Tough week...

This week was one of my toughest weeks in my entire life. My dearest grandma had to be admitted to the hospital and the next day after she was there, her health became worse and some complications had emerged, leaving us all in shock and disbelief. At first I thought she would have a smooth recovery as she’s a very tough person but now I’m confused. At this very difficult moment I’m really drained and worried and I don’t really have much energy and concentration to do the assignments or attend to lessons. In fact I missed the last two days of lessons this week. I’m spending most of the time possible at hospital with family next to my grandma keeping her company and taking care of her. 

She is like my second mother to me, she is a person who helped raising me and my brothers along with my parents, in the best way possible. And if it wasn’t for her I wouldn’t be the person who I am today. She taught me how to respect people, to love, to be honest, to have courage, to stay positive and many other things. To that I feel the need to respect her back and repay few of the sacrifices she’d done with us and I want to spend the most time possible with her now during this difficult moment. I hope she will feel better because I hate watching her suffer and I want her back home with us again.

As I said before, during this difficult moment, I’m really finding it hard to continue with my studies, but I’m trying to do the best I can to spend few hours working on assignments. For most assignments, we are working in groups and I’m still keeping contact with my group members to understand what they’re doing and giving me updates to what is happening during lessons. At the same time I feel frustrated that I couldn’t give my full performance. I also spoke with some lecturers explaining everything and they understood my situation. I’m also glad that I had made the best I could previously so I have a good amount of work ready, but still have much more to do and the deadlines are very close!
