When it rains, it pours...

I talked to my mom today and it has been confirmed that my aunt's cancer is out of remission. She had cancer on her pancreas in late summer/early fall of 2003. Fortunately, she was able to go to May clinic where the doctors removed it surgically. Now, after two completely clean checkups, it's back. If that wasn't enough, she's waiting for mamogram results because she might have breast cancer as well. It couldn't have come at a worse time for my family. Her husband's daughter is expecting a baby this summer and my cousin is graduating from high school (the last one of the grandkids) and his sister is planning a wedding for June. If things weren't emotional enough and stressful enough with plans, now we all have to figure out how to deal with the pain and concern of cancer.

This week has been incredibly busy. Tomorrow morning at 11am, my ERP group has a deliverable due. We're doing okay on it in terms of getting things done, but I don't know what the professor is going to think of the result. No matter what happens, our class can't seem to satisfy him. There is also a computer science assignment due (another bomb that needs diffusing) on Friday. Just once it would be nice to say that there's nothing that needs to be done...nothing I could be working on.

If that wasn't enough, just when I thought that next week was going to be less hassle, we have a software engineering quiz, a computer science quiz and a business test (yes, I know it's techincally a quiz...but quizzes aren't 10 pages long!) next week. Why can't JDE just leave us alone for once?

My friend Meagan and I have determined that the sophomore year is the worst year of the program and regardless of the class, the sohpomores will always be the most bitter out of all the students. One would think that JDE would try to help the situation, but instead, they add another class to 2nd semester sophomore year, creating even MORE work for all of us.

I've officially hit information and emotional overload.
