Did everything just taste purple?

Well, it's definitely November. The air is crisp, the leaves are changing colors, and the bad news keeps coming. It's been a while since I've posted anything new. This year has been quite a year. My sister got married, the Red Sox won the World Series, I changed my major...although all of those things were wonderful and definitely for the best, November reared it's ugly head and here we are again.

My uncle, Claude, passed away last Saturday night. He had been battling cancer for some time now and it finally took over. I went home last Satuday after class and I got to talk to him for a little while. Then, around 11 p.m. he took a turn for the worst and that was it. It was really hard to see him like that. I hated seeing him in so much pain, but it was still really hard to let him go. What really made it hard was that he reminded me so much of my dad. at one time, they looked almost identical.

I got back into town yesterday around 11:15 a.m. Everything was back to business as usual. It's strange to only go to two classes this week, of course, I'll go to class tomorrow as well. Although this two day thing did make me study, lol. I got all of my homework done last night, which was a challenge considering I was studying with Kamilah. She cracks me up. I guess I crashed around midnight or so.

This week had some good things about it. I got to see my family, who I hadn't seen in months. It was good to get away from Norman, although the reason was completely horrible. My family is great. I love my dad's family. They like everyone--pretty much. I know I used to be like that and now I've become a lot more judgemental. Although this year, I have learned a lot from that. I just need to be more careful in whom I form friendships with. Putting too much trust in someone can be detrimental in every possible way. But not trusting someone because of preconceived notions is just as bad. Wow, that was kind of a tangent.

I truly wish I had more to say right now, but for the life of me, that's all that's on my mind. Well, 'til next time...
