Not a Great Day...

Yesterday was something of a downer.

First, I went to my advising appointment with my advisor. (Sounds redundant, eh?) She advised me to get counseling, because she feels I'm depressed, (which I don't feel at all and don't exhibit any of the symptoms, but I probably need to see one for other issues, so I'll go) and also advised me to look at other majors. I was already thinking of this, but this just put a cap on things.

Then I heard from one of my friends, and several of my friends didn't pass their proficiency. One was told that they didn't think she had what it took and they suggested she look at other majors. She was crushed.

Then, for the kicker, I got some bad news. On Sunday I'd tried to call my last remaining grandparent, my maternal grandmother, to wish her a happy mother's day. Her phone was disconnected. So I emailed my cousin to find out if she'd moved. She had -- to the cemetary, las February. I know I've been out of touch for a while, but still, they had my number, and I was trying to get better about establishing contact. This hurt, and it hurt more than I thought it would.

Let's hope today is better.

Oh dear. I am so sorry about your grandmother. I don't know what I would do if someone died in my family and nobody told me. That's so unfair. Is she buried somewhere close?

Here's something that might cheer you up. I saw a story on the news the other night that made me think of you. This is about a woman using art and music therapy to rehabilitate homeless people. This link is to a video, so you should be able to hear the whole story.

Can't access it -- I have to disable Flash or I'd go nuts with the crazy things it does to screen readers.

I'va also been trying to get a hold of Cyn, but she's got her mailbox full on her phone.

Well, maybe you could get one of your roommates to play it for your so you can hear the story. Do you have a MySpace account? That's the only way I've been able to get a hold of Cyn, but I haven't talked to her in months.
