I already want this year to be over

[writer_chick84]

Yesterday I wrote about the passing of the teacher that made me realize I wanted to be a writer.  What a horrible way to start out the new year, right?  Today my family got hit with something else.  My mom wasn't feeling too well, so she went to the doctor's office and while she was there a lady that goes to our church walked in.  As she was talking to my mom, she told her that Sharon Schulenberg had died last night.  Sharon was one of my mom's only friend at St. Luke's, and she had been a friend of the family since before I was born.  She was such a sweet woman.  Everytime I came home and went to the library, she was working at the reference desk and she always asked me how I was.  I wasn't close to her, but when I started thinking about how her passing would affect my mom, I cried.  I cried and I held my mom as she cried.  Then I stopped crying because my mom started worrying about me.  I don't want her worrying if I'm going to be okay.
I just want to go back to school so I can get away from all this.  I hate this year.
