The fourth Civilization

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. It's not that I don't think about my blog, in fact, few things couldn't be farther from the truth. It's just that I sit down to a computer, all ready to start typing about my life, pull up my blog, then just.... lose it. What little energy my fingers had to begin typing leaves, and I end up staring at a blank screen. And then the next day comes, and I think about how I didn't post, sit down to a computer, and the whole evil cycle starts over again.

My grandmother isn't doing too well. She was on Chemo, until she got hit with pneumonia. That left her too weak for chemo, so they had to take her off of it. Now, she weighs a total of 95 pounds. My mom is afriad that we might have be going back up to Wisconsin earlier than we believed...

I don't want anything to happen to my grandmother. I want her to still be around to see me graduate from college, or at least long enough to see my sisters graduate from High School. Considering that they're seniors, is that too much to ask for? But like most people, I want her to live for selfish reasons. I want her to live because it would be too painfull on my family for her not to. I want her to live so I can see her and grandpa pull into our driveway again after 2 days of driving. I want her to live so life can be the same as it always was, and I could go to sleep knowing that I had grandparents who loved me. Same thing with my grandfather, except I know he still has a while to go. Although he's 84, he is the healthiest person I know. I, 19 years old, am in worse health than he is. Not a day goes by that a violent cough doesn't seize me, and that's probaly not healthy.

Picked up a few new books since I last wrote. One is Johnathen Strange and Mr. Norrel. So far that book hasn't disappointed me. It's about 18th centuary England, and magic in the country. I also picked up Web of Archanos.Haven't started reading it yet, but I believe NCSoft needed more money, so... Finally, I picked up Foundation's Edge. Written by Asimov, I know it will be an excellent book. If one hasn't read anything by Isac Asimov, and one enjoys Sci-Fi, I suggest one goes down to their local bookstore and purchases either his I-Robot book, or the first book in his Foundation novels. And no, I-Robot is nothing like the crappy movie.

Had to replace my stupid Wireless adapter. I came home one night, and there it was, lying on my fllor , shattered into a million (or two...) pieces. So I replaced it with a 802.11G adaptor (as opposed to the 802.11B one I had), and I plan on replacing our router with a G version as well. Why G? It's about 5 times faster. Hopefully that will help my internet conection.

I got Will's new, government E-Mail address!! =). We've kind of been sending emails back and forth. Haven't given him my blog address yet, and I know he doesn't have time to read it (he barely has time to send one email a week.)

Anyway, I have some math that needs to be finished, along with some new books that need to be read, so... night!
