Cabcere's Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day

[Cabcere]

OK, so I'm shamelessly trolling for hugs/sympathy/good vibes here - today is not going well for me at all, and I really need to just vent. Feel free to disregard if you want.

Reasons why today sucks for me:
1) It's been one month since my friend's funeral, and I realized that he would have been 19 1/2 today. He's never been out of my thoughts since his death, but today it's especially bad. :cry:
2) Last night I talked to my mom on the phone, and she told me that the doctors think she may have thyroid cancer. She says it shouldn't be too bad - they're not 100% sure it's cancerous, but they're most likely going to remove her thyroid just to be on the safe side. She sounded pretty upbeat and calm about it, and she told me not to worry, but I can't help it - I don't want her to have to go through that again (she's never been diagnosed with cancer before, but a few years ago we had a scare when her mammogram revealed an anomaly in one of her breasts. It turned out not to be anything serious, but the waiting and anxiety was rough on all of us).
3) Also last night, I had to miss my weekly honor fraternity meeting to attend a movie showing for one of my classes. Because it was for a class, it was an excused absence, but apparently they decided that since I wasn't there it would be okay to "volunteer" me as a delegate to the regional conference. So after I got off the phone with my mom, who just told me the news about her possible thyroid cancer, I received an email from one of the committee members saying that I was going to be attending the regional conference. It was bad enough that I had no say in this and someone volunteered me for it without even consulting me, but the fact that this conference takes up an entire weekend in April (when I happen to be very busy with other things) AND costs money made it even worse. x(
4) I have a three-hour-long class to go to in about 20 minutes, for which I was supposed to read an entire textbook (the professor told us this maybe four days ago), and for which I am definitely not ready. Then, after that class is over, I have to come back to my dorm and complete my take-home midterm for another class - three essays, six pages, and it's due tomorrow morning.

So basically, I'm stressed out and upset, and just wanted to rant about it...sorry for being Debbie Downer, lol, and thanks for putting up with me. Peace.
