"You wish you were staying forever, but don't come back again..."
It's been a couple of days since our last update, so here I am.
I gotta admit, things are looking pretty grim right now. At least as far as my college education is concerned. So as I elegantly stated in my last entry, my loan was denied. I have like between 2 and 3 weeks to get everything figured out if I wanna stay in school. And believe me, I do wanna stay. But my options are extremely limited now. And to be honest, I'm not even sure if I have enough time to arrange something at this point. I talked to my mother on the phone last night about this, and she basically said what I expected. According to her, I should have stayed in community college or tried harder in high school to get scholarships. She also said that maybe college just isn't for someone like me, and that maybe I shouldn't be going. I mean all I wanted was some help from my parents, and they totally don't even wanna bother. I said to her, "I don't wanna inconvenience you guys or anything, but I really need you guys to help me out. And I might be wrong, but I always thought it was the parent's goal to help their kids succeed." And my mom says to me, "Well Tony, you're 21. My obligation stopped when you turned 18."
What the fuck?
Yeah so after a good 40 minutes on the phone with her, I didn't get very far. I mean she said she'll call the lady in the financial aid office Monday morning, but something tells me she won't. I just don't get their lack of concern in the matter. You'd think they would try a bit harder to assist their only child who has actually gone to a university. Oh well. Like I've said in many entries... I'm fucked. Goodbye school, hello real world.
I already have some shit arranged in case I can't come back to school. Bret has offered to allow me to live with him in his apartment in Davison, and I gotta say... I wouldn't mind that one bit. He's actually pretty excited about the idea, so that will be good. Like I said though, my #1 preference is to stay in college... but I can't really complain about my other option. Living with the B man is something I've always wanted to do anyway.
So we played poker again tonight. We played last Thursday too, as usual. I'm proud to say that on both nights I came in first place. It's a good time playing poker with the fellas.
Oh, and Jeremy Buxman is a champ at Street Fighter. I gotta give him that.
Well as of right now, I have 38 drawings done out of the 50 that are due on Tuesday. I've been drawing my arse off... granted, the pictures are complete and utter shit... but hell, turning in shit is better than turning in nothing. I just gotta buckle down and finish up the remaining 12 tomorrow. It can be done. It's in my reach.
I have a doctors appointment on Wednesday... not looking forward to that. In a way I am though... but yeah... it's gonna suck. It's at 4 pm, so I'm gonna have to leave my drawing class a bit early in order to get there on time. I actually don't want to go home for Thanksgiving break, as odd as that might sound.
Well anyway, I suppose I have nothing left to say.
I don't want to leave.
