(no subject)
Okay, so. Update on my life.
I've more or less recovered from the 'i didn't get in' thing. I don't know if my emotional responses are muted, I'm just really strong mentally, or what, but I just have this feeling I should be more upset. Instead I kinda just... moved on.
Anyway. I never thought I'd have the UNIVERSITY FIGHT with my mom, but... yeah, we're in the middle of it. Not angry yelling, but she's gotten really clingy and doesn't want me to leave the Island. The school I'm looking at is three, almost four hours away from home. And considering I live in a place where you can drive from one end to the other in a little over that, it's kind of far. She's pushing for UPEI, but St. Francis Xavier offers me a chance to further my studies in English AND in the fine arts.
UPEI is close to home, but... I just get the feeling that I need to leave - which is alarming, because I never wanted to leave home before - and get to know myself. Maybe it's also because STFX is one of the best universties in all of Canada and I kind of feel like I'm good enough to go now.
Again.
A full university education was my backup plan.
