on my own! but not really....
I just had the most brilliant conversation with my parents. They pretended to act all concerned that I was worried about money and just said "You don't have to stay in the city. you can come home now and work here." um... excuse me? I told them that me being happy is not the issue, I'm extremely happy here, the issue is being able to, you know, buy food and stuff. I straight out told them that if I were to come home now I would be depressed. Because that's how is was for winter break. I mean, I am coming home for a month anyway! And that's even pushing it. I think they're in denial about how unhappy being around them makes me. I have faith that I'll get a job soon, I just have to be aggressive about it. My grandparents come back from London today, so it'll be nice to see them. Then tomorrow I'm moving to Queens for the rest of my NY stay, and I AM STAYING. Thank God I have family I love here. Thank God I have friends that are amazing. I cannot wait for the day when I will be out from the financial chains my parents keep me in. I swear if they weren't paying my tuition, I don't know how much I would speak to them. OH! And half the reason I'm here is so that I can work on establishing residency, and when I mentioned that my mom was like "oh, yeah... I forgot about that." Gee, you've only been bugging me about it ALL YEAR. *ahhhhhhhhh* Well, it's ok. Next summer I'm either going to do a fantastic festival or go to Europe, that's what I've decided.
