Hmm.

And I thought life at college was depressing.

Back home everyone acts as if they are having the worst day of their life. Dad is still depressed regarding our real estate problems, and the fact that Mom is badgering him for money. In addition to this, his girlfriend's son died and they've broken up over some bizarre commitment issues. He seems irrevocably downtrodden.

I got the surprise of my life when I learned Derrick was convicted with possession of cocaine. I don't even know what to make of this.
