Things I did not want to spend today doing:
1. Receiving feedback on an assignment I felt was ridiculously impossible and ending up feeling stupendously dumb
2. Going to a funeral
3. Going to prayers
Things I do not want to spend tomorrow doing:
1. Going to prayers.
It's been six months since I was last subjected to my absolute fear of death, and people in coffins. Last night a close family friend died after almost five years of struggling with brain cancer. He was a really fantastic man who I didn't know too well, but I know his kids very well, and I know how close a family they were. My parents were very close with him, and his wife, and spent the last two weeks going to the hospital every day to visit him, and struggling not to be devastated by his horrendous decline. I can't even imagine how horrible it must be to wake up and be unable to move, unable to think, and to not know what is going on at all.
Uuuurgh.
