My Six months of absents

*sighs* Let’s see… Where to begin… Well, I can start with the month of June, that’s when (I believe) I disappeared and work my way down to January.

June: My vacation is almost up and I was about to start school, once again, for the month of July. My class: Art of course. XD

July: The month has been fun and hard. I’ve learned so much in that class. Especially, the part, where I had to draw a nude person times two. o.O It was a very weird experience, but in the end, I was impressed of what I drew. I’ll post up all my artwork later on. My grade for that class: B XD

August: This month, I’ll say, was hard for me. You see, my aunt asked me to watch over my uncle, he has Alzheimer’s disease (it is a brain disorder that destroys brain cells and loss of memory from past life to now). I knew nothing about this disease, just of what I hear from my aunt and my family. Even with this information, I thought it would be a walk in the park…I thought wrong. Most days would be easy, others…it just wasn’t easy. Alzheimer’s disease is very difficult to understand, until you experience one that has it, you begin to understand what this disease really is. Even has I am typing about it, I find it hard to type at all. My uncle is not the same person I once knew. He has some memory of me, but sometimes, he does not know of who I am (or his friends and family). Every day it gets worst and worst, even with the meds he takes; it’s not really working for him. And my poor aunt, who comes home tired from work, has to deal with him. This was a very difficult month for me and this was only the beginning.

September to mid-December: School starts again for me, again one class, because it’s all I can afford. I decide to take a class that would intrigue me. That class would be Human Sexuality. XD What? I wanted to take this class for a very long time. XD It was an enjoyable class, but in between (and there’s really no pun to it), I felt I didn’t want to do anything for that class. I felt I didn’t want to pass. I was down, not really up to it, perhaps depressed. I just didn’t really see the point of coming to class. I was…almost about to give up. Just taking one class at a time, family drama, what’s happening to my uncle, and all that jazz. This was a moment of the winter blues (here’s the link for more info on it: www.gannett.cornell.edu/heal..…), and this was a very first for me. I’ve never felt like that in my life. But I hanged in there and passed the class with a B. I could have gotten a higher grade, then that, but I’m just glad I passed the class with that grade mark (and not a C). ^_^

Mid-December to mid-January: VACATION TIME!!! XD And also my “me” time. ^_^ I needed a break from all of this. So I just kicked back and had some R&R. My vacation was good, including Christmas and New Years. There’s nothing new about that; just on my laptop, chatting, and sleep. XD So, I hope this year will be a good one, will pass my class once again, and hopefully get a job. *fingers crossed*

***I promise to get through all your art and comments asap. No journals, because there is too much of them. I'm sorry, but they must be deleted. ><
