old man syndrome". i swear, he's hit 60 and it's like some little switch in his brain has been switched on, which tells him that he has to be disagreeable and argumentative all the time, about EVERYTHING. and his cleaning/pedantic OCD has really gone through the roof. for example, we were making oatmeal cookies tonight, and he was watching me mix stuff together, and i dropped ONE oat on the floor. and as SOON as it happened, he made this face like it was the end of the world, and sighs REALLY loudly, and goes and gets a fricken sponge to pick it up with, and goes "sarah, i told you, that's why you don't put the bowl so close to the edge! because these accidents happen! okay? you hear me?" and i rolled my eyes and said in a slightly patronising way "yes, dad.." and then his expression changed really rapidly, and he goes "DON'T BE SMART WITH ME". O_O i was just like... wth. he's male PMSing. is this meant to happen when men turn 60? they get all mood-swingy and strange and all of their OCDs start becoming more prominent? meh, whatever.

anyway, i gotta go eat now... so yeh. ^^ cyaa <3
