It took me about a year for my parents' separation to hit me, I wonder how long this news is going to take to affect me.

So, my mom had melanoma in her toe 2 years ago and got it surgically removed. After physical therapy and lots of patience, she started walking normally again about 6 months ago. Yesterday, after a biopsy of her toe and another one of her lymph nodes, the results came back and the malignant melanoma metasticized to her lymph  nodes. Next Friday she has a meeting with Surgical Oncology. I guess I'll know then what is going to happen from here on out. But after websurfing and researching I saw that she might only have 12 to 15 months if it keeps spreading. It's not for sure, but it's something I'm definitely keeping in mind.

The point of this post is for me to ponder about how late of a reaction I have and hopefully I won't do anything I might regret, like not spending enough time with my mom while I have the chance. I don't like long posts, so I kept it short and sweet. But this is my reminder, or post-it-note, if you will.

On a lighter note:

So .. it's back. haha =) I miss reflecting and writing about loads and loads of nonsense.

Update on my life:
- I'm at UT Austin now (HOOK 'EM!) and I love it. Getting in to McCombs College of Business was probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me. I feel incredibly accomplished and proud of myself for making it and now the next hurdle is graduation and finding a major. This is going to be an intense task because, well, that means I have to figure out what I want to do with my life. I'm looking at Finance, Management, and Marketing. I'm told that I should major in something that will get me a job. Although I feel like I'd fit in most by majoring in Marketing, Finance would be a much better route because anyone could get a job in Marketing not just marketing majors. My first semester at UT was exciting and I learned a lot about time management, but that doesn't mean I'm going to be successful in it this year. I can't shake that feeling that I made it =).

- I no longer live in Plano. Which makes me incredibly sad, I miss the town and the people so much! All my friends are there so it's pretty difficult passing the days here in Cedar Hill without seeing my friends. But I visit as often as possible even though paying for gas is probably going to make my family broke.

- My family is doing pretty well, I get along with my mom a lot better that before. I guess it's all a part of growing up! haha I'm trying to grow up I swear! It's hard taking on responsibilities but I think it's worth it in the long run. It's worth it to see my mom sleep well when I'm at home.


I hope no one expects something profound to be said on this xanga, it ain't gonna happen. haha =)

Have a great day =)
