Journal Entry #37: 04/21/23

--:::------::------------------->🔆<--------------------::------:::---

Today felt like a big reminder of my mortality and the fragility of the human body. One of uncles had a heart attack, and had to have an 8-hour emergency heart surgery. On top of that, we ended up learning about the cardiovascular system and how heart attacks happen, which is quite the coincidence. Lastly, school got held during dismissal because there was a medical emergency. Someone was having a severe asthma attack. Hopefully they’re okay. 

Even though it’s necessary and a part of life, it’s difficult to come to terms with the fact that I am fragile. Death is obvious, everything my body does is to ensure my survival. But getting sick and hurt badly? That’s different. People who have heart attacks must get care from EMTs and hospital staff. I think it’s the vulnerability aspect of medical stuff like this that makes me feel weird. I have to trust someone who, is skilled, but don’t know to help me.

Anyway, I’ve been looking for things to do on campus when I get there in August. Apparently there’s not a web development club. Maybe I could make one. I’ll probably spend this weekend cleaning up, reading books, studying for exams, and studying for my math placement test. I also have a take home test from AP Stats. I’m almost done with regular school (I have a week of it left), then I have to complete AP and non AP exams.

Oh, and I’ve been working on my graduation party playlist…and it’s done! I’ve been playing some of it, though I have to deal with the ads since I don’t have Spotify premium. We’ll be playing the songs on my sister’s account, which does have Spotify for the party.

I’m feeling pretty sleepy, so I’lol log off for now.

Boa noite,
