Yes, finally.
This past year has been hectic. My brother is doing better than expected, though his remaining kidney is not doing so well. We don't exactly know how long he has left due to the tuberous sclerosis, but it could be anywhere from 6 months to another year, possibly longer depending upon treatment options.
About 7 months ago my father went for a doctors appointment due to pain that he had in his eye for several days. After some tests, a very small growth was found behind it, and was removed (he was awake for the procedure, though medicated). The tests on it came back as being malignant, and so he is now going through chemotherapy for treatment of his cancer. Luckily it was caught in the earliest possible stage, and so we are hopeful that he can beat it. His father did manage to beat it at 82 years of age.
I dated a girl from January 1st to August 14th, the latter date being the day that she broke up with me. I found out two weeks later that she had been cheating on me while we were still dating, and that the reason she broke up with me was to go back to her ex who had beaten and abused her for the better part of two years (Note: It was not her (now-no-longer) ex whom she was cheating on me with while we were still together. She is a chronic cheater, it seems, and likes to sleep around, yet will become offended if anyone points that out to her). Granted, this isn't the first time that I have had my heart broken or been cheated on, but the whole situation with her has left me with lingering bad feelings toward her. The less contact I have with her, the better and happier I feel, and so I try to avoid any contact with her as often as possible.
On a brighter note, college is going well. Politics is tempting...
Anyone questions, feel free to ask them here. I will answer when I can.
