Remember how I was so excited to get out of my house this fall and be free and whatnot? Well that's not happening anymore. Monday night my parents made a "family decision" and financially I can't go anywhere. I am stuck at NCTC for another year. The night they told me I was pissed and upset and angry and hated them, but now I'm not. I waited to post about it and looked at the situation with a clear head. I'm not angry anymore. Staying at NCTC is probably the best thing for me right now (at least financially) and even though it's not what I want to do, at all, it opened the door to the original plan Claire and I once had long ago in high school (one year ago). We're gonna work our little academic asses off and get into UT and go Austin crazy!!!!! I like this plan more than getting complacent and staying near home for college. I'll be home until I'm like twenty but in the end I think it will pay off. I won't have near as much debt as some of the other people I know (Brandon). Oh, and if I get this minority scholarship I won't have any debt at all!!! Study, study, study!!!!!
These new developments also means that Brandon has a new plan. Apparently he wants to get an apartment with one of his other friends and do the living on my own in squalor and paycheck to paycheck. I think that's a stupid idea. If he's anything like me (which he is) then squalor will not work at all. He's going to want to go to concerts out the wazoo and he won't be able to because of the bills he's going to have. I just don't want him to leave and then have to go back home again. That won't be good for him, guess he'll learn the hard way. I'm just worried about him.
I leave for Colorado on SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
