Diana,
I am sorry for how I treated you this semester. I should have studied for biology and I chose not to. Because I didn't do the work, I lost the vacation I wanted. It is painful to be in this house right now knowing I was supposed to be somewhere else. I spent weeks being angry at you for the time I wasted, but being this mad is not fixing the grade. It is just making the summer harder to survive.
I need to stop punishing you for a mistake that is already over. I was wrong to ignore my responsibilities, and I am paying that price now. I am admitting that I messed up so I can stop carrying the guilt around the house. I will do better next semester. For now, I have to be kinder to us while I figure out how to move forward.
Diana
