Barbados in six months
Today has definitely not been one of my better days here at UIndy. Yesterday was...so perfect. And then today came, and I feel like my heart has been ripped in half. Not a positive feeling.
Tuesday, I had my Chem exam...it went...okay. It took me longer than usual, but I thought I had things done correctly for the most part. I had ISG, and it went better than usual. Less drama than other times. Music was fairly boring, and then I went to Eric's Jazz concert with Susan. Then I went to RHA, and then I came back here. I don't remember much else...
Wednesday. I think that was the day that I went to Peter and Eric's room and Greg picked me up and tried to carry me out of the room to save me from the mean boys. Hehe. I just went back in for more, lol. I had my 5 classes that day...and I actually went to Psych. Oh yeah! And I had registration. That didn't go so well. Right now I'm only signed up for 15 hours for next semester. I hate being a freshman, and technically I am a sophomore at the end of this semester anyway, dangit. I already have 29 hours. Oh well. I got moved from my 10:00 Bio class to the 8:00 am section, so I'll be at Bio at 8:00 in the morning just like this semester, 4 days a week. Blech. And I am 2nd on the waiting list for my Psychology class. I may go and see Dr. Bell about that one. I want to have the 18 hours so that I can be on schedule for OT. Plus, I'll be really bored with 15 hours...definitely.
Thursday...that was yesterday. All that really matters is what happpened after 8:00. Jeannie and I went to a meeting about taking a Spring Term Course to Barbados in May. And we fell in love with the program and all of the stuff that we would get to do for two weeks. So we came back to 406, called our parents, and we got permission to go to Barbados. Then Kristen came back, we told her, and now the three of us are going to Barbados for 2 weeks straight this summer! Yeah, it's going to be absolutely amazing. We get to stay in this suite together, and we are done doing stuff for the class every day by 4:45. So we have the nights to do what we want in Barbados. Yeah, talk about awesome. Plus, we have several free days. We made our first payments this morning. $250. Good times.
Then today showed up and reared its ugly head in the form of my mother calling me at 9:30 in the morning. She called me and told me she would be here to pick me up at 3:00, and then she said she had some bad news. My Aunt Anita died last night. She had heart surgery on Tuesday, and then she started falling apart on Wednesday, and they gave her a 10% chance to live. And she died last night. I absolutely adored my Aunt Anita. I haven't seen her in 4 years, and I passed up the opporutnity to find her over Fall Break because she was here in G-field. And that breaks my heart that I didn't take the chance to go and see her, because I know she loved me just as much as I loved her. So it sucks really bad. I just feel like my heart is breaking today. I went down to get a hug from any of the guys in 413, and Peter gave me one, and I just started crying. I hate it. I didn't mean to cry, but like we agreed, our tear ducts have ADD. They hear us say, "Don't cry" and then they forget.
So then I went to Chemistry, and I didn't do so well on that exam as I had hoped. So now I have to do really well on that next one so that this test score can get dropped. Rubbish. Then I started getting really sick. My sinuses are acting up, I can feel it in my head. And my stomach is cramping up. So I'm miserable today. It sucks horrendously.
Plus, I am going home tonight. And while I'm glad to go home and see my parents and my sister, and I want to see her in the musical...I don't want to see everyone else that will come with the musical. A lot of my class will probably go back, and I really have no desire to see...any of them. Oh well.
Love Always,
Alison
