Rough Times Ahead
Hey guys, its been 3 weeks since I've talked to you guys last....how are you? Are you feeling well?
I'm not feeling very well at all, things aren't going great. Since I last talked to you, mom was in the hospital and she's been in-and-out of the hospital 4 times already with low platelets and her blood count is constantly down causing her to return to the hospital every 3 days. She says she's getting better but each time her tumors on her body, she has them everywhere...begin to bleed out and she has to return to the hospital. It's a constant trip to the hospital downtown and returning her home, it's very hard to deal with. Furthermore, I'm having to do a lot of things on my own concerning my education, I have to do my FAFSA on my own (without her taxes and W-2, luckily, she's filing an extension for her taxes with the IRS). FAFSA is due on May 1st, which somewhat slipped my mind with mom in the hospital and me taking care of 5 courses. Finals are in the first week of May, and since finals are in may...I can't attend my graduation for Manor college, they're conflcting. I'm literally backed into a corner...with very minute options.
To make it worse, I have to register for courses and I'm decided to change my major from English to English/Communications. There's a slight problem, my advisor is very pushy and very inconsiderate for others. I had to cancel an appointment due to an emergency situation, I had to get my blood drawn for my mom and sent it to down to John Hopkin's Hospital/University. I did it though, and we'll get the results in 2 weeks. I sincerely hope I am the match. But back to the advisor, she's also a senor seminar person...meaning all the seniors do a large thesis before they graduate (like 20 pages) and she's suppossed bogged down with the seniors...graduation is in two weeks. She's trying not to deal with students who need classes for next semester. Futhermore, they're making everyone register for classes online but the program itself has been experiencing problems....
I have come to a realization, if this woman causes more trouble for me trying to register...I'm going to tell her my situation and why I need her to work with me a little bit. This cancer of my mom's has gotten extremely aggressive in the past two months, so I need to see what I can do. If she causes more issues, I'm going to consult with someone else...I have very little time to be dealing with this since there's a good chance that if I'm the match...I'll be away for 2 months in Maryland. Either way, I'm backed into a corner... I hope I make it through the deadlines...and perform well with my finals. Pray for me, will you?
