Just so you all know I officiallly love family gatherings in Montreal!
Uncle's 50th birthday party + too many strawberry daqueries = Shannon feeling like she got run over by a truck at some point last night. But it's all goood =)
Lately I just haven't been to keen on getting out of bed in the morning. Between my uncle passing away and stupid boys and an always growing pile of homework, I have been a complete wreck.
Legends never die. While that may be true, they still leave this world, and I miss him so much. Why did he have to leave. I wasn't ready to let go. It's just so hard to deal with.
Fine, I caved. But it's not my fault, really it isn't.
Project 365 sounds like fun. A picture a day, every day for a year, a picture that best describes your day. I think it's an awesome idea. You should start one, and if you have, well add me.
This being said, it is extremely cold outside and I just soaked about half of my wardrobe while shoveling the driveway. By the way I'm grounded off the computer. Don't you just love how forceful my parents are with their punishments.
Exams are DONE! I'm extremely happy about this. I now have 4 days off before school again. French exam - Went well, not great, not horrible, just well American history exam - Let's not talk about that one okay? Anthro exam - AMAZING! It was soooooooo easy.
So now for the bad news. My uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer last Saturday. This past weekend my dad flew to Montreal to see him. In the month since we've seen him he has deteriorated so quickly he looks 20 years older, his skin is practically grey. My family is led to believe by his health that he has more than lung cancer, but general cancer affecting all of his internal organs. Likelyhood is he won't make it to see the summer.
Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it, if it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Life is simple, you make choices and you don't look back.
School sucks. That is the conclusion I have come to. All I ever seem to be doing anymore is school work. I mean it wouldn't be so bad if it was something I'm interested, but it's not. It seriously sucks.
Boys suck. Yes, another conclusion that I have just recently developed. They really do suck, they're just confusing wastes of time. I hate it.
Families suck. My parents are insane, my brother is annoying. There is always a fight going on, I mean seriously, how could they think that seeing a family like this does not affect me.
I'm truly scared you'll always believe I don't care, and that I don't love you. Trust me, that's the farthest thing from the truth. Yet, I know I don't have the strength to actually tell you any of this.
I'm sorry for what you think is happening, and it's not what you think, that I can promise.
My mind just isn't shutting off. I can't seem to clear it.
