And one pasta with meatless balls?

I guess I've settled into a nice little place where I'm perfectly content doing nothing. I'll get to a point in the next few days that I might call someone and see if they want to hang out, but I just need a short break from life. People, activity, school work, whatever. I want to go on Tumblr, youtube, try cooking stuff, read books and watch musicals without having to care what other people are doing.

Monday until Wednesday I visited family. We went to the sticks to visit my dad's side of the family, the regular sitting around for a few hours after eating large portions of food. That evening we went to Hillsborough, possibly the most boring town on the face of the earth, the kind of town that shuns you if you weren't born there. There I saw all these people that I've never seen before in my life and ate terrible casseroles that all included way too much potato. I amused myself by chasing around my one and a half year old 1st cousin (my cousin's kid), Kari, making sure she didn't get lost. She's so adorable.

We stayed in the rather empty town of Sackville with my grandparents, didn't do much on Tuesday, and Wednesday visited my now split mom's parents in Shediac for several hours of slightly awkward conversation. 

*start small rant*
Through all these days of visiting, I realized that my relatives on my dad's side view me as the one who will succeed out of my cousins. I have three cousins older than me, only one of whom graduated from high school, but immediately got pregnant afterwards. It looks like I not only will graduate from high school, but I'm going to go to university, I don't get around and I'm responsible. Damn, my family has hopes for me. AHHH. PRESSURE.
*finish small rant*

Now I shall eat carrot soup. 
Love,
