Okay, so like... death sucks, and people suck, and I am a very frustrated, upset individual at the moment.

My liberal feminist government teacher will only let me choose a problem to research and write papers on for this semester according to what she believes is a problem.  Example: I want to do abortion as my semester problem.  She says "Abortion is not a problem.  It is a solution."  Uh... yeah, okay.  Killing off a few million babies every year is our solution to everything  People anger me.  Grrr

And my aunt is in the hospital  and the doctors have basically given up on her and are, essentially, killing her off.  No one knows how much longer she'll be around (how long can a person exist on 15 oz of liquid per day?).  Again, people anger me

So... people suck, death sucks, and life sucks at the moment.  But, as Point of Grace sings, "better days are on their way".  Hopefully sooner than later.

I just came back from a performance with several other select choirs in the area.  They all were wonderful... I'm pretty sure we did well, too. 

Anyway I got a card from my uncle and grandma today.  The card was funny but what they wrote was funnier.  They wrote a bunch of blah-blah and then at the end they wrote "Enjoy your last days of freedom while you can because after you graduate you are a slave of the government."  Hehehe it was great - made me laugh

Another funny thing... at the concert, after we warmed up and before we performed, I was talking with my friends.  One of my friends (Josh) scheisted a program from someone and I didn't know how he did it and I wanted one.  So I asked him how he had one and why I didn't, and he said "You don't have one because Jesus doesn't love you."  So I tried to pretend to be mad, but I just laughed and then my other friend (Courtney) said "What do you mean Jesus doesn't love her??  I bet Jesus loves her more than He loves you!"  And then Josh said "Oh, I know.  Jesus would take a bullet for her," to which I replied "Take a bullet for me?!  He was already crucified for me!"  Hehehe and it was funny and we laughed   I love my friends

Tired... exhausted... need to go to bed.  Nothing profound tonight... I just need my bed.  I hear it calling me... yep, there it is again.  Good night.

I feel so helpless.  My choir director lost his father and... what is there I can do for him?  I know prayer is the most powerful thing in the world, and still... I just feel like it's not enough, ya know?  He's been there for me for EVERYTHING... and what can I give back?  How can I repay him?  I can't.  My mom drove two of my friends and my little brother and I out to the wake tonight so we could be there for our director.  He appreciated it SO much - he wasn't just saying it, either.  And then he started crying... it was hard to see him cry - it made me want to cry, too.  My one friend DID cry.  This was the first wake she had been too - only for this particular teacher would she do that.  She's had family members die... but she hates wakes so she'd never go.  But she went for this one.  She's so great.  And she went because our choir director is SO wonderful.  We absolutely adore him.  But even going to the wake, writing cards and letters, sending flowers... what is there to do that's going to help?  It's not even enough.  The hugs and all of that... it's just not enough.  So that's me tonight.  I feel kind of helpless.  But I'll probably write him a long letter tonight and leave it on his desk for him to read Monday morning (he plans on being back on Monday).  His whole family was there, though, of course, and I know he LOVED that - their whole family is very tight-knit.  I just wish I could do some more for him, you know?  I wish people just didn't have to die.  Once again, I wish I could rescue the world.

Today was better - a LOT better - than Monday.  Yesterday was better than Monday, too.  I had my school schedule changed lierally 4 times in 2 days but hey... as long as it makes me  I AM happy now.  I don't get early dismissal but it's worth it because I'm with people I like.  Anyway, for now I want to just talk about my friend, Greg.  He's going into the Air Force next year.  I am SSOOOOO proud of him.  It's an honor for me to know someone who's going to be protecting our country.  He's excited about it, but he also knows it's a huge step for him.  He deserves every bit of the respect and honor he's going to receive.  Heck, he's already receiving it from me and my friend Danielle.  It takes a brave man to join the Air Force, particularly in the time we're in... and he's doing it.  He's going to be protecting us for a few years in the USAF.  After that he's going to be part of the Pararescue team in the Air Force.  He deserves so much respect for his honor and loyalty to our nation.  It's not because he can't go to college.  It's not because he's not smart enough - he's very intelligent.  He just wants to protect us and serve his country.  So mad props to Greg.  You go, dude.

To those of you who were praying for my choir director and his family... his father died last night.  He's at peace about it, though.  He got some time with his father just before he died to straighten things out to be sure he was going to Heaven.  His father was saved so while he's grieving, he also knows it's a time of celebration because his dad's in a better place now.  His first concern was for his mother (she's still alive).  Even just talking to him on Monday... that was one of the first things he said when he asked me and my friend Jess to pray.  He was concerned for his mom.  He's so great.  So if you all could just pray for his family now, I would way appreciate it, and I know he would, too.  Muchos gracias.
