Really you guys, what am I going to do? I have five months to finish five credits. I should be able to finish school, but I must take into account the unexpected. For example, what if I require another surgery come spring? Or what if there is a death in the family? Or if I am stricken sick..which happened on Thursday through Sunday, I've been sick with a cold.

I tried to go to school on Friday, and I made it through most of the day. But in the end, I was sent home. When I told my teacher that I couldn't stay after to take a final, she told me "That's fine. I'm not too worried about you." meaning she wasn't worried about me failing the class.

But can I finish? I don't want to come back in the fall...fall is when they are starting the new policy that a student must have an additional two math and two science credits in order to graduate. I can't spend another four months in school!! I just CAN'T

What am I going to do? I'm trying, can't you tell? Perhaps I am not trying hard enough...I try to get eight hours of sleep, and I try to make sure that my body has what it needs...but maybe I need to sacrifice those things for time. I MUST FINISH!! I set goals for myself!! I will be The Outstanding Student of the Year! I will be my class's valedictorian!!! I will make my parents ******** it, I'll never be like my brother.

My brother, by the way, is now a world renown artist. Yep. His works are now hanging in military offices all over the world...
