Ketchup

The past week that I haven't blogged was super packed with stuff that was mostly non-music related. It was the last week in town for my friends and my date, who work with the renaissance festival. They stayed two weeks after the fair, but left yesterday morning :( So most of my week was spent with them, mostly of course with my date, Michael. He's a northerner, so we made it a point to spend a lot of time at the beach, where we both got very strange burn lines and spots. But the not-so-good news is that last saturday morning, I got a call from my grandma telling me that my cousin, Caitlin, was put in to the ICU the night before. Her blood pressure got to be about 40/35 and we had almost lost her. Found out a few days later that she had strep bacteria and another kind of bacteria in her blood stream that was causing her to be so sick. She underwent a few surgeries and lots antibiotics. Yesterday was her first day fully conscious and with food. Tonight I visited her again and she was speaking clearly for the first time. She's on the road to recovery, and we're so glad to see it. But we probably won't let her go back away to college haha. In other news, I did not get in to NYU, as I expected. The odds were way against me in that they accept 2,400 into the school and 42,000 applied. I don't feel so bad. Just polishing up my MI application and I will be sending that in by next week. With that, I am off to bed after a long day. Good night!
