so
we were just eating dinner
and my mom was watching the stock-thingy
and she said
monica you better pray that stock goes up
or you wont get to go to northwestern no matter what
and for some reason,
it eerked me
i understand that northwestern is REALLY expensive
but if i get it, thats where i want to go
so i tell her this
and not to worry
because they'll give us a lot of finicial aid
probably
and she says
'we'll see'
so i say
'if no matter what im not going
we wasted money on the application
and you should have just said no from the beginning'
and she looked at me
and said
'i dont want to squash your dreams, sweetie'
because telling me no matter what i probably cant go there
isnt squashing my dreams.
it bothered me.
obviously.
it also bothers me
that my grandparents tell me every other day
that im not going to get in there
or gw
i know my chances are slim
but i have to try, right?
it just feels like no one thinks
i can really do it.
thats a bad feeling.
