Yes, I'm not sure what to say. Err... here's what happened to me.
The Good: Started college as a junior via a state program, giving me some challenging stuff to do all day. When college is not in session and school is, I had several free periods to goof off during. DDR competition with some friends in the same situation in the library was a highlight. I made Varsity on my school's cross country team, a goal of mine since my freshman year, and something deemed nearly impossible by one of my coaches at that time. I ran 543 miles between the end of school and the start of cross country, dropping my time for a 5k from 21:30 to 17:52, and helping my team take 2nd at the State competition. I made 6 new friends from the rest of my team, and I get to run Track with them in the coming Spring. I found several D&D campaigns on this forum that I enjoy that give me something to look forward to during the weekends, instead of seeing the weekends as a time where I'm not doing anything productive.
The Bad: My dad went into the hospital for 23 weeks because his heart wasn't beating very quickly, nor very hard. His heart was only pumping a quarter what mine pumps, and he is 70 pounds heavier than me. He went into surgery to get a pump for his heart, and now he runs on (advanced) batteries and has no discernible pulse. After the past 10 years of heart troubles, including a heart attack, this pump, two pacemakers (the first was defective and shocked him unnecessarily), and several other complications, he is now worth over five million dollars.
The Good News About the Bad News: He didn't have to pay for most of his bills because he volunteered to test the new models of all of his equipment. His pump was patented only a few months before he got one, and he is the first to use it. The really good news is that he's on the top of the heart transplant list, so he might have a pulse again soon.
