dealing w. life's obstacles =/
I was almost ready to go back to school for what I knew what would be an amazing semester. And now here I am a week later & everything has changed. I know many of you already know, but for those of you who don't, I found out I had two of my fibroma's (what tumors are called in the disease I have) that are in my spinal cord, grow. Thus, I need to undergo two major operations, one to get these growths out & another to fix the curve that has formed in my upper-back/neck from the previous operation. This resuting in me basically not being able to take any classroom classes in the fall- putting me a year behind w. my major.
At first the whole thing crushed me. I know most people don't like school, but I love it, I was so excited to finally start classes that pretain to my major. I was also beyond excited to be Prez of my frat. But I realize it's pointless to feel sorry for myself, that I have to accept what happens, & look for the positives in the situation. For one thing my neck will be fixed, so finally it will look normal & it won't bother my back anymore. Also, I will be here to go to Cali w. my fam in the fall & other events that I would partly or totally miss. Don't get me wrong, I still feel like crying a lot, knowing how much I will miss school-my bf-and friends, but I'll live.
I'm going down to FL with my Mom before my operations (Aug. 9th thru the 15th) so if any or all of you USFers would like to maybe go out to dinner or something one night, I would enjoy it very much so.
Also, what online classes has everyone taking? I've fulfilled all but one Gorden Rule req... so I'm just looking for any online classes that won't be too stressful as I'm busy recovering, & can keep me some what entertained. Any suggestions would be great. thx.
Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying the heat.. it's like 100* here in CT & it sucks.
