Life would be so much easier if my mother just did not do anything.
Also it would be great if she would stop sending money to colleges. She still hasn't recognized what she did with Mary Baldwin as a mistake, and she refuses to apologise for it.
And now University of Alabama sent me some brochure for a freshman commune thing, and the due date is March 1st, so my mother said, "even though I am positive that you will not be attending Alabama, I'd like you to sign this application anyway so we can reserve a spot for you in the commune." WHAT. HELLO. I am not GOING to go there!! I do not NEED a spot!!
And she got really really mad at me for not wanting to do it. I said, "Mom I don't want any more colleges sending me freshman stuff and inviting me to orientations when I am not planning to go there. I am not going to Alabama. You don't need to send them money to make them think that I am going." To which she said, "But I'm just looking out for your safety!! I want you to live in a safe environment."
Right. So Alabama will have her money for my "safe environment" while I'm off larking around Birmingham. Oh if that just doesn't make all the sense in the world.
And today, Birmingham Southern sent me some letter that really said nothing. When she asked me if she could see it, I told her dad had it, and she got mad at me for not letting her see it! What? I am so confused. I don't care if she sees it, just don't send them money, please.
Then she proceeded to tell me what a privledge it is to go to college, that not many girls get the chance to go to college (yes, because this is the '40s), that she doesn't have to pay anything if she doesn't want to, and when it gets down to it, it really is her decision where I go to college anyway.
Well thanks, mom. I love you too.
Also. If Paul Yi calls me one more time about the outline, I am going to throttle him.
I hate mondays.
