I haven't been around much because of school, and things were generally fine. Regular life stressors. Yall know the deal.
This week, we found out my grandma (whom I call mom, as she raised me my entire life) has stage 3 breast cancer. She's getting treatment and her oncologist says things look okay for now, but until she goes for a PET scan, we won't know for sure. (They have to make sure there isn't any cancer anywhere else in her body, because then things change.)
I've already told my professors, my boyfriend, and my roommates. But please, guys, if you pray, whatever you do--keep her in your thoughts. (Her name's Barbara, if it matters.) We're all pretty much scared sh*tless, which is understandable given the situation. Thankfully, we have a great support system, between nearby family and all my friends and their families.
I'll know more next week, and I'll try to post an update. The hard part is waiting. Waiting for the scan, waiting for the surgery. Guess I'll have to learn to live off coffee and spite like my college ancestors before me.

I'm going on a social media hiatus for a while, for those of you that are subject to my endless tumblr nonsense. I'll check here periodically to give updates and answer messages, but if you write me and don't get a response, please forgive me. It's about to get really rough.
