Our neighbor drove my mom and I to the Go Bus and we were on our way to McMaster at 8:35am. All I wanted was to see my friends and tell them the news.
After a long and nerve filled bus ride, we arrived on campus. First stop, wellness centre to give my doctor and nurses the update. Second stop, student advising office to see what my options are for school. I couldn't believe continuing school was even a question for me. Leaving the place I love and not seeing my friends everyday?! Guess you gotta do what you gotta do... even if it isn't fair.
The real challenge of the day... meeting up with friends and finding the words to tell them. Some were quiet, some had questions, and some didn't know what to do with themselves. I guess some people have had someone so close get sick. I've always tried to be there for them so it's going to be weird trusting them to support me through all of this.
Tonight I had dinner with my mom and closest friends. We raised our glasses and toasted to 'Team Julia.' The day was all so unreal but that line hit me like a truck.
