bitter sweet
So I know I haven't been updating at all. I have to say I am quite busy this start of the new quarter. Because I am crazy, I have decided to take a rigorous course load and I have been bombarded with work once again but this time I am trying REALLY hard to stay on top of the game. I am putting my game face on. BOOM, IT'S ON! haha. But I AM GOING to buckle down and pretty much eat, sleep, and study. That will pretty much be my life till after I graduate.
Well, in addition to my crazy courses, I have been trying to get more involved with school. So this is the second week, and clubs are starting to meet. Tuesday there is an EC (entertainment council) volunteer meeting as well as my AMSA (American Medical Student Association) interview for leadership. Wednesday I have photography club (supporting my roomie, Brittany!) and DSAC (Dean's Student Advisory Committee).
On top of that, you know I have my social life. I dont' know, I am like addicted to people. Or maybe I just REALLY don't want to study. haha. I need to get out, I can't stand being trapped all the time. So today, where I was going to glue myself to my desk, Phi and I took Jen out to lunch, to Pita Pit! yUM! We then decided to look through the thrift store, and I bought some cups since I like to drop and break mine. Then Jen, who was working in the back, texted to come outside. Phi and I rush outside to see a COUCH, a missing component to our very empty living room. It was pretty dirty but it was a steal at $5! So we purchased it but there came the BIG problem, how the hell were we going to transport a 6'3" long couch with a Honda Accord for a mile?! No one really owns a truck and so we were pretty screwed. We tried to put the coach on wheels and Phi and I were going to push it for a mile back to our apartment, but the legs on the coach were sOoo long that they hit the floor. Well eventually, we just decided to chuck the couch up on the top of Phi's poor little Accord. We strapped it down, YEA for my Girl Scout skills and knot tying! haha. We then VERY SLOWLY drove back to our apartment. Dude, I was driving like anywhere from 15-35 miles per hour, so it wasn't too bad. But we definitely got a lot of peculiar looks, with the WTF? face. Phi and I arrive back to our apartment to face our next dilemma, how the hell are we going to get the coach up the stairs to our living room? Well Phi and I were attempting to lug the coach up the stairs, but I guess we looked so pitiful this guy came over to help us carry it. So NOW it is FINALLY in our living room, and we Lysol-ed and vacuumed it. The adventures of the girls living in our apartment! haha.
Well now on to the bitter sweet stuff, my mom called this morning to deliver some horrific news, my lovely grandma Naomi passed away this morning. Grandma was 71? I think she was going to turn 72 this month. It was a pretty shock to everyone. I know grandma wasn't feeling too well, and she looked pretty sick when I visited her in December. My grandma is very petite, but when I saw her during break, she was sickly skinny, and you could see the outline of her bones. You could also see my grandma was in a lot of pain, she wasn't able to walk very far or do any physical activities. But my grandma is still my grandma, and she is beautiful just the way she is. Grandma and I watched some Japanese soap operas (and I had no idea what was going on)but I enjoyed just being with her. We were laughing about the time she was trying to teach me Japanese and how bad I was butchering it. She told me how she remembered raising me when I was just a lil tot. It is just very difficult for me to realize that such a wonderful person had to leave this world. She had a beautiful soul, always caring and gracious. She was a beautiful independent woman with a youthful heart. I know she is gone of this world but I know she is up above, chilling with Jesus. Even though I miss her dearly, I know she isn't in pain anymore. She is re-joying with my Father and my dear Jesus. My day will come, but until then, all I have are the wonderful memories of me and my grandma. Grandma Naomi Seskin, you will be forever loved and greatly missed. <3
