The week before last, I spent half-dead from a killer virus that has had a lot of people in the hospital in my area. I missed a lot of classes, quizzes, homework, review, etc, and am now scrambling to make these things up and do extra credit for those things that can not be made up. This week, my grandmother's in the hospital- she's died twice but came back and is on deathwatch right now. If she dies, my aunt will be out on the street. She is an asthmatic, so if she has to stay with us, our 10 cats have to go. She's also evil. A cat got hit in the road in front of my house, which I thought was mine and spent all morning on Friday crying about, missing two of my classes, only to find it wasn't my cat at all. One of my friends was in a car accident, which scared the fuck out of me, but at least she's okay. My keys, school ID, and jump drive have all disappeared (keys need to be turned in to the college at the end of the semester or I'm charged $50 that I don't have, ID is necessary to pick up my workstudy paychecks, jump drive has projects, resumes, photos, poems and stories on it), which makes no sense, since I needed my keys to get into the commuter's lounge all day at school, and I ALWAYS keep them in the same place in my bag, which was NOT unzipped, so there is NO WAY they could have fallen out. My financial aid is being taxed, all of a sudden, after 2 and a half years at this godforsaken school (which has been ruined by their driving up tuition and fees, crowding this once small private college, all to renovate their stupid alumni building), so now I have to pay over $1000 in back taxes for not paying previous years, even though we were never made to pay tax on it before. I know I have a lot to be thankful for, and I sound like a whiny little bitch, but to tell you the truth, I've become a little shell-shocked by the past few weeks. What's next? Am I going to fail all of my midterms next week? Is my grandmother really going to die? Is one of my cats really going to die? I someone ELSE going to die? Are my keys and stuff never going to resurface, forcing me to pay a $50 fine for the keys, replace the ID and jump drive and never see my important papers or my precious pictures or compositions ever again? Am I not going to be able to scrape together the cash between my family and I, especially if my grandmother dies, to pay my tax back to the school, thus forcing me to drop out? I'm just waiting. Come on, what's next? Something is picking on me... and I'm jonesin' to kick its ass from here to Comabodia... Come out you little bastard and fight me like a man! Okay, okay, focus on the good... focus on the good... ummm... no one's dead? *le sigh*
:stunned: I am so confused... Everything just righted itself, like, the day after I posted that... Well, whoever you are, thanks for laying off. Thanks for getting my gram out of the hospital, thanks for giving me back my keys, ID and jump drive, thanks for not killing anyone, and thanks for caring people who helped my mom rearrange her taxes so she could help me pay off mine and still have over $1000 left over. But if you ever do that to me again, I swear to God, I will hunt you down... Thanks, Barabajagal, but as you can see, Fate and I are cool now.
