Kiera Anderson's Moving Diary

Entry 1

8/14/16

About a week ago, my parents told me that we were going to be moving from where I currently live in Victor, New York, to a city in Wisconsin called Wausau. See, this wasn't as much of a long lasting upset as my last few moves because Wausau is where my dad grew and where my grandparents live.  But don't get me wrong, I was still really upset. So basically, the hospital where my dad works(ed) is falling apart and my dad didn't want to have to deal with that drama since he basically fires incapable people for a living. So, when my dad was offered a job at Wausau Hospital Espirus that paid him over 30%  increase of his original job, he gladly took it. When my dad worked at RGH, we never really got to see him, he was always working and would come home and nap instead of spend time with us because we were either already asleep or he'd gotten up a 4 and had been working all day.

So, the run down of things is, my dad is moving down to Wausau in 3 weeks because he starts work on the 19th. He's is going to be living with my grandparents, in their 3 story ginormous manor. My soon to be 13 year old brother is going over in 2 weeks because school also starts on the 1st there, instead of on like the 9th like it does here. My mother and I are staying to sell the house and help the movers. The house goes up on the market in October, but I made my mom promise that I would stay until Midterms were over. I also hope that it takes even longer, because the musical is in March, and I really want to go out of Victor with a bang. And then there is my older sister. Claire is going to be a senior this year, so instead of taking her out of school in the middle of the year, my parents are going to let her graduate. Meaning, we are either going to be getting her an apartment, or she is going to be living with her best friend Rachel and her family. I brought up the fact that I want to stay with Taylor and her family, but my mom brushed it and said we'd come to it when the time arrives for it to be a possibility.

Look, I love it in Victor. We've been here for about 5 and a half years now, and I absolutely love it here. Me, being an idealist, had the whole rest of my high school career planned out. I was so ready to be in Varsity Choir all the way up through high school and to do the next 4 possibly 5 shows that I am now going to be missing.

Sophomore year looks to be a fun year; I'm in Varsity choir, Psychology and Sociology. I'm the treasurer of the drama club. I'm hoping to be student advisor of the JH musical. Claire is going to drive me to and from school so YAY no bus. Being treasurer of the drama club means I get to say the announcements in the morning. Also, I'm taking all easy classes to hopefully lower the stress, seeing as already have plenty going on in my life.

Alright, that's enough self pity for one day. I'll try to update, it just definitely won't be every day.
