so ithaca is going to kick me out unless i can come up with $6,000 by friday.
i have a $4,000 loan that hasn't arrived yet and another $2,000 loan that also hasn't arrived yet.
the shittiest feeling in the world, more than ex-boyfriends who hate you or mounting homework or a summer plagued by insecurity and doubt, is that everything you've ever worked for, everything you deserve, all the dreams and visions and hopes you have to change the world and make it a more equal place...
can be taken away because you're too poor.
to everyone that reads this that is financially secure or is fortunate enough to have educated parents that know how to manage money, i hope you never have to feel this way in your life.
and to the rest, its not long until this whole american dream of making it big and the land of opportunities leaves you stranded.
i guess i better start packing. im not sure how this whole epic saga is going to turn out, and in typical tyson fashion, im preparing for the worst.
"We have one chance.
One chance to get everything right.
We have one chance, one chance.
And if we're lucky we might.
My friends, my habits, my family, they mean so much to me.
I just don't think that it's right.
I've seen so many ships sail in,
just to head back out again and go off sinkin'."
what did i tell you, my mantra.
