I'm missing out on all the amazing things happening to people I used to be so close too, but because I broke up with a mutual friend, or am not friends with the person who introduced us, they have cut out all communication or I have somehow just put them on the back burner. I understand that with a few, I broke up with someone who I was with forever and a day, and I did cut ties with some of them but I never cut ties with this person. She had been nothing but good and kind to me. She is now pregnant with her first child with her husband and I don't get to tell her congrats or send her baby gifts or anything. That one is partially my fault, but still. It goes both ways.
I guess today just isn't the day for my emotions. I don't know why, and no I'm not pregnant people, I'm sure that has gone through a few of your minds reading this. It's just I have been so stressed out by all the homework and schoolwork from this semester that now since It's winding down, all my emotions are catching up to me. If this is how its going to be after every semester, I don't think I am going to be able to handle this. I am only at the Junior College level. What is it going to be like at the University level? Ugh. I need to see a therapist or something.

Boston Marathon Bombings
What the fuck is wrong with people in this world? Why would you ever want to bomb such a thing as the Boston Marathon? You are sick in the fucking head. Thank god this morning they caught your ass; well at least one of you, if there is more than one. I hope you rot in jail and get the shit beat out of you everyday. You killed 3 innocent people, one being an 8 year old boy. You injured almost 200 people. I hope your happy with yourself. DOUCHEFUCK!
With thousands of runners still on the course, two bombs exploded near the finish line of the Boston Marathon on Monday, killing three people, injuring at least 113 and turning the city’s most celebrated event into a grisly spectacle of shattered glass, blood and screams.
President Barack Obama said authorities did not know who carried out the attack but vowed to render “the full weight of justice” against those responsible. Minutes later, law enforcement officials said that an 8-year-old child was one of the dead.
Video from the scene showed two blasts about 20 seconds apart just off the course at the finish. White smoke rose, barriers flew, and throngs of people who had gathered to cheer the runners turned and fled in terror. They later reported seeing horrific injuries that included blown-off limbs and bodies thrown to the asphalt.
“All the sudden there was a massive boom. There was a sort of concussive blow that pushed a lot of people back. I could see runners falling in front of me,” said Dave Abel, a reporter for The Boston Globe who was about 10 feet from one of the explosions.
“When the smoke started to clear, I could see lots of bodies,” he said. “I could see one woman staring vacantly into the sky. I could see a lot of mangled limbs, a lot of blood and shattered glass. It was probably the most horrific thing I’ve ever seen.”
Larissa Brinkley, who came from Pennsylvania to run the race, said people dropped everything and ran the opposite way. Other witnesses described what at first sounded like a cannon blast or fireworks.
“Then it went off again. And then all of a sudden we heard people crying and running away,” said Serghino Rene, who was a few blocks away. “It was a huge horde of people just running away.”
The FBI took control of the investigation through its multiagency Joint Terrorism Task Force.
As he announced the death toll had risen to three, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis said authorities "will turn every rock over" to find out who is responsible.
"There is no suspect," he said. "There are people we are talking to."
Earlier, federal officials told NBC News that Boston police were guarding a “possible suspect” who had been wounded in the blasts, but they cautioned that there was no information at the federal level to consider that person a suspect.
A third, undetonated device was found near the finish line, a House Homeland Security Committee official and three law enforcement officials told NBC News. Authorities also reported an explosion at the John F. Kennedy presidential library, elsewhere in the city, more than an hour after the blasts, but police said that it appeared to be caused by a fire. The police commissioner urged people to stay inside.
Law enforcement officials later revealed that each of two confirmed explosives contained BBs or ball bearings, which functioned as shrapnel in the bombs.
In addition, police issued be-on-the-lookout alerts: one for a man seen leaving the blast scene in dark clothing and a hood and another for a rental truck seen attempting to enter then area near the finish line.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said the city of Boston would be open Tuesday but warned, "It will not be business as usual." He said security would be tight and Bostonians should remain vigilant.
"We're gonna get through this," Patrick said.
Hospitals reported that at least two children were among the injured. Dr. Alisdair Conn, chief of emergency medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital, characterized the wounds as something Americans are more accustomed to seeing on the news from a military-style bombing in Iraq or Israel.
“We still do not know who did this or why, and people shouldn’t jump to conclusions before we have all the facts, but make no mistake, we will get to the bottom of this,” Obama said from the White House several hours after the blasts. “Any responsible individuals, any responsible groups will feel the full weight of justice.”
He pledged the full help of the federal government and said: “The American people will say a prayer for Boston tonight.”
Suspicious packages were found after the blasts at three Boston subway stops, and authorities were investigating. New York police deployed extra security to landmarks, Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House was closed to foot traffic, and the Pentagon tightened security. Federal authorities briefly grounded flights at the Boston airport as a precaution.
The race is a signature event in Boston and has been run since 1897 on Patriots Day, the third Monday in April. Tens of thousands of spectators turn out each year to watch.
Race organizers said that almost 27,000 runners competed, representing 96 countries. The winners were Lelisa Desisa of Ethiopia for the men and Rita Jeptoo of Kenya for the women. A special marker at the 26th mile of the course, yards from the finish, had been set up to honor the 26 dead in the Newtown, Conn., elementary school shooting last December.
The elite men began running at 10 a.m., and the explosions were reported just before 3 p.m. The winners had long ago completed the race — Desisa finished with a time of just over 2 hours, 10 minutes — but the explosions came as masses of other runners were approaching the finish. NBC affiliate WHDH said that storefront windows nearby were blown out.
“Right now I’m in my condo with about 50-60 people I picked up off the street including marathon runners. Setting up a camp,” Corey Griffin told NBC News. “They have nowhere to go because everything is shut down. Officials said to get inside. This is crazy.”
Evan Kohlmann, a terrorism analyst for NBC News, said that authorities would probably examine residue from the blasts to determine their type.
Adding that it was premature to identify a culprit, he said: “If this was a deliberate act, unfortunately it certainly would reflect something that we’re seeing. There’s an emphasis on these soft-targeted attacks now.
We’re moving away from the spectacular attacks and we’re moving into the small-grade, homegrown attacks.”
Will Ritter, spokesman for Massachusetts Senate candidate Gabriel Gomez, who was running the race, told NBC News that he heard what sounded like two explosions and saw smoke rising near the Boston Public Library. He said that he saw three fire engines and police running to the site.
“We heard two really large explosions in rapid succession, about a second apart from each other,” Ritter said. “Everybody kind of ducked and hit the ground.”
The AP reported that runners and race organizers were crying as they fled the scene, and that bloody spectators were carried to medical tents intended for exhausted runners. Runners who were still on the 26.2-mile course were being stopped and directed elsewhere, the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency said. The agency suggested that people trying to reach loved ones use text messaging because of crowded phone lines.
Authorities gave a phone number for people in search of loved ones — 617-635-4520. They encouraged people with information about the blasts to call 1-800-494-TIPS.

Summer Semester
I think I might be biting off more than I can chew for this lovely upcoming Summer Semester. I am up for 9 units. English, History and my last Geography class. The summer classes down here are totally different from the ones I am used too. I'm used to going to classes all semester, down here they are broken down. Some are only a month, some are 5 weeks and some are 8 week. Some are also all semester. It's just so weird. We shall see how this turns out. I am so ready to be done with school. Why did I have to procrastinate so much right out of high school?

Long Post Needed
And well here it is. Where to begin...
Well the semester is almost over. Have about a month left. It's been a crazy semester. Lots of homework in History. He seems to be on the ball but the only thing I don't like about this class is the fact that he grades on a curve. Blows huge monkey balls. My Geography class is a huge disappointment. We are so behind because there are just some people that don't comprehend the fact that when you write an in class essay you have to write an introduction and conclusion; not just answer the questions. I'm not quite sure what my grade will be in that class, I'm shooting for a 'B' of some kind. My history class because everything is graded on a curve, I'm sure I will probably get an 'A'. I'm planning on taking my other Geography class and an English class. We will see how it goes.
Grandma hasn't been doing well lately. She was working one day and got such as back pain that she had to go to the emergency room. That turned into a one week stint in the hospital. She should of gone home after a couple of days but they didn't give her the heart medication she takes everyday and her heart got all out of whack. So that kept her in for another 4 days. So when she was released, she spent a week at my uncle's house. She is home now. She has done some physical therapy to help with her back. They think its sciatica. She is going to countless DR.'s appointments and on umpteen medications. She went in for a stress test today and only got a quarter of the way through. She had an anxiety attack. They told her that it was going to be completely different then what it was and she freaked out. The cardiologist nurse told her that her DR. should not of had her come in so soon. She should be feeling back to normal and eating right before attempting this. She told my grandma that when she feels back to normal to call her and they will get her in.
Me in general... Still have no job. I am stressed out because of school and things going on with grandma. Last weekend, I broke my foot. Cracked the top of my foot on the edge of a bed that was in pieces in the hallway. So no exercising for 3 weeks. Damn. I was just getting into the swing of walking everyday, and eating better. Guess not. Ugh. When things start getting good, something always brings it back down. Oh well. I guess I will never be skinny. I'm still not talking to my cousin and frankly things are better then before. She has a lot of drama and she wants to blame everyone else for her problems. It's sad when friends that I have met through her don't even talk to her anymore because of it. That shows me that it's not me who's the problem, it's her.
Oh... I've got another niece/nephew on the way. AMY IS PREGNANT!!! I'm super excited. They should find out hopefully this Saturday if Baby Eudy is a girl or a boy. Seeing Amy's track record, I'm going for a girl! I so have dibs on godmomma!!!

Sorry For The Absence
Sorry it's been a while since I have blogged. A lot has been going on. Lets see.. Grandma was in the hospital for a week with diverticulitis, and heart issues. She is home now and slowly getting back to normal. So most of my time goes to worrying about her. Um... School is taking up some time. Winding down. Semester is almost over. My big project of the year is done and turned in. Last weekend, I cracked the top of my foot, so I'm taking it slow. No exercise of any kind. I hope I don't put too much weight back on. But on bigger news, to go from a post a few back, Chris' sister's friend has MOVED OUT!!! Thank fucking god. Shit is so much better.
