Well, tomorrow's back to school. I'm not really looking forward to that. I don't mind school really, I just wish it was more of an option. I also wish summer were longer. But oh well, right? I may or may not have to make a speech in front of the school addressing my brittle bones. I don't like doing that, it's very scary to speak in front of so many people, but it has to be done. Of course due to new vice principals, they might not call me up, so I don't know if I will wind up doing that this year or not. If I don't do it tomorrow, I'll push for it to be done at the next grade meeting.

Life's been a bit of a bummer last couple days. My grandma (dad's mom who lives in the states) was taken to the hospital on Saturday and found out that she had some internal bleeding in her abdomen. My dad and Jeanne, as well as my sister drove to Quincy where my grandma lives and then went to the hospital to see her. The doctors performed an exploratory surgery on her, to find out where exactly the bleed was, and try to stop it, but when they did that, her heart stopped. She had died. They revived her, and brought her back, and finished the surgery. But they weren't able to stop the bleeding. It looks like she's going to die. She's at the hospital still and has tubes in her throat so she's not able to talk, but she is well aware of everything that's going on around her. I got to call last night and say my good-byes to her on the phone. That was probably the hardest thing I've ever done. I sort of wish she'd been able to respond to me, but I understand why she couldn't. At least I got to tell her I loved her and how much she meant to me. That's important. I know that I'm lucky because I got to do that, and a lot of people never do. That doesn't make it any easier though. The actors on T.V. who have to act out a scene where they're saying good bye to a loved one do not do that justice. It's so much harder. They make it seem pretty emotional, but it's worse than that when you're the one saying good bye.
Anyway, I did some writing last night when I went to bed. I'm not going to post it here just yet, I don't think I'm ready to do that.

A few days ago the lunar eclipse went on. Greg was over when that happened, and we went outside at around 1:00 in the morning to see it happen. Nothing special, and it lasted a long time. We didn't see the whole thing. I tried getting some pictures, but none really showed up very well.

I've also been to get my hair cut today! :) I needed it cut really bad! My hair gets so curly when it's too long, and I hate it! But now it's short so it's not as curly! :D I also took some pictures of myself and what not today. I'll post a picture of the moon as well as a few new ones of me on here.
