Depressing, Yet Great News...
|
|
| |
I started classes at Ivy Tech in Kokomo this previous Monday. I think I'm going to do okay in the classes that I picked out. They're seem like they're pretty easy (for me at least). I have a few updates in my life this new year. When I got up with my fiance Saturday morning at 4:30 to get him off to work and after he left I heard my mother talking in the bedroom with someone. About 20 minutes later she comes out to the living room and asks me what time I have to work today and I replied at 1:30 to 10. She told me that my brother would have to take me to work then because she has to go to the hospital. And I'm like What?! My grandfather had gotten up at 4 Saturday morning to go to the bathroom. He stood up out of bed and had a major headache, so he layed back down. Then, he poked my Grandma Louise in the side and asked her to go get him some Tylenol for his headache. She brought back Bayer Asprin instead. He then went to the bathroom with the aid of holding onto things on the way. He started coming back to the bedroom and he got halfway there and couldn't go any farther. So, he layed down on the couch in the living room. That's where he stayed until the Ambulance came. They took tests at Marion General Hospital, and it showed that he had a brain bleed. So, they lifelined him to Methodist Hospital (Clariton Health) in Indianapolis. I ended up calling off work and going to the hospital with my mom and the rest of my family. He is staying at the Critical Care Unit at Methodist Hospital until further notice. He is doing a lot better since his surgery at 2:00 yesterday afternoon. Hopefully he will be returning home here shortly.
Other news is...I am now engaged to a man (Zachary Scott Ollis) that I love, so desperately and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. He is so great to me. He may not be a total complete Christian, but he is working on it. The great thing about that is is that he will help me with my walk with the Lord, but in the same great way I will also be helping him.

1:36PM - Today is my first full day of being at
home, and it feels so weird. I never thought I'd
feel this way when I came home, but I do
(unfortunately). I'm just so used to living at Ball
State that it's just so weird living at home. I
miss all my friends, and I hate that I won't be able to
see them as often. I cried, though, for the first
time last night. My cat, Oreo, was kind of cute,
though. When I laid down last night, Oreo was
laying at the foot of my bed. I began to think
about all my friends at BSU, and it made me start
crying. I assume Oreo heard me crying because the
next thing I knew he was curling up beside me. He
always seems to comfort me when I'm crying or just
feeling a little blue, you'd think he was
human.
9:02PM - My mother is signing the lease for
the apartment on Monday, and I am so excited. But,
then again, I'm not. I am excited about the
apartment because I'll be able to start from scratch on
my room. I'm NOT excited because it's not our
home. We'll basically have to start from scratch on
making memories. I have happy memories here at our
home now, and it'll be hard to leave them behind.
But I'll get by. I have some painful ones,
too. There are a few of you out there who know
about this, but not the details. The painful
memories have basically been haunting me for years.
So, this new apartment will be quite a challenge and an
adventure for me. It's going to be a lot different,
but I'm always up for a challenge/adventure.
:D

midnight:22 - I just wanted to put in a few words before
I headed off to bed. So, I know I said I was going to
call Amanda and ask her about a summary of what Pam
talked about tonight, but unfortunately that never
happened. Maybe I'll call her sometime tomorrow or
Sunday. I'm not quite sure yet. But, I was talking to
Lindsay tonight, and she said it felt weird not seeing me
at CRU tonight. I did feel kind of weird not being at
CRU. I know I've only missed two or three CRU's in the
past (since I started going), but this was different for
some reason. I suppose it's because I'm no longer
on-campus anymore, and it just feels kind of weird. Yes,
I know, that doesn't make any sense, but it does to me.
I never realized until after I officially left campus
that I'd miss my crew so much. It feels so weird being
at home and not being able to just leave my room, walk
down the hall and then Jen, Vanessa or somebody would be
there. I can tell that it's going to take some time to
get used to this, since I've been so used to living
on-campus. I felt like an idiot tonight, though. At
9ish, I grobbed my ID and headed for the door. My mother
asked me what I was doing. Without even thinking, I
replied, "I'm gonna go grad din-." And that's when I
realized I no longer have to do that anymore. I had made
a complete fool of myself. So, I know for a fact that
this whole thing is going to take some time getting used to.

7:23PM - Today was an exciting day for me, but yet at the
same time it was sad. At times today, I felt as if I was
to cry but didn't. I miss my friends already, and I
haven't been gone that long. This morning I got up to my
normal schedule, 7AM. My roomate, Sarah, and I went to
breakfast, but since I still had some packing to do I
grab 'n' goed. I went back to my room, started packing
and then my mother showed up around 8:45AM. My mother
and I then went to my advising appointment. I told my
advisor that I was going to withdraw from Ball State. We
were given some information on which classes are
transferrable from Ivy Tech back to Ball State. She then
sent us to the Administrative Building to fill out my
withdrawal paperwork. Next, we went over to Lucina to
the Counseling Center to deliver some paperwork for my
counselor to complete and turn into the Administrative
Office. After that, we went to the Financial Aid office
to see if I would recieve any financial aid back but
unfortunately not. Earlier my mother recieved a ticket
because our metered parking spot had expired, while we
were in my advising appointment. So, our helper in
Lucina sent us over to the Student Center to the Parking
Services office. With them there knowing that I was in
the midst of withdrawing that day, they excused our
ticket plus another one that my older brother recieved
two weeks before. We were finally done with running
around doing things, so we went back to my dorm and
started packing the rest of my stuff. Oh my gosh! I
never realized how much stuff I crammed into my room
until we tried to get it all home. We made it in one
whole trip, thankfully!! My mother went down after the
car (when we were ready to put it into the vehicle), and
my mother found that we had received yet ANOTHER flippin'
ticket. I HATE BSU PARKING SERVICES!!!!!! We finally
got to leave at around 3:30PM. Even though it's only
8:25PM now and I have been away for long, I still miss my
friends. I hate that I had to miss CRU tonight, but my
mother forgot to mention that my brother had class this
evening. I REALLY wish I could see Amanda's skit and
hear Pam's message, but unfortunately I have to miss it.
So, I think later tonight (after CRU) I'm going to call
Amanda and ask her for a summary of what Pam spoke about.

9:26am - Today is my hectic day, unfortunately. I have
so many things to do today it's not even funny. I had
breakfast with my roomie at 8. I have a counseling
appointment at noon. Then I have lunch with Lindsay at
1. Next, Bible Study in the Atrium with Pam and Amanda.
I plan on going to the mall with my roomie at 3:15,
instead of class. Then at 7, I plan on having dinner
with Ashley and Geanette. Finally, it's off to Starbucks
or Panera with Amanda!! YAY!! That's going to be SO
much fun. I CAN'T WAIT!! Now, I have to start packing,
unfortunately.
5:15PM - So, I started packing today, and I started
talking to Melissa. I then started browsing through my
pictures of Beck, Lor, Ash, Amanda, Mo, Jen, Pam, Shanda,
and some of my other friends. And it made me realize how
much I'm going to miss them. I love them all SO much.
They're all like family to me and nothing will change
that. I seriously do no know what I'm going to do
without them. I wouldn't be surprised if I just started
balling my eyes out every night. They have been such a
blessing in my life. They've blessed me in so many ways,
more than they could ever imagaine.
midnight:50 - So, technically it's not April 3rd, but I
wanted to write some last minute things in here before I
headed off to the sack. Tonight was such a blast with
Amanda. It was fun, yet sad at the same time. We were
going to go to Panera, but unfortunately they were closed
when we got there at 9:40PM. Instead, we went to
Starbucks. We talked about stuff. I started thinking
about me leaving, and I almost started crying. I'm going
to miss them so much, though.
