December was a busy one for me. I finished my finals and headed home. I pretty much worked at the store the entire break, which was ok. I mean, the money was good, but telling people for the tenth time there is no "ground ham" here nor at any "Polish supermarkets" nearby made me want to gouge my own eyes out. But work is work, so I can't complain. As far as school goes, I'm worried as fuck. My GPA wasn't that good this semester, and I'm afraid I might lose my scholarship. I'm pissed as fuck because the two classes I got 2 Ds in I took in high school! Somehow, even with studying, I couldn't pass. Next semester, I think I'll get a tutor.
On the bright side, Pika's letter was unexpected and cute, and I finally finished my voice acting for a guy's video (I'll link it when it's done). I was also discussing maybe changing majors with my parents. Thankfully, they seemed rather supportive, but I'm still on the fence. I've wanted to do geology ever since I was a kid, but I just have a passion for history. Hell, my script for my latest YouTube video about the memes of world war 2 (also link when that's finished) almost done, and that was just for fun! I'm conflicted, but I know I've got to follow my heart.
In slightly more somber news, the Catholic Church associated with the Catholic school I went to as a kid (the one that turned a blind eye to me and my friends) is currently trying to build a new church, for some reason? They claim they wanted more room, but instead of upgrading and expanding the current church, they'd rather ask for FOUR MILLION DOLLARS from their parishioners to build an ungodly exorbitant new curch. Now this is absurd, and I'm not even going to get into how they practically bullied the poor guy who had the property where they're going to build it before them off of his own land! Even more crazy is that this is ON TOP OF a gym they have to rebuild after a hurricane destroyed the old one (in a dramatic twist of irony I might add, as the year prior they spent a stupid amount of money redoing the floor), for which they're asking for separate donations. If I sound mad, it's because I am, especially since my parents are hosting a giant fundraiser for the whole thing, complete with harassing people on social media! It makes me even more angry knowing that the church still refuses to accept there even IS a bullying problem, let alone try and fix it. And why should they, after all it's in their best interest not to: the troublesome kids have parents who happen to be the biggest donors. I want to speak out, but I'm so afraid of my parents' backlash. I don't want to lose my college education just because some assholes want a new playground. At the same time, I honestly hoped they fix the issues at that school, but watching them pull the same old bullshit, proving they've learned nothing makes my blood boil. Sometimes, the world sucks.
