These past couple of weeks have been hard. I had to drop my Microbiology class because the instructor was teaching the class at a level that was far more advanced that I was ready for. There is another instructor I will be taking who seems to teach the class a bit simpler. I am less stressed out now, but it irks me to spend that much money & waste a semester. Oh well, it's just that I am so close to entering the program. Blah. Valentines always sucks when you don't have anyone to share it with. Not that I am complaining. I am glad to be out of the relationship I was in, but it would be nice to have someone to spend time with. I also really miss living by myself. There is no way I could afford that now or even in the near future & that sucks. I have also been thinking of my aunt A BUNCH, especially these past couple of days. Yesterday I went to my grandma's house & we were looking through her photo albums & I saw my aunt & I just started to bawl. Even now, I am starting to tear up. I think because I put off mourning until after school was out & then I was mourning the horrible way she died, that now I am mourning her. I miss her so much. It seems weird that she isn't here. Because of our relationship, I lost a mother. She & my uncle helped raise my brother & I when we were young & my parents were acting like douche-bags. I also think that my "Death & Dying" class is affecting me more than I thought it would. This week we were learning about hospice care, plus I just finished Kubler-Ross's "On Death & Dying". I wish I would've read it before she passed so I could've been more help to her psychologically. It's a great class, but it does hit home a bit sometimes. Oh, well, I better quit writing because I am at work & I don't want to start bawling...
