Anyone Sick of College
I am, and I'm not even done being a high school senior. My dad asked me today if I have any college plans, as if my answer changed from yesterday. I said the smae thing I always do, "I don't know." It's not a lie either. He then asked an hour later, like that's enough time to actually change that answer. I'm getting sick and tired of my dad and my stepmom getting on my back, saying I'm not prepared for the real world, that I won't make it. I hate that. They have no faith in me. Sure, I have no idea what I will do, but it would be nice if they believed in me. My mom is much more supportive, but I live with my dad. I should move in over with my mom, her husband, and her stepson, but I just...I don't know why I can't but I just can't right now.
The only college I've applied to that actually looks good sent me a letter saying that they didn't get everything I sent in. I have to go talk to my counselor tomorrow to see what this is about since she sent it in. Any other college that might actually look good is probably past the registration deadline. I just really hate all this crap. I don't really want to go to college. High school has pretty much burnt me out on places of education. It doesn't seem like something a valedictorian to say, but that's what this one is saying, or typing to be exact. I just want to be around comics, manga, anime, and stuff like that.
My friend who doesn't live around here spent the night while I played his PS2 (I've discovered that .hack//infection is really fun). Well, he said that he overheard my dad and stepmom talking. He said that my stepmom said that I wasn't a good artist or writer. My dad said I was a good writer (I don't know what he said about the artist). As for the art, I know I'm not that good. I'd show you if any of it ever was approved (they should tell you why it isn't). As for writing, how on freakin earth would they know. They don't even read my work. That really bugged me.
I am just really upset. Ever since my dad took me out of Tae Kwan Do after four years on November 2002, my stress reliever has been gone. Plus, I've gotten severely out of shape. My abs weren't in the best of shape then, but now they're awful. I would do sit-ups, but I keep hearing that they're not good for the back, and thanks to my heavy school backpack, my back is also awful. If anyone knows how to improve abs and back, please tell me.
Well, I'm sure there's more I can rant about, but I should save some for later. Hopefully, next time I'll include some quizzes to lighten the mood. The good news (there actually is some) is that on my manga idea, I got a break through on the characters and plot. I think it's coming along. Now, I just need to find an artist and I can start on the script.
One more thing. Real Life: the Game. They gave it a 9.6?! I give it a 3, maybe 5 tops. |
