What has been happening in the last 6 weeks.

Well, I have been learning a lot about writing an argumentative paper, and studying anatomy and physiology. I love going to school and learning, and I think the greatest part is I will be able to use what I learn in the work place. I remember when I was young and going to school I always wondered why we had to learn the things we were learning we would never use them in the real world. Boy, how wrong was that kind of  thinking. I learned a couple of weeks ago that my brother has cancer of the prostrate, according to the doctor's, I guess if you are going to have cancer, (prostrate) cancer is the one to get, because it is treatable. My brothers wife passed away 2 years ago from thyroid cancer it was a rare form only 10 cases in the world and she was case #10. So it was a little difficult to hear that he has cancer now. So we are dealing with that and the doctors think that everything is going to be alright. I am also trying very hard to keep up my grade point average, I never thought that would be important to me. I am also learning a lot about alcoholism and I think the more I learn about it the more I feel in control of my life. It is a hard essay to write, because it is really close to home for me being an alcoholic and all.
