THIS WAS WRITTEN ON NEW YEAR"S EVE!!!

The past few weeks have been horrible.

1. The first alarms went off in the house while my family was on vacation so the firemen had to break into the house. We have to get the dry wall fixed, buy a new door, and we just replaced all of the firealarms.
   
2. My dad was sick for Christmas and the 26th. I did not even see him on Christmas because he stayed at his mom's house while I was with my other grandparents.
3. Today my 12-year-old sister found out she has strep throat and my 6-year-old sister has staph all through out her body. They think it might be the resistant strain. It also turns out that my dad has strep.
   
4. Today is my brother's 18th birthday and we were going to have a huge party at our house (like we do every year), but now we have to move the party to his friend's house. My sister with staph thinks the whole thing is her fault (it kind of is) and has been crying since she got back from the doctor's office.

On top of that, my dad refuses to go to the doctor to get a percreption. If he doesn't, it is just a short time before the rest of the family falls ill. I also have a splitting headache and I think that I may be coming down with streph too. The last day of the year has been horrible so far. I hope this is not an omen for what is to come next year.

Tueday, the day after Monday but before Wednesday

When I got to school today, I noticed everyone was wearing red and some people even had red duct tape over their mouths. I eventually found out that it is National Pro-Life day. At least that is what the kids at school told me...
I also went to the doctor this morning during first period. I got the flu shot and the 2nd HPV shot. the HPV shot hurt so bad. I could feel the pain traveling down my arm all the way down into my fingertips. It felt like someone was slowly pulling off my fingernails, but leaving the very end of the nail connecting to the skin so everytime I touched anything with that hand, my hands hurt all over again. Luckly that only lasted for an hour or so.
I got an e-mail from a website that I had submitted an essay to for a scholarship. I only made quater-finalist, but I am so proud of myself. A link to my essay is here. I think it could only be 500 words. I didn't even think my essay would get all the way to quater-finalist. I am so proud.

Talk Later,

P.S. This week is Red Ribbon Week!! "Drugs are bunk."
