School used to start in September and end in June but they changed it to starting in August and ending in May.
They did that so the 1st semester ends before Christmas break. That way the kids can take their final exams while the information is still fresh in their brains.
Before the kids would take a 3 week vacation, come back and then take final exams.

Yesterday I think. Also Iron Maiden played two shows 3rd and 4th of which I couldn't go to so I was gutted. Saw a fair amount of people wearing shirts from it though today just to rub it in.
Been at the hospital for the past six hours, had to have an IV. 
My ear swelled up like a bastard for some reason, basically a giant boil on my lobe, so we went to the doctor to have it lanced off. This isn't my first rodeo, I've gotten three or four of these before, and we've had to have him take a scalpel to them in the past. Instead though, he told me to go down to the hospital beside his office to get an IV. Which was fine, except that we had to stay there for two and a half-hours for all the medicine to drain.

What happened?
So, what's up with everyone else?
@Nicholas: I once had a huge biol behind my ear. It hurt like hell until they lanced and drained it. They put me on oral antibiotics for 2 weeks. I guess, with yours, they felt it went on so long that they wanted to IV medicate. I, agree, it's no fun at all. Hope you're feeling better now that it's been lanced.

Hasn't been lanced, it's still there.

That sounds unpleasant but Im glad you got it taken care of.
Im good. Have to work in a bit but my babe is coming over afterwords.
As it turns out, the doctor, who for this story is named Dr. D-Bag made a mistake and I'll have to go to the hospital every day for the next three days to get I.V. and I'll have to stay for two and a half-hours for each of them. Dr. D-Bag neglected to tell us that I'd have to come back, and when we did find out, we made the twenty-five minute drive up there and they said that the rest of the medicine hadn't come yet. Dr. D-Bag didn't seem very apologetic, but I'll be leaving at 10 in the morning for the hospital again.
As for everything else, I found out that we actually won't be going out of .. village because the house that we found is still technically in the village. Actually, it's neither in the village or the nearby city, it's in-between, which seems counterproductive considering the entire reason for moving was to be close to my older brothers and nephew, but okay then. I suppose that it's fine, we're far out in the country and away from people now, which is the exact opposite of what we were going for, but okay then. I can't understand a lot of the logic in it but I find myself apathetic. I wanted a change of scenery, and the place is basically in the woods. I'll only be living there until either after high-school or after I get my graduate's degree, so I can't really complain.
*breaths*
The house looks nice. I'll be working on getting my license more diligently from this point on. The reason that I don't have my license is because my social-anxiety was making it very difficult to do a lot of things. When I was younger, I used to ditch class to throw-up in the bathroom because of how nervous I'd get, so it's no surprise that motor-vehicles were a problem. I tried to stop a lawnmower by dragging my feet once.
Anyway, my social-anxiety is handled, I have gotten in-shape, and I am the obnoxious loud-mouth that I always knew I could be.
