Ggraduation is less than 50 days away, and that is counting weekends. I've decided now would be as good of a time as any to reflect on this school year...
Here it goes:
Started out well! My own car, and all that jazz
then I almost died
was diagnosed with type I diabetes
BUT!
I didn't in fact die *polish that silver lining!*
With the combo of the dying, diabetes, and leaving the house, my mom has been a total nut job sporadically throughout the year...
but I still love her
this has been the most challenging year of my life,
but it's also been the most rewarding.
(I've totally ignored all grammar and syntax rules in this post sorry)
I've learned a lot about myself
both good and bad
I've worked so hard
and sometimes it wasn't enough
and sometimes it wasn't worth it
but usually it was
MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL!
for all of it's crap..
for all of it's stress...
for all of it's challenges...
This has been my best year so far.
I just want to say again that I almost died...my life didn't flash before my eyes, there was no real pain, there was no time to reflect on my life, there were no regrets, in fact, I really had no idea what was going on. After the fact though, after I was out of the hospital, after I saw how freaked out everyone was, I freaked out.
In three words: Holy shit Batman!!!
Death!
DUDE!
I'm only seventeen!
Death was never even close to being on my radar!
but now it's my life.
I fight everyday to stay alive...for me living doesn't just happen, it's a conscious decision. Living is a voluntary action. I'm trying really hard to convey my message, but it's not really anything you can say with words. I know there are people out there who know what I mean...
Everyday...
Every single day...
I try not to think about it to much; you don't see any other diabetics out there complaining.
I'll suck it up, but it's all still so new.
Oh and it is ASTONISHING how little people know about diabetes. There is a HUGE difference between type one and type two.
I could go on for pages about how much those misconceptions piss me off, but trust me you don't care that much,
__________
Anyway...
I was supposed to be going to a national competition in a couple of weeks, but apparently the fates are totally against that.
I can't afford to go right now...
I'm bummed, and my team is going to be reaaaaally pissed at me, but honestly...I have my priorities straight, and they aren't at the top of my list...
as much as that sucks, one good thing did come from it...
I GET TO MEET STEPHENIE MEYER!!!!
*frrrrreeeeeaaaaakkkkkksssss oooooouuuuuuuttttttt*
no one understands how obsessed I am...except Laura. She knows. She probably wishes that she didn't.
