Well, I thought a little update would be nice. It really has been a really busy few days for me...Where would be a good place to start? Let's see...
Wednesday morning, my uncle passed away, the cancer he had spread, and even though they said he had 3 to 6 months to live, he went sooner than that...I can't believe he's gone. We weren't really that close, but at the same time, I grew up around him, he lived at my grandma's house and took care of her, I can remember looking up at him when I was little. He seemed so mean then. Not even mean, just, out there. Then when I got older, he seemed to be more playful, he would always shake our hands, and he'd look at me or my sisters, and gesturing to one, he'd say, "How'd you get her out of the house?" I haven't really cried yet, but I know come the funeral, I'm going to be a mess.

Next..orientation. Oh how I hate thee. It was okay, I guess, nothing I shouldn't have expected, but really, I thought we'd be sitting and listening to someone talk all day. Uh, no. Up and down and all around Lamar, my poor feet, standing in a line for IDs, I was taking my shoes on and off the whole time. Did I mention I was wearing high heels? Yeah, not doing that again. Then when I finally got to leave, I couldn't get any service, and after walking back and forth in the heat, with still no service, I stopped a girl and borrowed her phone. That done, I went outside and waited. Good lord, it was hot. Very very hot. And when my aunt finally came, I skittered over to her truck so fast...At least I'm done with it.

Monday is going to be something, that's for sure. I have to get up to go take my THEA, then right after, I have to go to the funeral, THEN we have to go see about my dad, who's getting surgery on his leg....like I said, so much going on....
