Guys you'll never believe this! My final letter grade for the statistics class was an A-. AN A MINUS!

My last college class and I got an A minus! In a math class!

Awesome news, Sarky! You deserve a big celebration!

yes! math is hard but statistics is even more difficult. imo.

stat will always come in handy though.

party.

I might.

The truth is things are kind of uneven over here, but the last couple of days have been uneventful.

My therapist wants me to see her again next Tuesday, and the Tuesday after. She's worried I might be backtracking in my progress, and I actually agree with her.

I've been letting myself get sucked into my brother's moods. I guess I'm not really used to him being back home since I was so busy with school and work. I spent too much money on groceries last week even though I knew my brother wouldn't be able to pay me back half, and on Tuesday evening we had an incredibly nasty argument over things. I think we reached a compromise...

I realized I have yet to ground my expectations of my brother the way I had to with my parents, because I spent more time dealing with them this past year than him because he was at Purchase. How can I expect him to contribute monetary wise when he doesn't have a job, and when he does look for work he doesn't get it? The only money he has goes to medication, or food when he's in the city. Of course things would be easier if he didn't eat everything within two days.

And also, I shouldn't have spent so much on groceries because I realized I only bought so much because it felt like my dad was ashamed of me. He came by on that Thursday because my brother was having one of his moods and said there was nothing to eat, and my dad goes to me "You don't have any food upstairs?" I shouldn't have even been in the house when he came by. I should've recognized the way my brother was and left for a while. But in the end it was like I was putting on a show or something, like I was trying to appease my dad or something. I spoke to him about it yesterday and he said he hadn't meant to sound like that and was sorry if he made me feel that way.

I'm actually ashamed of myself for slipping, especially since this past Tuesday, when I had the argument with my brother over food and responsibilities around the house, was the year mark since my suicide attempt.

Our compromise was that, if he was going to be doing repairs around the house like painting or stuff outside, I'd do grocery shopping. If he could contribute, that's fine, but I'm not spending more than $20 or $30 dollars, and he can't eat everything within a day of my shopping.

...

Other than that, I have to see about when I'm getting my diploma. Also, I might have to speak to the transcript people at Lehman. I checked one of the websites that keeps track of the class requirements and apparently it's now saying one of my natural science requirements isn't fulfilled anymore. I worried a little this morning thinking they might have changed one of the requirements and I would have to take another class in Fall, but then I wondered if they may have changed the class codes. Something else else similar happened last Fall. I didn't get my financial aid on time because they changed SPA 101 to SPA 111 or something and they hadn't updated one of the websites. I looked and sure enough, the ANT 170 course I took two years ago has been converted to ANT 171 in the recent catalogs. I think I may have to talk to the people at Lehman if this will be a hitch or something.

I'm also still trying to decide about that Ramona Fradon commission. I'm going to contact her agent in a few days but I might have to settle for a cheaper piece than the one I originally wanted. I still feel a little peeved that most of my relatives didn't send me anything for graduation except for a great aunt in Florida and my grandpa. Candle actually sent me a great gift a little while ago, and I'm trying not to breeze through it on artwork. There's still the Boston show next month.

Hey guys.

So, lots of stuff have gone done since the last time I commented here.

I think I alienated an artist I like and now I'm trying to fix the situation without coming across like an obsessed stalker, and I kicked my brother out of my life.

Sorry to hearthat, Sarky. Hope things settle down for you soon.

you know, a little obsession can teach you how to really focus, and stalking gets you out in the healthy fresh air. But put them together? "Obsessed Stalker" and suddenly you're a bad person.

Has anyone heard from Candle?

I haven't. I don't think she has posted here in a while.

Ah. I was checking on here because I tried calling her, but there was something wrong with her phone. I wanted to double check on here just in case something was wrong.

I hope you were able to reach her, Sarky. I'm sure she appreciates the concern.

I was, yeah.

Thursday I had a bad anxiety attack and when I tried calling Candace and couldn't get her, it kind of compounded how I was feeling.

I got my diploma from Lehman today. Apparently I graduated Cum Laude.

Congratulations, Sarky.

That's wonderful! Congrats Sarky Graduating cum laude is certainly quite an achievement.

Hey guys, wish me luck on my birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Sarky, and best of luck!

Christmas baby! Happy Birthday!

Happy birthday, SK!

Happy birthday Sarky!

Thanks everybody.

And holy grife everyone, no arguing. My mom and brother weren't down each other's throats this year. It's a miracle.

Many happy belated returns Sarky! I hope you had a great day!

I did, actually.
