There should be more weekends.

Yesterday was pretty good. It was a Friday, which automatically makes it awesome. I finished reading Pride and Prejudice and I loved it. I started watching the five hour long movie starring Colin Firth, courtesy of my awesome friend Molly. It's really accurate and true to the book. the actor who plays Mr. Bennett is really funny! Mrs. Itaya postponed the test to Thursday, so I have more time to study and watch the movie, although I wish she had kept the due date as Monday so that the slackers only on page twenty don't get rewarded. Oh well, that's high school for you.
So, today I worked for my dad as a "research assistant" helping him proof-read his paper for a journal. I worked for three hours and can now afford to go to VidCon! It's been pretty laid-back; just watching Fullmetal and hoping I can see Alice in Wonderland tomorrow with Aley.
So, since Derek's Spring Break is next week, we all assumed that he would come home this weekend. However, he never answered any of my parents e-mails. So, my mom had to call the college and they sent a person to his dorm to tell him to e-mail his parents. And after all that, he only sent a really terse message saying that he's going to stay at school. But, the dining halls aren't even going to be open during the break! So, how is he going to eat for the whole week of break that the dining halls aren't open? He doesn't have any money. And why doesn't he ever answer our messages? It's not that difficult! It's just rude and lazy and inconsiderate! I mean, my parents are really worried about him! Doesn't he care about us at all? It's not just that he's not coming home for the weekend; that's irrelevant. It's the way he treats us. It makes me wonder if I even really understand him.
