I've been back from Europe since early on in December and it has been (mostly) fantastic. I've loved being close to family and everything, but I've had to go back to normal classes here and it feels like Europe was just a dream more as each day passes. This semester was very difficult and I often have to fight the urge to drop out. I know I am capable, but that's the issue. Most of it is so simple that I can barely bother and get B's and also I am not sure that I care about having a degree or not. I know it's the burnout talking and maybe I'll change my mind once I have had more than a month without school. I haven't had that since the summer before my senior year of high school and I'm a junior in college now. It's ridiculous! But it's summer and I plan on focusing on happy things now. I'm out of the dorm and back to the house and I just need to go through things before I drive the majority over to the storage unit since I don't really need it until the fall.
On a less happy note, I don't remember if I mentioned it, but my grandpa died of brain cancer last summer and my mom is now fighting breast cancer. My grandma is staying down here until fall to help out so that we can all work as much as possible and my little sister will be taken care of. I'll be working full-time except for one or two weeks off and during the first month or so also studying for my CLEP Algebra exam. If I pass it, I won't have to take a single math class in college. In a way that's disappointing since that's an easier kind of work than my lit classes. It's more straightforeward and there is an answer even if it's vague while in literature... well I'll go into that more another time. I hope that my friends will be home part of the summer from their various colleges so that I can see them (*hint, hint*)!
