I think the more i do this blog the MORE i'm getting worse at updating it. Maybe it's just hard to gather my thoughts and maybe it's just hard to sit down and write. I dunno...but i PROMISE i'm going to try and get better at this.
So, last week, i went to Cali for the holiday. It wasn't as bad as i thought it would be. My parents were happy to see that we were still alive, they were kinda worried to find out that we were in Seattle, but when i told them that it was with grandma, my dad was relieved, but i think my mom was worried EVEN more. They also couldn't let us get away without pushing college ONE last time. So, between fireworks and barbaque they gave us the good 'ol "Education is Important" lecture with a subtle "we only want what's best for you at the end". We told them that we would "think" about it, but we weren't going to make any promises. All in All, It was an okay trip and i think we ALL needed it.
When we got back, Grandma was going CRAZY without us. The house was a wreck and there were dirty clothes stacked to the CEILING. It was hard to believe that we had only been gone for 5 days instead of 5 weeks. I guess grandma's getting a little confused with her "double" life. Right now, she not only works for NTAC, but now she's back working at the center. She is working VERY closely with Ms. Tobey. I think they plan to reopen the school. I don't think grandma can keep playing both sides of the fence, i think it's an either "us or them" type of situation. But she doesn't want to lose the power of working for NTAC or the joy she gets from working at the 4400 center. i'm sure it is hard to choose.
As for me, Xay, and Nicole, I decided to take my parents advice for once and i'm enrolling in school for the fall. I'm bring Xay down with me and i think Nicole wants to try college, too. Since Grandma said that we can stay as LONG as we like, as long as we help her around the house and with the "other" thing she wants us to do. So, why not go to school, for once i agree with my parents, Education is important and who knows, i could possibly LIKE school....IMAGINE THAT.
The only thing i'm still worried about is what's gonna happen next, but i guess you can't worry about tomorrow, you just have to live from day to day.

Hey Alex,
Glad to see things worked out with your parents. It was definately a good thing you went- to test the waters and see if things had changed. Glad it turned out to be a positive event.
It's also good that you are going to go back to school. I wish that was something I could have done. Maybe I still can, I don't know. I just know I don't have high hopes for it at the moment with all that's been going on in my own life.
Hope things go well for you and whatever challenges you face, don't run away from them. Trust me, running away is not the answer. Face them head on no matter how difficult they may be.
All the best luck to you.
