KayKay......that's just too tempting. We're going to have to plan that, I'll be looking forward to it.

Alrighty, well....instead of making you all PM me to find out what the whole deal is with me right now, I might as well just post it. No harm done......

Emma has PMed me already, so I'll just copy the "brief" explanation and paste it here.

"It's a long story, but I'll give you the main idea of it. My dad was told not too long ago that he has cancer. He's been doing treatments and all that, but things haven't improved yet.....and it's not only getting scary, but extremely stressful. It's been rough on all of us, and I think it's just gotten to the point where no one in my family can really think about anything else.

Also, things with my boyfriend have become "rocky" lately....and our relationship is on the borderline right now. Normally I wouldn't be so depressed about a guy or a relationship, but we've been together for nearly 4 years......so it's not an easy thing to get through right now. Granted, we are still together.....but the whole future of our relationship is pretty questionable right now.

So yeah, with all of that and having to really work on my grades [yikes], I need some time to just recollect myself and sort things out. It's my senior year of college, and it's turning out to be pretty disappointing thus far. Whew....."

So there ya go, short and to the point.....things aren't easy right now, and I really can't even concentrate long enough to really understand my thoughts.
