Why don't I have any sad Userpics????
Thanksgiving was a joke... I've been home at my Grandmothers and my Grandfather who suffered from ALS (Lou Gherigs disease) was not doing well. He was all morphined up, and non-responsive. I went to my other Grandfathers for dinner, then to Amandas for dessert. The day was not too bad at this point. We went to her Aunts and I once again met all her family, a couple hours later we decided to leave, and we were going to spend the rest of the night with eachother at her house.
On the ride home I got a phone call from my Mom. My grandfather had passed away. We all knew this was going to happen for the past 6 years, but I cried even more than when we discovered he had the terminal illness.
The worst part, is that this week is the busiest testing and tight schedule week of the term. An exam in both my classes, 6 hours of lab, advisor meetings... The wake is going to be Monday night, and the Funeral Tuesday. I'll be going back to WPI Saturday, try to accomplish whatever work I can before Monday, and then coming back home for the Wake.

You are probably the only reason I'm successful as I am, and were always my motivator and mentor. I think the last words you said to me were "Do Good in School", and you probably have said that to me a million times in my life. Thanks for setting me down the right path.
I think I'm going insane, I'm all alone in this house and hearing noises. I'm about 2 seconds from locking myself in this room until someone comes back.
