Times like these...
Well I had planned on writing a long tribute, a eulogy type thing but, I just can't at the moment. My cat, Gizmo (more commonly known as Little) was put to sleep last night. She had tongue cancer and the vet said that it probably started about a year ago. The whole thing just happened so fast to me though. She had been acting a little funny for a while but I was the only one who noticed. I got her when I was about 6 or 7 and out of all the cats in the litter, she was the only one to stray from her mother and immediately start rubbing up against my legs. She slept with me EVERY night I was at my dad's and would follow me all around the house. She could always tell when I was sick or upset. When I was at the vet Sunday, just finding out that something was wrong, I began crying and she started rubbing up against me and meowing loudly like she always does when I cry. This time it made me even more upset because it just seemed so crazy that there I was crying about her and knowing she might be dying and she had no idea, she just wanted to comfort me. I love that cat SO much. The vet had mentioned something about cremation and I was NOT gonna go for that. But it turns out my dad did get to bring her home and bury her in our yard. I just, I thought I'd get to see her again. I don't think I could have handled seeing her with a feeding tube though. They said she was still under the anesthesia from the biopsy so that made me feel a little better. I'm really going to miss her:( I'll never have a cat like that again. I wish I knew how to put pics up but anyway, she was a Scottish fold, absolutely beautiful and the most loyal cat I've ever had.

( I don't know when she was born :/)
I decided earlier this week that during my fist two years of college, I'm going to take the prerequisites for the nursing school also. I already have a lot of the credits I need for the psychology program so I'll have a lot of room for extra classes and I'm worried I won't be able to get a job in psych when I first get out of college. UNF turns out about 70 psych graduates a year I hear and there are maybe, 5 psych job openings each year in jax. Not great #s. I don't feel that money is the most important thing to me, but you do need it to survive. Anyway, uh, hopefully I'll be done with my room this week. I'm pretty excited about the outcome. It's also felt really good to get rid of so much stuff. The only thing that's really on my walls right now is a movie poster, Nirvana poster and a picture of Little. Thanks for reading, 'night all.
