Lots on my mind.

I'm finally back in North Bay. Most people have interpreted this to mean that I'm no longer sick (I only wish that was the case) and I have to keep explaining that mono isn't something you recover from within a couple weeks, and I probably won't be better for a month or two. My damned spleen is still swollen, which makes lying on my side really uncomfortable. I feel good for the most part, just tired a lot. And I guess it's going to be this way for a while.

Being here is good, though. I love my room here. It's very, very me, and full of stuff. it makes me happy. Sloan, Beatles, Star Wars, KISS posters, pictures of my friends, my CD collection...how can I not be happy? It's good to be out of my house, too. I don't know what would have happened if I'd had to stay any longer. See, the day before I came back here, I took a nap in the afternoon, during which time my dad came home (my mom having been home all day) and I woke up to hear them having an argument of sorts. Or more specifically, to hear my mom unleash a fifteen minute litany of complaints about me to my dad. She hates me. Nothing I do is ever good enough for her. I've already gone through some of our problems in another entry but this was unbelievable...I can't even begin to talk about how hurt I was by this. And of course she then gets mad at me for shutting her out of my life.

That aside...

Yesterday I started James Redfield's "the Celestine Prophecy" and today I finished. Quite the book. A lot to think about, though, especially on an empty stomach. There are a few things in it that I'm inclined to disagree with, but on the whole, my mind is quite curious about the whole thing. And god knows I have enough time to think about stuff like that right now.

I go back to class tomorrow, with any luck. My history class was cancelled all last week, but hopefully it will happen tomorrow. And French tomorrow night...I hate evening classes. They're awful.
