Hey Sarah, Well I have been meaning to talk and write to you about life’s latest happenings but, as you know, I have been some what preoccupied. To start off....David, my math buddie, said he was going to drop the class. (insight to one self...ummm, you kinda need the class to graduate!!!) So, of course, me being a good friend, I try to talk to him about graduation and all the options he has to consider if he drops out. I also think things are just really bad for him b/c his parents just told him they are getting a divorce. Poor kid. :( But, as it would happen tho he came in and seemed to be better goal oriented. He is going to drop out of Econ Honors and go to reg. He will also stay in my math class with me!! Yay! So as things seem to take a turn for the worst, in this case anyways, they have seemed to redeem themselves. There have also has been another issue bothering me, but this is one in which I plan to keep a secret. Also tho, my sister’s friend Randy, and her brother (whos name starts with a K something….we’ll just call him Kyle for story purposes) both live with their grandma who just had an accident and broke her hip and the ball in the hip socket is bad so she is immobilized for some time. It has been difficult I assume to take care of two 7 year old children and still try and recover. Well to make matters short, the grandparents are not in such good standing and they are old. So, we just might “adopt” or take in two more kids. At the present standing tho we will be taking Randy and Kyle to our house to work on homework and eating dinner with us. Bob also volunteered to take the little boy to car shows with him to have him get some “male influence” time. Its cute!! Although the situation with their grandparents is bad I know it will all work out for the better. Why are some peoples lives filled with such things to overcome? I guess I just feel so fortunate to have a great family that supports and cares so much about me. I cant imagine what it must be like to have that support system gone form daily life, although it has been said you cant miss what you never had right? Say something nice for them k? Well, surprisingly enough today I was quite alert and happy for only having like 3-4 hours of sleep. People also seemed to be happy today so that was good. I like happy people and peoples happy moods. Despite my accounting for all the things that seem to be going wrong, mostly every things good with me. (excluding me knee, but I am scared to mention this to my mom b/c I will have to have an MRI done with a needle and dye…ahhh *tear* ) Well there’s a research paper waiting for me to finish it so I better be going. (I can’t believe I just personified a research paper. Whats the world coming to?) Anywho, going to help Wes later with his research paper and then going to be doing my own so talk to you later. Remember: “Patients is Virtuous” lol. :) Audra*
