april update!
wow. junior year is almost over. i can't believe i only have 1 more year to go. so much has happened lately that i've been too lazy to write about.
first there was jessica passing away, leaving us all in shock and numbness. we were all devastated that we weren't told about the funeral (which took place the sunday of spring break) cuz we really wanted to go pay our respects. i had never known anyone that died before... visiting her in the hospital was the first time I had gone to one outside of volunteering in them. i was so sad and numb for so long, and i'm finally at the point where i can talk about it w.o breaking down. she was a great friend.
then there was my aunt going to (and she is still in) the ICU (she's here from China visiting my cousin and her family in LA) for some crazy lung infection...apparently her throat is currently got a giant hole in it and she needs breathing tubes and whatnot to live...
then, there was my life crisis with the whole accounting vs. finance and CPA/150 hrs vs graduating a semester early and what the hell i want to be in life. there's been housing issues with liz deciding to move out (and some shady reasons that she cited), negotiating rent with victor (which went really well), the whole liz/steve/breakup/tim/journal/crazy drama, figuring out what to do with my room for the summer, scheduling for next year...
then the whole car thing for the summer, which my parents finally came through and bought me a new (used) car (and "bought me" is technically wrong since they're using my college money and making me take out more loans): its a 2000 Toyota Corolla! I'll have a car next yr and i'm so pumped. i also won't have to drive around my piece of crap car during motorola this summer. Having my 21st in chicago will be kinda weird cuz i wont get to celebrate with family or friends :(...but Goms and Vy decided to come visit me in Chicago during memorial day (weekend after my 21st) so I'm really excited about that. also stef and megan rolfes will be there for parts of the summer. and jeannette'll be there starting august for her job. so it won't be too lonely. i still will miss home though. i have grown to love my fam. its corny i know, but i really want to hang out w. james more. i will be so sad the day he decides he's too cool to be hanging with his older sis.
now i'm stressed out with finals and cases and everything coming to a close this semester (not to mention battling allergies). just trying to take it one day at a time.
jake's 21st is this friday. my mom's 50th is on the same day. talk about milestones.
happy birthday mum and jake!!
