All I need now is to wait for my diploma to arrive in the mail in 6 to 8 weeks. Yeah, the University of California takes their time doing this kind of thing.
For now, I'm at my parents' house, helping out until I move into my new place back in Santa Cruz. The main issue I'm dealing with right now is taking over my mom's duties since she left for Boston - she's there with my brother in the hospital. He plays in the elite Cape Cod college baseball summer league. He was pitching a good game, when someone hit a line drive directly into his right eye. It broke his face, and he lost some of his sight. However, it's getting better, he already had one surgery, and the doctor said it went as good as it possibly could have - no torn eye tissue, only a couple scratches, which ointment should fix.
He has another surgery in a couple days to fix the broken bones in his face. But, for the next two weeks, he can't bend over. They only told him this after he was caught walking through the hospital in just his robe, towing his IV stand along with him. A nurse caught him, and his only response for why he was out of his room was that he was bored. I guess nobody had told him not to leave his room...he is an adrenaline-filled 19 year old athlete.
All seems to be getting better. As for me, I got nothing. Hahahahaha...
Cheers,
Matty D
