Goodmorning World!

Grandma and I had a good visit on Friday. I took a bus to the Pete Gross house and called her to see how the heck I get in. She was thrilled when she answered the phone and told me she was looking right at me. There was a camera right above the door that all the tenants can watch on channel 62 to make sure the person they are buzzing in is really who they say they are! Very neat. So I waved at grandma excitedly, her excitement got me thrilled to be seen, so I blew her a kiss (and everyone else who was tuned into channel 62 as well) as she buzzed me up.
She was really frazzled, trying to organize her insurance information in her binder full of medical papers when I got there. I felt really bad because I know with all the meds they have her on, it’s hard for her to concentrate. She was trying to describe to me how she was feeling, and I just nodded told her it’s okay. That she shouldn’t worry too much about getting it all organized. I went with her on the Shuttle bus that takes her from her Pete Gross house apt 4 blocks away to the Seattle Cancer Care Allegiance clinic so she could drop off her insurance papers, because she’s being given the green light to go home now. So with this week supposedly being her last week, she’s really nervous to go home, after getting so comfortable here and being taken care of. I feel bad, because I feel like she really doesn’t want to be alone in her little beach house in Gig Harbor. But I know she’ll do great. She’s a strong person, and is the most inspirational being that I’ve even met. She will be fine!
So after we returned from the clinic, Max came and swooped us up and took us to Pacific Place for dinner. That was fun, Grandma absolutely loves seeing max and I, and we don’t get together often enough. We talked about my L&I issues for a bit, and then my schooling, and Max’s career and new love of his life. Grandma is really excited to meet Erin, Max’s new Girlfriend who lives in Hawaii and invited her to come to thanksgiving with us at Uncle Bills. Oh me oh my, Max is SO in love with this girl. I’m very happy for him, but skeptical as well, because I’m just worried he’ll get his heart broken somehow.
I have a lot to do this week with respect to school. My group in Rock and Roll History is supposed to be more advanced in a project due in 9 days about Michael Jackson and his influence on the world. It’s an hour long presentation and we haven’t gotten anything done past the outline! I’m sure it won’t be hard to get it done with the time we have left, but that’s only because of the fact that our instructor is lenient and as long as we make sense we will get a good grade. Most of the students in the class speak English as a 2nd language and hardly know how to comprehend the class as a whole.
I’m struggling with my math class. Something about math and I just don’t compute. I was taking an exam last week and I was using a multiplication table to help me save time and energy (the class is 45 minutes and that’s not a lot of time for me to get the exam completed) and a calculator... the instructor told me that I’m not allowed to use these tools(I knew). I was frustrated and told him that I’m slightly dyslexic and have trouble computing problems in my head without help from these tools. He just smiled at me and said, “what if you go to the store and have want to buy 3 cans of soup for $.80 each, how are you going to know how much money you need.” I’m positive this is the dumbest example he could have come up with, and I automatically took a sarcastic tone and told him that each are under a dollar, and if I have at least 3 buck’s I’ll have enough money.. GAHHH! He always has snot dripping down his top lip, out of his hairy nostrils, dripping into his mouth and has a really creepy throaty voice. My math teacher bothers me, needless to say. But to be honest, I’ve had a similar description for all of my past math teachers, If only I could have an extremely attractive math instructor--maybe I’ll be more likely to fill in the gaps and learn how to be better at it. Haha.

OH! And some exciting news! We’re moving into a 2 bedroom next month! I get a room! My own space! SO excited! AHHH

Have a good Monday every one!!
