I'm at school for my last semester. Kinda Scary. Now I have to spend the next 16 weeks looking for a job. EEEEK!!!

I'm such a bad child. The whole summer and I only manage to post once. Shame on me. But the summer was pretty boring. All I did was work and get really frustrated. I think that being management  sucks. Everybody whines to you and then you have to be mean to get them to actually do what they're suppose to. Arrrrgh.

So school started today. I've got 3 brand new roommates and they seem nice.  I've got to run for my class this semester though. I've got three right in a row all on opposite sides of campus. I was late to two of them. But the good thing was no homework today. ^_^

I'm not dead. Not yet anyway.

Schools out. I've been working like crazy since the beginning of may. No time for anything really but yesterday I go to answer a text and the screen is all messed up. I'd used the phone earlier and it was fine. Now it was all of a sudden broken. It was so frustrating.  I can't see any of my numbers and I don't have a hard copy of phone numbers. I am getting a new phone asap and I can still call people but its frustrating.

I dont' normally get sick and if I do it's during a break, like christmas or spring break. Not this time.

I am so sick right now. I totally lost my voice today. Plus this week has been so busy with projects due, and I want to go home but don't know if I really should. It's frustrating.  I've been getting some writing done but not enough. must do more.

There are only three days left until Christmas. I am so excited. I just have to make mice, get the christmas letter copied, folded and stuffed, the letters sent out, packaged mailed to Amanda, clean room,  papers twice, dialysis runs twice and deliveries on Christmas eve.
 
My brother is the biggest grinch.

But I'm happy. 

I don't usually do these but this looked wicked fun. ;)

I feel absolutely yucky. 

I got lots of sleep and yet I'm really tired.  I look horrible and I've had several different people ask me how I was feeling cause I look that sick.  There aren't any physical symptoms except tiredness.  I just hope I'm not getting sick.

*crosses fingers*

It's not even halfway through october and it snowed last night. probably less than an inch but still SNOW....in early october.  I'm going crazy.

So my dad's back in the hospital again.  He has been out for two weeks and getting better.  On friday he fell on the brick fireplace and hit his head.  He was all brusied around his jaw and complaining of a loose tooth, so it hurt to eat.  Also he scrapped his hand and because they have him on blood thinners it kept bleeding slugglishly.  Anyway my mom took him to the dentist on Monday to get his tooth looked at, turns out his jaw his broken.


So he is back in the hospital and just when things looked like they were starting to get better.

My Dad is geting out of the hosptial. *crosses fingers* Hopefully. They say sunday and I think it will go through.  

I am back at school so I should be around a little more frequently. 

My dad is finally back home.... kind of.  He is in a hospital in Salt Lake instead of half way across the world. He also looks better.  I picked him up from the airport and he could barely make it from the wheelchair to the seat in the car. I then saw him the next day and he looked so much better.  So he is getting better.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things are looking up a bit.  My dad is still in the hospital in florida.  However he has been moved to a rehabilitaion hospital and has been getting better.  He has gotten over most of the infections, he is just really super weak from being on his back for the past two months.

My mom is home for about a week and a half.  It's nice to let her be responsible for my little sister, plus I missed her.  

I really really hope that my dad can come home before school starts... 

 These past three weeks have been HELL.

My family and I went to WDW in Florida from the 1st of June to the 6th. On the 5th my dad wasn't feeling well.  He has a transplanted kidney and has his immune system surppress majorly.  So him getting sick is a bad thing. He stayed in the hotel on Thursday instead of coming to the park. We got back about 5 to take a little rest and my dad was almost comatose.  He looked like a corpse and he wasn't responding to anything.  They ended up taking him to the hospital and admitting him for dehydration and pneumonia. 

My siblings and I flew home on friday,  expecting our parents to be returning home in a few days.  

My parents are still in florida. 

My dad wasn't getting better.  Turns out his right lung collapsed and was completely filled with infection.  They operated on it on the 14th because they couldn't get it to drain.  Then he was having seizures.  Last saturday they did a spinal tap, turns out he has an infection in his back and it was meningitis. THey won't even think of letting him fly home until he has been out of the ICU and is stable.  He is still in the ICU.

I am old enough to take care of myself and my brother is almost 19 and my sister is 13.  So we can take care of ourselves, but I am really really ready to stop being the one absolutely responsible for everything.

My family is going to florida, to disneyworld for six days.  We leave on Sunday and I am SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I don't think about it I might make it through the next two days without soptaniously combusting. Wish me luck.

Today has been...interesting. I had my last final and paper today.  I think they both went well.  I have been packing to go home and my room is almost all put away.

It snowed this morning.  At least an inch and the sky has been wetting on and off all day. 

And I just found out that one of my friends is pregeant. She's not married and her boyfriend is a huge jerk. So today's been a little nuts.

I HATE Finals!!
YUCK
I am ready to be done with school for a little bit.  I could just go crazy.  Its only wedensday and it feels like friday.  There is so much that is due within the next week and I'm going nuts.
