amezriIt's not really officially my birthday until tomorrow, but this weekend was certainly in keeping with the "my father will cause 'issues' during my birthday" tradition. The only sort of bright spot was when we had dinner at the Ocean Palace, but even that was marred by my father giving my brother a hard time.
Friday night we found out that my grandmother, who had serious treatment for uterine cancer last year, has another tumor growing in her intestine. She was totally fine when she went in for a check-up in April, and now this? What the frell kind of medicine are those doctors practicing? (No, I know it's not really their fault). I'm just so.. ARGH. Modern medicine my ass. Someone has cancer - let's cut it out, maybe take some organs with it, then - hey - let's nuke the patient. Dammit, people! We have the technology to clone people, but we still can't cure dis-eases like this. It just makes me so mad. Why is it that the good people always get sick and die first while the assholes of the world stick around forever to torture everyone around them?
My mom's going to Taiwan in two weeks to be with my grandparents. I really hope I'm not going to have to go. I've wanted to go to Taiwan for the last three years, but not under these conditions. She is seriously distraught (though you really couldn't tell by looking at her) and of course my father has to add to the situation. Giving her the third degree and just generally being an arsehole. Oddly enough, he did apologize for giving her grief Saturday morning. I think maybe he was trying to be um.. less of a jerk. I suppose he should get points for effort. Too bad he's way deep in the negative.
On a self-absorbed note - I hate Pre-Calc. I had to fork over $80 for a stupid graphing calculator that I have no idea how to use and will probably never use again after this class. I'm also going to have to re-learn a whole year's worth of College Algebra, 'cause I can't remember anything I learned senior year of high school and now, apparently, I need to know ALL of it. *grr*
Oh yeah, September's going to be a great month.
