Probably going to be a bullet-format entry. Or something. SO MUCH CRAP going on.
First of all: Tomorrow is the club fair. I'm going to bepimping touting the campus anime club, for which I am the librarian/historian. (I get to take pretty pictures and write stuff up, hooray! Club LJ time!) I should probably go make sure my camera's battery is charged. Yeah, that would be good...
Second: I just found out my roommate was one of the people who helped create Mugglenet.com. (HOLY CRAP WOW.) She also had never eaten ramen before. So tonight we argued over how many Death Eaters showed up at the graveyard scene in GoF and I taught her to make instant ramen. ^^
Third: My mom is going to visit my grandparents on Wednesday. Evidently they're not doing too well. I also found out my aunt has cancer for the second time. (Considering that I didn't even know she'd had cancer a first time...well...) It's a single tumor in her liver, and she'll probably be going to Seattle to have an operation. It isn't spreading and the doctors are hopeful, so I think things will turn out okay, but I'll definitely be praying for her. Hard. And lots.
Most people would be worried and terrified out of their wits at news like that. I'm worried about the fact that I'm really not. I'm scared for her, but I'm not deathly afraid. I'm not crying. Mostly I'm just tired - I haven't been getting enough sleep. I guess this is just how I deal...it may not be "normal," but I suppose it works. It's not like I don't care, it really isn't. I just...well...I'm just confused. Last time somebody in my family had cancer that I knew about, it was my grandma on my dad's side and she died. That was only two years ago.
There are definitely some differences between my grandma and my aunt, however. My grandma was old, this was her second bout with cancer, and it was small-cell...cancer of the blood, I think. My aunt is young, healthy as a horse (she raises racehorses, so I'm sure that helps), and has a fairly easy type of cancer to treat.
...I don't know how to end this. Oh, wait, yes I do.
God please help her. God please help all of us.
