Last update 25 weeks ago?
Needless to say, it's been a while. I can't believe how time flies. It's nice to have a place to vent, that's for sure. So much has changed in my life...for the better in my opinion. I'm finally back in school, so on a day like today when I have the flu, I'm miserable not being there. You know, it took four years for my mother to give me her information for the fafsa. Four years. Now that she has finally given it to me, it seems as though she thinks I need to do whatever she tells me to do as far as my education. "You need to just get a two year degree so you can get a job. Go for Radiology". Yeah, I was interested in radiology, and don't get me wrong, it's a great profession, but I just feel like I'm more than that. Or I should say, I want more than that. I know that if I tell her I want to major in psychology and finish with a Psy.D she will go nuts. The same goes for my grandparents, really. I have to take a second sometimes to take a step back and look at the situation...and try to laugh about it. So many people send their kids off to insanely expensive Universities all over the country so that they can do what they want to do. The money they drop is unbelievable, yet my family isn't paying a cent for my education and they want to tell me what to do with my life. To me, that's like putting out the money for a car I reallllly want, but then having my family pick a car for me that I don't like driving at all. So I've decided to ignore all of it, and do what I want :-)
I really can't emphasize enough how time flies by. It feels like yesterday my little sister was born. Now she's in high school and will be attending her first homecoming in a few weeks. We went dress shopping last weekend, and she looked so cute in everything she tried on. I don't know if it is because I was so involved in her life and helping to raise her or what, but I'm emotional about it ha! I'm going home that day to help her get ready, do her hair and makeup, and to take pictures. No doubt I'll cry because I'm sappy like that, but I can't wait. Other than that, a ton has happened, but nothing that I have the energy to write about right now. Time to go lay in bed with some theraflu and my books.
