WHAT?! news

the most amazing news of the day is my mom called me yesterday. i intentionally tried to avoid talking to her, she still got me. she called the computer lab like 100 times. she wanted me to go back to china next week. i was like WHAT!!!?!? she said she has my greencard, another WHAT!!?!?! i don’t know what’s going on. her excuse is that she doesn’t have her greencard (i thought she did) and she heard my grandpa was in critical conditions the last couple days and she wanted me to go back and visit.
i dont really want to! not only have i had a lot OTHER plans for my spring break, my spring break is so short. it’s only one week and it takes 23 hours on the plane to just to get to china. so i could only spend like 4 days there even if i leave on sunday. in 4 days i dont even know if i could get myself used to the time (13 hours) difference. what else can i do?! plus she’s not even sure how critical is the condition my grandpa is in right now. she said she will call me again on saturday to tell me for sure. now i really don’t want to go. it’s quite ridiculous.
i do know my grandpa (not as well as my grandma).. but if i’d have to face his death >< i don't know how to handle that. i've NEVER experienced a death of a close relative. dealing with the funeral is one thing, but how can i face my grandma afterward? in four days, how can i comfort her?! i think i will be terrified myself. ;_; i just really don't want to go back.. andy said my grandpa might not even want to see me at his death bed... i dont know... but the entire idea is just as crazy as any other ideas by my mom. gosh... arrggh..
pray for my grandpa, i wish he will be healthy enough to see me this summer. ;_;

tomorrow’s athena’s sweet 16, please send her some cards & gifts!
