"Most people can look back over the years and identify a time and place at which their lives changed significantly. Whether by accident or design, these are the moments when, because of a readiness within us and a collaboration with events occurring around us, we are forced to seriously reappraise ourselves and the conditions under which we live and to make certain choices that will affect the rest of our lives."

I suck at this...

Well, I guess I decided to update this thing.

School started up again, & it's going well so far. I like all my classes & my professors so that's definitely a plus. I have two classes after this semester before I can FINALLY graduate! Then on to the stress of finding out what's next for me. Gahhh.

My brother, Brett, who has been stationed in Japan through the Navy is finally back in the states, along with his wife, Lisa, & my nephew, Blake. I'm glad they're here. :) It's the first time I've met any of them. It's good to have more family around.

Cody's really sick & it's scaring me. He can't move very easily. He'll be wrapped in a million blankets but he still shivers terribly & his body is way too hot. I'm really worried about him. I spent the day taking care of him as much as I could. I feel completely helpless in the fact that I can't help him or make him feel better. I just really hope he feels better soon. :(

That's all I've got for now. Going to do some homework, or read, or just pass out. K bye.
