I constantly compose journal entries in my head but when I sit down at the computer, I can't make myself type. Strange. I am still reading everyone's journals, though!
I have watched/read way too much hurricane stuff today. I do this. I literally push myself into a mild depression when something terrible is going on in the world. I have no family/friends affected by the hurricane but it still breaks my heart. And I admit, when I was watching the news and could hear the barks of trapped dogs, I broke down. Anyway... enough about that.
I also found out today that my friend's father recently passed away from cancer. He was only diagnosed 3 weeks ago. I am glad that he did not suffer long but feel so terrible for my friend and wish he had been able to beat the disease instead. It was almost a year ago that my mom was diagnosed and while she is now cancer-free, I worry about her a lot. Also, my grandfather has bone cancer and will probably die this fall. I'm going to fly down and see him next week.
This is a morbid entry.
On happier news, the house is fun and my job is going great. I feel like I suck at my job but I'm "moving up" quickly. We are having a housewarming party next weekend, looking forward to that. My job has helped me make a lot of girlfriends in this town, finally. I'm generally having a lot of fun.
Okay, now I'm going to go do some studying. I NEED to finish my damn degree.
