Summer Classes are no fun!
Wow, so I've decided that taking summer classes was a bad idea. A full semester crammed into 7 weeks is not good, especially when you end up missing an entire week of classes.
I had work training in Indiana last weekend (Memorial Day), so I was gone from Friday-Sunday night. Well, I got home on Sunday night to find out that my grandpa wasn't doing very well. I had to come back to Kzoo since I had to work on Tuesday, & I really didn't have clothes to stay any longer. Well, I got back here around 7:45-8ish on Monday night, only to get a call around midnight that my grandpa has passed away. Not exactly the news that I wanted to hear only 4 hours or so after I got back here. I mean, he was 88 years old, and he had lived a good, long life. We all knew that this truly was the best for him. So, I hardly got any sleep at all on Monday night, & then had to go to work in the morning. I spent all day Tuesday getting stuff taken care of so I could leave again, & then left Kzoo around 5:30 on Tuesday.
Well, I ended up staying home until this past Sunday. We had the wake on Wednesday, and then the funeral on Thursday (which ironically happened to be what would've been my grandparents 66th wedding anniversary), family stuff on Friday, and then I went to a wedding with Steve on Saturday & hung out with him all day. I think the hardest thing for me is knowing that I no longer have any grandparents left. He was my last one, so it's like there's the "grandparent void" in my life. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Luckily, I have a very supportive boyfriend, who was there for me through everything. I mean, who would drive 3 hours to a funeral home & stay there all day, if they really didn't have to?? Him...just to be there for me! I'm so lucky to have him in my life.
So, this is why I ended up missing an entire week of classes. I feel like I'm so behind, even though both of my professors have assured me that I'm not, but I feel like I am. I missed a midterm, which luckily I get to take on Friday, and some project that was due on Monday, that I'm turning in tomorrow. My stress level right now...not exactly the lowest. I just hope that I can get everything done & turned in on time. I have a really big project due next week that I've barely started, but at least I know what I'm doing for it. Just wish me luck that I make it thru the rest of these summer classes!
