I decided not to go to school today because I realized that if I was to go to school, I would have been such an unproductive person due to my lack of ability to concentrate in my classes. I'm trying my hardest not to think about tomorrow and so far it's working. I have a few things that are keeping my mind busy from thinking about tomorrow. I have to get up early because if we want to see him before the surgery we have to be there by 6am and its an hour drive so I need to be up at 4:30. weee.. Great fun. I tell myself everything is going to be alright because he has fought though so much, why should this be any different than any other day? I just need to take today slowly and remember to breathe... It's a 5 hour surgery so that's going to be interesting.... sitting in the hospital waiting room for 5 hours.. at least I get to work on my AP Stats stuff then.. If I could concentrate. I think my mom wants to leave and come back but I refuse to leave. What if something was to happen during the surgery and they had to call us when we were going home or at home... we would be freaking out and driving back up there would be hell and dangerous. I rather not take the risk of that happening.. plus I want to stand by my daddy 120% and show him that I care about him so much... i don't want to leave his side.. He deserves so much. So does my mom. They both are such great people and life really has dealt them a shitty life but yet they keep moving along. I wish I could give them the world. This is why I do what I can in school, to give them hope that there is happiness out there in this world... that's why I stayed in school for the last semester of school.. thats why I'm doing cap-and-gown... thats why I am going off to college... I mean, I want these things too, but I am also doing it for them.. They are wonderful parents and I don't think I show them enough appriciation. Man. I'm a bad daughter. >< I should be a better one. Yes. I love them. I really am going to have a hard time leaving them once college rolls around this fall... I mean, I want to go to CMU but part of me wants to stay closer to home than going to CMU... but I'm not sure of what I want to do.. my heart keeps going back and forth between which college I want to go to... if I get accepted at Northern, maybe I'll go there.. CMU offered me a great scholarship but it isn't enough to keep me in college without great about of debt. Yeah, debt... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike and I had a real deep conversation last night about each others lives and about things that have happened to us. We realized that we have more in common than we thought, which only makes everything that much more marrier. I was thinking today, and I came to the conclution I don't want anything to change. I love where we stand right now.. I think we got out what we really felt about each other last night and if he or I were to say any more of that today I just don't feel right because it will feel kind of fake. He is a great guy but I want to make sure I'm making the right move, if there is a move to make. We are to go bowling next weekend after the play rehursal.. which I'm looking foward to. Hopefully I'll have money by then.. I should because we get paid on Friday, if I'm not mistaken... if not I'll have to borrow money from my mom till I get paid which would only be the following Friday. All I know is that I want to give him a big hug for being such a great friend. Like I told him last night, he couldn't have came at a more perfect time. He's just that extra something I need to push my spirits in the up direction while the tough times are coming up. I have my friends, and I don't doubt them at all, but I don't feel comfortable talking to most of them about issues but when I talk to Mike, it's like, it's different. I'm not going to let anything come of our talking. Not yet. I'm going to take things step-by-step and just let things fold instead of trying to move things faster. Like I said, I like how things are right now... .. he made me cry last night.. but in a good way. Damn college. Part of me thinks if I get accepted that I should go to Northern because he is there but that is such a stupid reason to go to a school and base your decision off of.. I originally wanted to go to CMU so I should stick with that gut feeling, but theres that other side of you who wants to stay here in Illinois because you want to be close to your family. Nothings offical. Things can change. I just don't think UIC is the right college for me, though. ISU might be a good college to go to.. Sammie is going there, which is nice... But should I go some where I know I'll have fun or go somewhere there will be a challange of having to get to know people? ISU does sound like a good college to go to and I did like the campus when we were there last year for Theatrefest... I'm not sure. Let me see if I get accepted to Northern and then see all the cards I have on my table to choose from. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Black in white photo Hand in Hand Downtown <3 ---edit---
