Hey guys! I've decided to have a separate update from the story, since it's been sooo long, I didn't want to give your guys' hopes up that it was a new chapter.

Anyways, I'm back (and I'm not dead! lol)! Sorry about the long break in the chapter updates. Shortly after the last update, my mom had to shut off the internet because we were having financial problems. We still are, but she put it back on because I'm starting college soon and I'm going to be take quite a bit of online classes for my degree.

The story is not over yet! When will it be updated again? Who knows... That's the sucky part. I'm not actually sure how long the internet is going to stay on for. It might only be a couple months. My mom is constantly getting threatened her job, getting her hours majorly cut, and my boyfriend recently moved in to help pay bills but I don't know how long that's going to last. It's pretty bad with the finances. But my mom is looking to go back to school to be certified as a Patient Care Technician, plus a bunch of other certifications in phlebotomy, EKG, and other stuff. I'm very proud of her!

I've recently turned 18, I got to go to my Senior Prom, and I graduated from high school! I'm a high school graduate now, woo! lol I'm going to college this fall for my Associates Degree in Administration. I'm really excited to go back to school, this summer has been so boring! And I'm such an over-achiever, I'm going to try my best to get Straight A's in college, unlike High School. I think I can do it!

I've been looking for jobs, especially walking distance because I don't have my license yet, and I have no luck in finding any, yet. I've had an interview for a cashier job making $11/hr starting, but they never called me back so obviously they weren't that interested in me. I also went to a job fair interview for a front desk job at a hotel, but the guy who interviewed me was very rude towards me. My boyfriend got a factory job recently, and he loves it (mainly loves the money lol). He's such a big help to the family and I love him for that!

I haven't even gotten to watch any new iCarly episodes either. The cable has been shut off as well, but that's been shut off for a little while before the internet was. I've seen a few episodes at my friend's house (iOpen a Restaurant and iHalfoween) but that's it. It really sucks!

Keep this "story" on your updates because any separate updates about the story will be uploaded onto here as well, not the actual story. I hate leaving updates on the story and making you guys give your hopes up that it's a new chapter update.

So, I just thought I'd let you guys know that I'm not dead and what's been going on! I hope you guys are having a great summer, and I hope to get a chapter update done soon!
