She Emos Some More
Awrr. Y___Y Majorly bummed. I didn't really expect the college talk with Dad to go well, although I didn't expect he'd probably make me cry, and I wasn't incorrect in either case. All the points he raised were very good ones- I have a good scholarship here, I have two other sisters going into college soon so that means my parents couldn't cover a large increase in cost, we got slammed by taxes this year, we're probably going to get slammed on Katie's financial aid (jeebus, I thought making more money was supposed to be a good thing), and if I wanted to go to another school I'd probably end up having to work 40 hours a week to cover all the expenses in addition to full time classes- but now I feel like I'm stuck with a major that I don't want. ;; I really don't know what else I'd do at this school but a science. I mean, there's always art history, but Dad keeps talking to me about the fucking business end of things, and I think that would fall squarely under the catagory of "non-profitable." Same with any sort of English. I'm horrible at foreign languages. Math doesn't even bear considering, in my case. Hood does offer a managment degree, though. Ha ha.
That was a bitter laugh, in case you couldn't tell. e__e;
Anyway, not really sure what I'm going to do. Although I'd like to study art, I don't want to major in studio design, which is the only thing they offer here. D: That degree doesn't have as many applications as, say, graphic design or game art and design or media arts and animation. I think part of the problem is that Dad either thinks I want to sit around and paint landscapes all day, or that I'm going to be enrolling in one of those little 2 year "college" programs with college in quotation marks because it doesn't really count as such. >___>; I guess it doesn't really matter. Even though I love to draw, I'm starting to doubt I'd be able to make it in such a competitive field, anyway.
Blargh, I c'n feel my brain start to climb down that dark spiral. o___< Better try and snap out of it. Maybe a shower is in order. Or a walk. Or both. It's a nice day.
