Amidst finality
Am I the only one who's amazed that "finality" is actually a word?!
I was planning on an update following finals week, but upon Jess's prompting here I am.
We'll start with a small update of my family life. Three major things to touch on this time, two of which are a continuation of previous issues.
My last blog was greatly dedicated to my sister and her apparent loss of sanity. Since that last blog she went home, but only for a short while. She is currently back at UNMH, or something like that in the psych ward. Shortly after returning from her last visit she had an outburst in which she punched a hole in the wall of her room, then locked herself in her closet. Once she emerged from the closet at the urging of the police it was made apparent there was some sort of suicide attempt with a hanger. Back to the psych ward she went, and as been there for over two weeks now. Causing a ruckus up there too. Biggest issue of this as of right now is my parents' insurance refusing to further pay for Jamie's time at this shelter. So they are currently in three battles, one with the issue mentioned in the last blog, one against the insurance company so they can stop paying $1000 a day for Jamie's care, and finally the battle to get medicaid to take over the payments.
Next issue around the family, my grandmother. Due to her deteriorating health it is looking less and less likely that she will be on chemotherapy for much longer. Her liver is deteriorating and because of her severe loss of appetite she's not eating enough to support the trauma her body is undergoing. My mother has to look into what to do with my grandmother over the next few months until the inevitable happens... A lot to wait for...
Finally, this weekend I will be attending one of my "cousins'" high school graduation party. It'll be interesting to see some of the family I haven't been in contact with for sometime. As twisted as it may seem I'm rather excited for the possibility of confrontation. They have, since my last interaction with them, joined an extremely right-wing christian church. Needless to say they would be extremely opposed to my homosexuality. I will not make it a point to be sure everyone knows I'm gay, but I won't hide it if for some reason it comes up in conversation... who knows, perhaps I'll have an awesome story to tell in my next blog!!!!
Now on to something I told myself I would not blog about in this new blog very often... Relationships. It has been some time since I have been excited about a new guy, but for a short while last month I was. To add to that, it was reciprocated. Because of this, I had two dates to our prom (sorry Jess!). Dea said "at this rate you'll be boyfriends in like two weeks," and it certainly seemed that way... but yet again out of left field... he called it off. Now I'm not devistated at all, it wasn't a very long dating period and I hadn't grown all that attached to him, but it did suck. I had in my sights something that I've wanted for some time and then it was gone. Once again... back to the "sitting, waiting, wishing." The more time goes by the more I return to the possibly comforting plan of just waiting till my departure from New Mexico to find someone.
To conclude my blog, a glimpse at my future. Following this summer, and the ending of my lease at my house, I will be moving into an apartment by myself for the first time in my life. My parents have already helped a ton by purchasing new pots and pans, plates, bowls, and knives for me. I've got some huge plans for my life after this move, first starting with a new fitness routine. I think the power of those obnoxious infomercials (in combination with youtube users' postings) has finally swayed me to give P90X a chance... completely ridiculous! Once I start it I'll be relying on you guys a lot to keep me motivated, though I have faith I can stick to it through the 3 months of intense workouts and specific eating requirements.
Then there's RENT. The Golden Shoes this year made me realize that RENT is my last chance to do something worthwhile at UNM... So here's hoping my last production at UNM gives me something to proudly leave behind once I graduate.
SoOoOoO... I suppose that's it... for now. With any luck I will have more entertaining/substantial things to report on. For your entertainment... please check out adult.engrish.com
I personally love this one!
