Situation Report
My Grandpa is still in the hospital in Houston, although he should be transferred to a rehab facility in Tyler on Monday.
Our family Spring Break ski trip that I did not want to go on was cut short when my uncle called to tell us that my Grandparent's house (which my currently incapacitated Grandpa built with his bare hands)had burned to the ground.
This blows hardcore.
What does this mean to me and those of you who are my friends?
Well, this is going to sound selfish, but I am thinking of how this will immediately affect ME:
Any free time that I would have otherwise had between 40+ hours a week of work and 12 hours of school (plus clinicals) will now be taken up with cleaning the site of the burned house and building their new house with our ohter family members.
Subsequently, I have no idea when my next visit to Houston will be. My parents and little brother will be there Fri. and Sat, but I will be staying behind because I have 2 tests on Mon. I guess your just asking for post-spring break exams when your classes are full of 30+year olds.
PS: Being in debt sucks. Had I not made some really dumb decisions, I could very reasonably be completely supporting myself in the place of my choosing right now. That's all I could think about on our protracted trip.
PPS: I hate anything remotely related to snow skiing, especially ski resort towns. Breckenridge and Vail are like the Abercrombie and LL Bean Christmas Cards come to life. I have never seen so many Douchebags wearing North Face gear in my life. Nothing beats seeing a girl wearing a midriff shirt and pink ostrich cowboy boots in 14 degree weather eat it on an ice patch.
PPPS: Who just goes snow skiing on spring break? I know it's fairly common, but WHY??? "Hey, it's finnaly nice outside. I know, I'll drive through the worst road conditions imaginable to an overcrowded town burried under 10 ft. of snow so that I can execute a controlled fall down the side of a mountain all while staving off hypothermia. That beats the hell out of relaxing on a beach/camping/tubing down a river/visiting a retirement home/getting a root canal/making prison love.
PPPPS: Kansas is nothing more than the world's biggest front yard.
