Hmmmmm today was full of emotions, this morning my mom woke me up and started yelling at me LOL what a lovely day to start the morning off. I got the whole "you think your better than everyone else, your lazy, you don't do any work." and any time your mom is yelling at you how does it always seem to come back to the fact that your room isn't clean and that you don't help out around the house!!! I mean what is it, you start off yelling at each other becuase you can't run to the store and it's all your fault cause your room isn't clean HOW THE HELL DOES THAT ALWAYS HAPPEN!!! so i got the same old speech " well i don't know how im going to be able to afford for you go to go school... i can't get a job, and i would take out more loans for you to pay back but your going into "graphic design" WTF does that mean, "well if you were going into engineering then i would be able to but your not going to make any money in your major" Now i know to a lot of you reading this, it may sound redundant how many times this occurs in my house (with allt he fighting and arguing and all) i promis you i'm not looking for sympathy but throw me a freakin bone here this is what i have to put up with all day long. No wonder i wanted to live at a school that was only 20 mintues away. So i'm like i'm fed up with this and i'm ready to leave and go get some lunch when amanda calls and i'm like oh u wanna come, so of cource Amanda comes to the rescue and picks me up.
But then i'm informed of the terrible news that are friends father passed away. My heart goes out to you Joe! i'm so sorry to hear about everything. Honeslty it's been on my mind most of the day and Joe and his family will definetly be in my prayers.
We went and picked up Bonnie from school and I made a friend at Cabrini!!!!!! in five minutes too. haha it's ok Bon some of us are just naturals with friends, you can't expect that on your first month there. We went to visit up at the highschool which we haven't really been gone long enough to miss it but that's cool i got to talk with some teachers. When i got home, i finished up some shopping My dad wakes me up and says "were going out to your aunts put you shoes on cause u have to drive me" I got to hang out with my cousins which was cool. and Poula it's ok if you can't read i love you anyway kid.
I came home only to be accompanied by another attack MOM, "WHY CAN"T YOU BE MORE LIKE..." after that i just kinda tuned her i think she was saying something about me never listening to her, I dunno I really wasn't paying attention.
I know i may sound like i'm whining a lot but it's fairly difficult to be going out on a limb and major in something that your heart may love but you may not have the skills for. but to do it knowing that 1. you don't really have the support of your family and 2. nobody in your family even has the faith in you that you'd be able to do it. i'm sorry but this is just one difficult task that i don't feel i'm ready to face. I mean i'm questiong my abilities to do graphic design but it makes it that much worse when all i hear day after day is "are u sure u feel your creative enough for this" "you know they don't make that much money" "why can't u be more like your sister and major in science" "I just can't see you going into this and comming out sucessful" THANK FOR THE F*CKIN SUPPORT FAM!!!!
So lets recap the highlights of my day, Being with my friends and my cousins, the lows of the day being at home! hmmmm is it monday yet?
