Overwhelmed and Tired

This summer had no drama. It was relaxing and honestly somewhat boring.

Then, suddenly, life decides to throw a bunch of things at me, all at once. Firstly, I received a letter from a People To People program inviting me to Europe this summer. It all sounds great, but after some research it seems like it isn't all that it promised.

Then my dad comes home and tells me my grandma has cancer. It isn't curable, he says, but there's a chance she'll survive with chemo. I don't even know what I'm supposed to do with this information. How does somebody handle this? How can I go to school and do Geometry when all I'm thinking about is my grandma in the hospital? God, I really don't even know if I'm acting like I feel or how I think people should act when they get news like this. Does that make sense?

Lastly, and least importantly, Geometry is confusing me. And Biology. When would I ever need to find the lateral surface area of a triangular prism in real life?

I can't help but feel that I've been complaining a lot lately. Sorry. I really hope you all have a great week.
