This has been one disaster-filled semester. Take-home paper tragedies and the torture of wearing braces aside; i'm talking about real, personal disasters here.
First, the issue with my sister. Shan't say too much.
Second, when i finally get over my take-home papers and crawl into the study break, my grandfather passes away. (Oops, i let the cat out of the bag. But i still don't intend to say anymore on this issue).
And now, just 2 days after my grandfather's cremation, my aunt - a very close aunt to our family, i might add - has been admitted to hospital for what is very likely lung cancer. I can't even spare much time to visit her since my exams aren't over yet, and i'm hopelessly behind schedule in my studies thanks to the wake and my usual slowness. This has been such a horrible semester period.
Why oh why did did she come down with such an ailment when she doesn't even smoke or work in the mines or whatever? This is truly horrible. I don't really have a God to pray to, since i believe, with the least of conviction - and unless proven otherwise - that our God is at most just a passive Creator who won't listen to our pleas. But i do sincerely pray to whatever may be out there for my aunt to only be suffering from something less minor than cancer. And if it has to be cancer, please let it only be benign and not malignant, so that she has a chance to live a good, long life.
