Hey Mom,

I miss you.

It's been rough lately. I keep skipping out on work and classes. Sometimes by choice, sometimes by accident. I'm not doing well in any of my classes. I have all C's right now. In terms of my GPA, my saving graces are my advanced makeup class, my theatre practicum (assistant directing) and a couple final tests/papers that will be done in the upcoming weeks.

I am going home this weekend. It will be sad to know you won't be there, but I'll come and visit you. Dad has gone off the deep end. He's being scammed, sending thousands of dollars to some 'woman in ecuador". Jimmy won't stay at home- which is an improvement but he won't move into his apartment, he just keeps staying over at other people's apartments: Emma's, Lauren's, probably the Stanek's as well. It's really disappointing.

Emma keeps herself busy and tries not to associate with that kind of negative energy. which I understand, to a point, but as a minister-to-be, I feel like she should try to be more compassionate.

Dan is starting to put up some red flags. He bought a brand new car because he wouldn't clean up a cheese spill in his crappy car. He is very wasteful, and would rather throw something out then repurpose it or donate it if it inconveniences him. He's also been kind of insensitive to my feelings about your death. I yelled at him for that. and i'm hoping that changes his attitudes. If it doesn't, then he is G-O-N-E.
