• Currently sitting in RBB...ok..TRS' computer lab. It's 2:30p.m. Yes I'm suppose to be in class but no I'm not skipping. I'm here because my professor cancelled class AGAIN. That makes the 2nd time in one semester, though this time the excuse is better: family emergency. Ok I'll forgive him for that one, but the last one was just ridiculous. "I HAVE THE FLU" on the day of TTC and west GTA's blackout? Right.

  I got news yesterday that my godmother's mother passed away the day before; funeral is tomorrow at 10:00am in Kitchener because she lived there. So I sat down and sent my godmother an email about how I was sorry to hear the news. But as I sat down and began typing, I typed one sentence and stopped. I had no idea what to write. I don't want to sound mean or like heartless or something, but personally, I haven't really had any family members passing away, except my great-grandmother, but I wasn't around at that time and she was sick, so we all sort of expected the worse. The only other time that I went to a funeral was when my mom's HS teacher/friend's wife passed away. I wasn't particularly close to that auntie but I knew her family, and some of her husband's family. I don't remember if I cried, probably not; my memories of her weren't that much, but I can also say the same for my godmother's mother. I have never even met her, but out of politeness, or whatever it is, I should still be there. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I don't want to go.

  I don't attend many funerals (nor do I want to; who does?), but every time I do, a problem always come up: how you present yourself in terms of clothing and such. The clothing part, I'm covered since I'm in business in all. I made sure I have black dress pants and any colour of dress shirt that I can find and fits and suits me.; shoes aren't a problem either. The biggest problem is that I don't have a bag that I can put my things in when I go to a funeral. Most my bags are like variations of red, pink and purple, which aren't exactly the colours for a funeral. I sold my only black small purse a long while back during the garage sale at Edith's and never did end up getting another one after that. I really need to think about things like this when I buy things.

   

  With all those bad news, I do have one good news: Grey Power called one of my references and according to her, they sounded pretty impress
