The Bad News

Yesterday, October 26, 2010 I woke up thinking it was going to be a good day and that I was going to have a good day. I was able to get someone to cover part of my shift at work so that I could go to my sister's choir concert. However, what started off as an optimistic day turned into a really hard day. And it was not a bad day because of the weather or because i was stuck in a basement full of people that annoyed the crap out of me. It turned into a bad day because sometime between 11am and noon I received a text message from one of my Aunts. She went to the doctor and they found 4 tumors!!! That is a lot of tumors. I have heard of people finding one but never more than one at a time. As of right now they are not sure if its cancer and they are not sure if they are going to be able to do anything for her. Her doctors said there is a really good chance though that it could be cancer. As if that news was not enough, literally a few hours later I received another text message, this time from my grandma. She told me that doctors had found cancer in my great grandma. Now my great grandma and great grandpa are my role models. They are who helped make me who I am. They took me to church and got me involved. When I was having rough times they were there and always showed me so was God and that if they were  not there at the moment that I was never alone. Now both of them are in a nursing home neither of them doing the greatest. We have no idea how bad the cancer is yet. It is sad to say but unfortunately because my great grandma has had bad health for so long now I am just kinda preparing myself and waiting for the text or call saying she has past away. Getting all t hat bad news really made my day hard and rough. I sat in my dorm by myself and just cried when my roommate was in class. I just keep praying they caught the cancer early enough in both of my relatives that something can be done and they can get help. But I also know that in the event they can not help them and we lose them soon I know I will never be alone thanks to my great grandparents.

Group Research So Far

So far for our research I have fond a few sources and facts that I plan to use in my paper and that we could use in our presentation. We have all discussed our group proposal and we split  up the parts of our proposal so that each person on our group can have an equal part and responsibility in our group proposal. I have already done my part of the proposal for tomorrow. I am not too sure on all the progress my group has made but I have kept up my part and done the research and my part of the proposal. I am waiting to see if anyone else in my group decides to do their part in the proposal and if not I will do it tonight too. But this is the progress of our group proposal and research as of today.

Research Paper Progress

So for today's blog we are suppose to write about the progress of our papers that we are suppose to do with a group and by ourselves. Well I had to miss class Wednesday because of a midterm that I had to take and that was the only time available for that day. Due to the fact that I missed class  I have no idea what is going on with the paper. I do not know who is in my group or nothing. I tried emailing Dr. Hartman to ask him  about what is going on with the paper and group stuff and tried asking a few fellow classmates but nobody that I contacted including the teacher bothered to get back to me. Therefore, I have not done any research, not picked a topic, have no group, do not even understand the assignment or nothing. i know it is my responsibility but when nobody will help you understand what is going on what are you suppose to do? This assignment is a disaster for me right now  and I am worried I may end up failing this assignment something I do  not do and can not afford to do.

Midterms

As we all known our midterms are coming fast. Mine are all next week. I am freaking out about them. I just get so anxious when I take tests and I sometimes freeze up. I never do that super on tests. I am the type of student that doesn't like to get C's because to me it is failing. If I do bad on my tests I will probably cry because they will bring down my grades. Right now I have all A's but two and those are B's. At least I have two days off this weekend that I can use as study time to prepare for my tests. I hope everything works out and turns out and I do good on my midterms this coming week.
