It's been a long time since I last updated... Nothing exciting has happened lately. Same ol', same ol'... It seems like only bad things keep happening to me lately. I can't seem to get rid of a cold that I've had for a couple months now. It will go away for a week and then come right back. Not just that, my Impetigo (Bacterial infection related to Staff) has come back!!! I took all of the prescription my doctor gave me for two weeks, three times a day. 2 weeks later, it has returned. I can't think of anything that I'm doing that could cause it to come back. It makes me so self-conscious because it shows up only on my face and it's gross! So now I have yet another doctor appointment to go to.

School has not been good lately. I managed to pull off a 3.875 which was awesome, but sucked at the same time because the only B that I got was a B+! So close to 4.0!!!! This semester hasn't been going to well. The weather is making me feel like it's summer so I don't want to do my homework. Such a horrible excuse, but that's just how I feel... I'm actually OK in most of my classes, but Anatomy because he's been giving us so much work and it takes me forever to do one assignment because I'm slow... So now I'm trying to catch up and he's still pyling more and more work on us... Band was sucky when we thought that we were going to be getting rid of Festive Overture, one of our songs that mostly everybody has worked so hard on, but now Mr. V has decided to keep it! So no band is good again. :)

Another bad thing going on in my life right now, that I've been struggling with a lot, is my Grandpa's cancer... I haven't really brought it up to any of my friends because I don't want to be a downer and I feel odd just bringing it up out of no where... Ryan's really the only one that I talk to about it, but otherwise I kind of bottle it up... Anyway, in December, my Grandpa was diagnosed with Liver and Stomach cancer and there was a tumor wrapped around his liver which was choking it. It is really bad because he had it for a long time, but didn't know because he refused to see a doctor about the pains he was having in his stomach. So it's really bad and unfortunately, he's dying from it... He's doing chemo, but it's not helping that much. It's just buying him a few more months to live. When I went to their house to visit him and my Grandma, he looked so bad. He's lost tons of weight and rarely eats. He can hardly move. You can hardly understand what he's saying, and to top it off, while I was there, he had a ceaser. He refuses to stay at a hospital because he wants to die at home so they are getting Hospice, that way they can have a nurse live with them to take care of him. It makes me really sad because he had been my only Grandpa growing up because my mom's dad died of cancer when she was 16... I also know someone who's parent has cancer... It's so sad. So many people are diagnosed with cancer and so many die from it. I hate it so much!

Anyway, I think I've blabbed long enough.

Till next time...
