Life and Stress

I haven't actually posted in over two weeks because of life taking it's turn with me. Classes started, and I somehow enrolled myself in a fast fasttrack class..if I had known what I was doing, I would have thought twice about it. It's a 16-week class crammed into 4 weeks ::sighs:: called Special Ed. Then I'm taking another class, Reading, that is also a 16-week course not so crammed into 8 weeks. Those plus work has been keeping me on my toes. Keeping up with the homework, papers, reading and such has always been difficult for me while trying to squeeze in working. So, because of all of that I am stressing out about grades and not having enough money like I think I need.

Well...to top all of that off, Roger's grandmother is having some major health issues. When I first met Roger, his GM was battling breast cancer. She went through all the treatments, and actually got it into remission. Now she is having major heart issues...her heart is beating up to 120+ beats per minute when a normal average is 60 or so. She's been dealing with extremely low blood pressure, despite any meds they put her on, and what her heart is doing, is beating 2 beats instead of one to try to even out her blood pressure. That is causing her heart to become extremely weak. Basically, her heart is beating like she is in constant excercise...her doctor is so worried about her heart being so weak that she went in this morning to have a defibulator put in her chest. This is all worrying Roger to death, but being the boy that he is, he won't release that worry or even the fear he's feeling about the possibility of her not making it through all of this. I love him so much, and his grandparents are the only thing I can relate to as family for him in place of parents...I don't know how many of you know that he doesnt' have parents. Both were murdered, his mother at age 2 and is father before he graduated high school. So I care deeply for his grandparents as if they are my own, and it is really hard for me right now. I've only lost one of my own, my Opa, but I was too young to really remember. So I'm having to shoulder the fear and worry for both myself and Roger and it's just been really stressful for and hard on me.

My Brain Using E's Test

I hate sports...but I don't like dogs either...::shrugs::

You Are 35% Left Brained, 65% Right Brained


The left side of your brain controls verbal ability, attention to detail, and reasoning.

Left brained people are good at communication and persuading others.

If you're left brained, you are likely good at math and logic.

Your left brain prefers dogs, reading, and quiet.


The right side of your brain is all about creativity and flexibility.

Daring and intuitive, right brained people see the world in their unique way.

If you're right brained, you likely have a talent for creative writing and art.

X-Men

I saw X-III Saturday. It was, in my opinion, better than the first two. However, I HATE what that director/writer did with Rogue. She was my favorite X-man, and she was a whiney pussy in all three movies. ::fumes::

The three movies were good, if you took them as just movies. If you go expecting the comics, you'll be sorely dissappointed in III. Stay after the credits if you see it. ::winks::

You scored as Dr. Xavier.
