tis been a bit since my last post. and i think really i only post here because i dont think anyone reads it. so if you still do, well then i guess you may know a little more about my life than even those that i speak to on a regular basis.
taking chem 305 this summer semester has been biting me in the ass. whole heartedly. now i figured i would have to put in a good amount of effort being that its only an 8 wk course and chem has a ton of math, which i suck at. i was also hoping that my professor would be a bit lenient, even considering most of the students are not doing so well. but she just doesnt budge really. she has a thick iranian accent, worked hard to get where she is today and i guess figures we all need to do the same. students are getting poor grades myself included. im sure come tomorrow i will find that at least 3-5 students have dropped. last day to drop was friday. i havent really put forth the effort i figured i should, so i know im prolly not going to get that "C" that i need to pass, but heck ill stick with it. and ill prolly get a "D" and ill prolly have to take it again in the upcoming semesters.
i was told that the bio A&P im signed up for next semester checks your pre-reqs so im kinda screwed on hoping i could take that class and slip by without them checking, then take chem in the spring. doesn't look like thats going to work. so ho hum. do i try really hard to get into a chem class over fall which im more than sure are all filled up and overfilled on teh waiting list? or just take a simple and fun class over the fall? like photography or sewing or some shit. somethings nudging me towards the latter. i guess ill come to which falls my way.
BELIZE!!!! is coming up. Im super excited. Kev and I, Katie and Terry, Nick and a few others are heading to BElize for a week ish vacation. We have a house rented. Have plans to go cave-tubing and zip lining through the jungle? ok maybe not the jungle, but im juiced. i havent been zip lining before, and i havent been on a vacation with katie yet before. So i guess i got two really good things to look forward too.
in family news, my lil bro and his wife split up a few weeks ago. maybe even a month or so now. its kinda sad. ida hoped they'd make it til the end. It was a suprising blow, but i think they both acted very responsible with it, and realized that "hey, this isnt working out anymore" and decided to call it quits. pretty sure they got the divorce papers signed within two weeks, cabe got an apartment in town by himself, they are so-far working out a good sharing the kids plan. carter stays with cabe for a week and breezy for a week. i hope it continues to work out ok for them like that and they dont have to go down the icky custody-battle road. i wish i was around them to hang out with the kids more. aw i miss fargo dearly when it comes to my family.
i guess my uncle tim was deployed back to iraq not so long ago. i havent heard word it everything is going well, but my hopes that i havent heard anything means good news. my step-uncle sonny is scheduled for an LVAD implant soon. poor guy. he's had some heart issues over the last few years, been in and out of hospital and all that. Im sure my aunt is tired with worry and care. sounds like they are going to the city to get the implant, one that will help with breathing and running his heart right. it has to be charged every 3-4 hours though!!! that just seems hella whack to me. having to charge up your heart implant every 3-4 hours or you die? i thought technology was so much more advanced.
sounds like he gets put on the heart transplant list within six months. how scary is that? i can't imagine. both uncles are in my prayers. as well as my cousin lucas. lucas was born a twin and his brother struggled through life for a good 3-6 years and passed as his brain didnt continue to grow and he had mutliple complications. And now lucas has been sicky and in and out of the hospital too. he's a real frail yet bright child. Sounds like he's doing well now, but again you can only hope for living a good life in the future.
random updates: sounds like shelby and her man split. i asked where i should send her bday card and she gave me a timeframe and 2 addresses. sounds like shes moving out on her own soonish. and eddie and dana had another baby recently. Zander. unfortunately they got news that he has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. ICK, thats super sad. as far as i know, kids with this have a lot of complications, need a lot of care, and sometimes don't live a full life. i hope they strive through his life with a lot of love and optimism.
on another note: i wonder sometimes where i would be if i had stayed in fargo. shit would i be married and having babies already. something makes me think not. would i be living in the city somewhere by now? perhaps. would i be enjoying my weekends at the lakes with friends and family? for DAMN SURE!! i hella miss the lakes man. there sure arent very many around here and the few that are, are hecka crowded. And its not like staying at someones CABIN on the lake, with property that surrounds it. for me its more like finding and area that we can set up camp on the water and then when we are done for the day leave or head back up to camp. I sure miss lake 7, turtle lake, big commorant, and tamarac lakes. I hope to someday own a lake property in MN that my family takes care of and i can come with my family and vacation over the summer months. how dope would that be? goals!!
that makes me think of where i am in life at this moment. slowly getting through my first 1/3rd of school. living with and loving the man i hope to make the rest of my life with. working a 9-5 office work that i could really get paid more, somewhere else, but need to put in enough time to get a good reference. im almost 30, thought when i was a kid that id for sure have babies by now. but that even now seems so far off from point. i guess im good as long as im fairly happy, and that i am.
mini updaters:
kev got stiches in his shin, after a rock from a creek took a bite out of his leg, while camping in union valley resivior.
