Life As Of Late

This week coming up is gonna be tough.  On the fourth and the sixth, I have appointments with two different counselors.  (My mom wanted me to find another one and basically compare.  I admit, the one she found is cheaper, but Ryan recommended the first one I called and she seems really nice.)  All I know is I’m gonna have a tough week because I’m gonna be bringing all this stuff to the surface twice in three days.  It’s not gonna be easy.

But, for class, I have a paper I’m writing that’s guaranteed to give me an easy A.  I’m writing it about my speculations about epilepsy and discoveries about what affects Rob and sets off his seizures.

Speaking of him, I feel bad for him right now.  Like I said in an entry I’m not sure how long ago, his dad has leukemia.  And I don’t know if it’s because of complications related to that or what, but he’s been in the hospital for probably over a week at this point, and he’s been on a respirator.  I guess other things have come up to that all point to a lack of survival.  Rob told me tonight that it’s basically the respirator keeping him alive, and right now it’s up to his mom to decide when his dad will die.

Like I said, I feel bad for Rob, but to be completely honest, I don’t have any sympathy whatsoever for his dad.  He’s a jackass who made Rob feel worthless and worse on more than  one ocassion.  And considering how long he’s smoked and drank in excess, it’s no surprise that his body’s giving out on him like this.  Heck, I remember saying, a bit over two years ago when Rob and I first started hanging out, that his dad would be lucky to live another five years.

What do you know?  I was right.

Tomorrow night I’m going to a sleepover at Melanie’s, which should be fun. 

I’m also gonna scout around and see if I can find the second to last and last volume of Death Note so I can find out what happens at the end.  I’m so glad this one has a definite conclusion.  I hate mangas that just drag on and on.

Well, my life is pretty boring right now.  I’ve really got nothing else to write on, so I’m gonna go.
