I hate how my dad can get on a tangent and never fucking give it up.
His girlfriend told him to send me to Duke for creative writing over the summer.
I know how to write, and it is not what I will be doing for a living.
I love writing, but I would rather go to an engineering camp in boston.
Makes sense because::
a)I want to take as many engineering/computer classes as possible so I know It's what I want to do for the REST OF MY LIFE
b)Boston is where I plan to live. What a great plan to send me there so I can study what I plan to do as a career while I am living in boston.
Besides, this creative writing thing.. like 500 bucks more. What is his problem?
He emails me saying how there is no way going to engineering camp in boston where I can TAKE A CREATIVE WRITING COURSE at BU while I'm there.. can help me in any way for college. He seems to think that my essay is the only way colleges can accept you.
I'm sorry, but I really don't think I'm going to suck so bad on my essay that I need to go to summer camp for it. I love writing, I know how to write. At least well enough to do my college application essays well.
I think I like engineering, but I really don't know.
I also think I like computer science, robotics, and software engineering.
Wouldn't it be wise to figure out which one before I go majoring in one as some type of roulette for kicks?
I can totally understand if we don't have enough money. In fact, I thought he didn't. But, if he's willing to go into debt for something, why not be it something I actually want?
I'd rather him save the money for college anyway-I have to volunteer this summer.
But he just won't give up the dream of me going to study creative writing. Just because his fucking girlfriend told him to. She doesn't even speak english well, what does she know? And her daughter is a cheerleader. Guess Duke taught her HOW to write.
Gah.
Naptime.
Then MORE homework.
I give up. Send me away. Send me away from my crazy family.
