I'm avoiding studying. It makes me so mad that our professors assigned a test two weeks after our last one and more importantly the Monday after Thanksgiving when it is the last day the course. There is another 3 days that our class could meet before the end of semester final days of the University. I just can't concentrate. I worked 3 12 hour

Hey, you. I can kind of understand the parents issue. Me and my boy have been ready to take the next step forward towards marriage, but unfortunately Indian/Muslim culture says that the girl's parents need to be in agreement. Mine, unfortunately, were not open to the idea because he's half-white, and his mom isn't Muslim (but his father is, along with him and the rest of his siblings.) They met his family back in April and were completely against the idea. For the last six months, I've been fighting with them (fighting in the sense that, every so often I'd bring up the topic in a mature fashion, and try to explain why their reasons for saying no were superficial and unjustified. Not throwing tantrums and saying "LET ME MARRY HIM!") Well, after months of persistence.. I finally got them to agree to meet his family again, and this time they went in with an open mind, and now we have their blessing. And we're all really happy and excited, including my parents. My point is this: parents are always uncomfortable with things, especially if you choose to go about them in a way they think is "wrong." If you and Shaine are really serious about this, just keep doing what you're doing right now. Be open with your parents and explain to them WHY you guys want to do what you have planned. I know it's hard, but the key is to keep calm and be mature. Try not to let it escalate into yelling and arguing, because if you do that, whatever points you're trying to make are gonna fall on deaf ears. In the end, your parents just want what's best for you and they want to see you happy. It make take a while, but if you show them that you are an adult and are capable of making informed decisions. As hard as it is, just continue to try and be open with your mom and have calm discussions with her. In the end, hopefully it'll all work out. <3

Sorry for the super long comment. I miss you, girl!
