FUCK

today has not been a good day so far.

Been awake since 5 trying to help my mom get everything ready for my Tia’s surgery. Making sure my little brother eats & goes to school on time. Need to get his paper to the school because our printer is awful.

And….. finally got a hold of the college.

They put me on academic probation because of the semester where I dropped out of all my classes BECAUSE I HAD NO CHOICE and was deathly ill.

Now, I can’t register for classes. And everything is filled up pretty much.

There are two that have ONE space and it seems hopeless.

Now, I have to drive myself down to said school which I’m not even close to anymore and hopefully talk to a counselor.

Have already been talked to like I’m an idiot on the phone.

“Um…. you’ve been sick for how long? Why did that make you drop out in the middle of classes? “

REALLY PEOPLE?

Oh goodness Universe, give me the strength to keep my head above water. Give my Tia the strength to get through this surgery well.

Ps: Please give me the strength to even be able to drive this much without passing out and getting in a car accident. Just today for goodness sake give me the energy to feel totally normally today.
