The rest of the students in my class are freaked out too. I am thrilled. Sometimes it is wonderful to suffer as a group instead of suffering alone. Sharing the pain makes it less intense? Who knows.

I tried to call my sister but she was out and I was stuck talking to her groom. He pretty much sounded patronizing. I'm wondering if he has always been that way or if I'm just now noticing because I accidentally talk to him more when I call the house for her (now that they are married and living together -- oh, and now that I'm actually making the effort to rise above my irritation and call her). Anyway, I tried to be social and ask him how he was and he pretty much shut me down like I was a little kid wasting the time of a grown up. Hmmm! Mental note -- keep an eye on John, he might be an ass vs. just kinda boring. Granted he may be irritated with me since my sister is bound to be poisoning his mind in regards to me (since she is plotting on the whole ring thing previously posted about -- don't want to beat a dead horse, it's a pretty recent rant in the 1/26 post).

So.... we shall see! My mother inlaw is scheduled for her rescheduled surgery on Monday. I hope for her sake that this goes well. She has really tried to be more caring and nicer since I lost my mom. She has also appreciated me more these last few years (I've been there for her during her illnesses). I no longer refer to her as Satan. This is great progress! Anyway, I'm hoping she does well.

Off to study for Linguistics!!!
