Busyness!

Oh my! I have been soooooooo busy! I had two essay's due last week, one in art and one in english. I haven't gotten my art one back yet but I did get my english one. A B-! Woot! And to quote my professor, "No accompanying stoy but otherwise an outstanding first." -squee-

Now I have another english essay due on Wed. on Edgar Allen Poe. Fun times! I love Poe!

Ok... so what is happening otherwise? Hmm... I have a cold but it's not that bad. I just gave myself a headache from blowing my nose so much. I came home this weekend for my dad's b-day. He hit the big 5-0!

My mom is scheduled for surgery on March 3rd, and I am torn. My spring break happens just a weekend or two after. According to mom's doctor it's just an overnight thing. She won't be able to talk for awhile, she can't drive for a month but can ride after a few days. It'll be two-four months before she can go back to work. At my college there are no excused absences but if I talk to the Student services head she can get me "excused". Mom told me she doesn't want me to skip class... so what do I do? I would feel awful if I didn't come home and something happening to her even though we don't get along that well. But if I came home I probably wouldn't get anything in the ways of school work done.

All my friend's are pissed at my mom. They were just starting to like her and then she went and said, "I think you should consider having the lap-band surgery." Now for those of you who don't know the lap-band is like a rubber band they put around your stomach to keep you from eating so much. Mom said it's not because I'm fat but because I am borderline diabetic. I told her I would look into it and think about it.

Okay... I think that is all. Tomorrow we're having my dad's b-day party and then it's back to Cumberland for me! And in case you want to read it here's my english essay, "Numb Image".
