life is funny

I finished my summer class last night. There were three tests total and the final test we were able to use our notes and books. Incredible!

My little brother got into an argument with someone the other day. When I was talking to him about it to try and make him feel a little better, I asked him what was wrong with me to make him feel more comfortable talking about what he did wrong.
Here is what he said:

"You are full of yourself and you're a hypocrite." "You do things to others that you would not want done to you." -he was referring to the times when I throw things and they accidentally hit him in the face.

Naturally, this made me think. I do bring myself up in a lot of conversations. It is not that I am consciously doing it, it just happens, so to break this habit, I am going to have to consciously think about it for a while until it becomes subconscious. Then I can work on the hypocrite thing because that is a much more difficult thing to deal with. Of course, maybe that will just come with everything else. If I start thinking a little more before I act then maybe I wouldn't do some of the things I do. Anyway...

I must say that I am a very fortunate person to have the family that I do. We are getting ready to go on a vacation/family reunion and it is going to be crazy! I have been going through a lot of crazy things in the last few weeks and to experience some of that with my family around me will be very interesting. The really cool thing is that all of my brothers, their wives and my brother Ben's baby will all be able to go! It's like Christmas in the summer...haha
