So my Grandad has cancer.... We've known since the start of the year, and he's been getting chemo, but this week we found out that he wasn't going to make it to Christmas. We knew that he wasn't going to survive it, but we were kind of expecting.... or hoping i guess, that he'd at least make it until next year, and then we learn that he's going to be on onxygen from now on, and he's really puffy because the cancer has spread to his liver, and now his liver is pretty much buggered.

I am so scared. I cannot imagine things without my grandad. And because I was expecting next year when they were talking about time frames at the start of the year, I am not prepared for such a small time. I have no idea how to handle any of it.

So lately I've been thinking a lot about University and where I'm going to go and what I'm going to do. We went to a Career's Expo where 7 of the 9 Uni's in Queensland had little Expo's. I decided that I'd love to go down South, like go to Brisbane or somewhere for Uni. but the only issue with that is that I live in North Queensland, and the issue would be getting from NQ to the bottom of the State. But, I've decided that I would love to go to Bond University if I decide to do something that is offered at that University. But, I'm even more confused about what I'm going to do..... RRAAAHHH!!!!! But, Bond looks like the nicest campus to be at, the accommodation is the cheapest, and its only 20 years old this year! But my parents want me to go somewhere that's closer to home, but I just want to get the hell out of here. I want to get as far away from here as I possibly can, which going to the Gold Coast seems like a really good idea. But its so hard to try and get through to my parents.

What do you guys think of Uni? Has anyone been to a Uni in QLD, or even Bond Uni? I need all the information I can get to make up my mind and stop stressing! And, in your opinion, how much money do you think is a good amount to go to Uni with?

Sorry its been a while... I meant to upload these pictures the second I got home from Brisbane, but time just got away from me.... I had a bunch of school stuff to do, and then I had work experience. But I'll talk about those after the concert pictures!!

So last week I went with the instrumental music teacher, and it was really interesting. The only thing is is that you can't really get u the kids for not practicing, because otherwise they'll quit on you, and then your numbers godown. And where I live, we can't afford for the numbers to go down, because otherwise Education Queensland will can the program in my area, and I don't want that to happen, and the music teacher doesn't want that to happen, so he's just gotta try and nudge them into practicing, which is really difficult to do. Also, you don't have much support from the parents, which is SO ANNOYING, because kids just say that they want to quit, and parents are just like, 'Whatever', which is bullsh!t! If I were the parent, then I would tell them that they had to keep doing it until the end of the year, and make sure that they practiced on a regular basis UNTIL the end of the year!

Also, something happened (Nothing bad, just upsetting), and I'm not really sure if I'm ready to talk about it. Its really upsetting me, but I don't really want to talk about it just yet because I feel like the world's biggest loser. So just when if I do end up blogging about it, then I just want to know that you guys aren't going to judge me for it. Like I said, nothing bad, just something upsetting.
