oh the joys of life
Basically, I have been dumped the oh so wonderful position of telling my extended family (aunts, uncles, grandparents) of mom's situation because none of them are on talking terms w/ my parents. Thats what I get for being the responsible one in the family.*sigh. I feel horrible for the way I feel about it...but I just don't know any other way to feel. I rattle off the information I do know.. and when they ask me how I feel, I simply state that I feel like she has done it to herself because of all the bad habits she has been doing. (Its hard for me to have sympathy for her....long story)You don't mix heavy pain meds, alcohol and smoking all together. sheesh... I'm scared to think of how messed up she is going to be from chemo. I should have never answered the damn phone. I thought it was my sister calling me... Know I know why she sounded so desprate to get ahold of me.
Uncle Kent is back home... Thank god everything went well. They caught it before it would have turned into peritinitious if his appedix had ruptured... my step grandfather died of that when I was 1 after complications from surgery.
School...BLAH. I feel good about my econ test, but it makes me nervous when the professor hasn't posted the answers to the test... I have another test thursday, and two monday. I really need to get crackin on my history papers. Thankfully I have started to research my paper on the Ostend Manifesto. Its really interesting... the Pierce Administration was stating they wanted to obtain Cuba from Spain, and if Spain wouldn't consent, it would provide justification for the US to take it by force. Gotta luv us Americans... We take what we want...*sigh. What a nice thing of our past isn't it? well, it caused a HUGE uproar in the north because abolitionists felt that the south would try to bring Cuba in as a slave state to increase the slave population and shareholders. Needless to say its going to be a really interesting topic to write a paper on, especially w/ everyone's opinions on the matter. :o) and I was scared about a 15 page paper. CIS200 is either going to bore me to death, or do me in... Soc, I love, but I have a test this week, so we will see. Sex in society...I like the class, but its killing me being an online class. you actually spend more time on those than you do your other classes...because they are on the back burner until you realize your behind...*sigh. The semester is going to get crazier....so the pledges need to aproach me ASAP!! its irritating when I sit there and give one interview.....or sit there and no one even looks my direction.
Work...meh. we will see what happpens after I meet with Scott Later this week to discuss my new position in the company. I really am scared I am going to lose some hours. Even though everyone is telling me not to worry about it... I really don't want to have to get a second job this semester... Maybe I won't have to, even if they do drop my hours. All my credit cards are paid off...I just have to worry about rent, car insurance (which is more than my rent), cell phone, and land line when qwest pulls their head out of their ass.
I think I am going to get a life insurance policy and put my sister as a beneficiary. I realize that I will probably live a long time from now... But its a good investment to have, and the younger I purchase one, the cheaper it will be at a fixed rate, and the cash value will be really nice when I am older. Besides, if something were to happen to me, if I have it set up as a trust fund for my sister to use for specific things, she would be given a chance to improve herself, and get an education, I just have to set it up right so my parents can't touch the money if they live long enough. Down the road I can always change it. I think I am going to get one through Debbie... Gene could do it for me, but Debbie would benefit more from it.
Ok...enough procrastinating on hw.
