Ok, this might not be the last Hot Sunday ever, but it's certainly going to the last for the summer. I doubt this will be missed though. Not that I'm doing this for the attention, wait, who I am kidding? Blogging is about as egotistical as it gets. Show me some love, por favor lovelies.
I reach out through my blog because of the lack of support IRL. My dad has given me a lecture twice about being an adult and canceling my trip to Barcelona. TWICE. It's like my degree means nothing to him. And to appease him and myself, I've started toying with the idea of grad school.
Al's first response, "How are you going to pay for it?"
Life's hard enough with all the other haters in the world. I wish I had more support. But, fuck it.
I'm going to SPAIN.

Christina, you gotta do what you gotta do. Screw everybody else. I know your dad is probably speaking out of fatherly concern, but sometimes you gotta let the parents worry and do your thing. I've found that when you try to do right by other people's standards, you'll always fall short. No one knows what's best for you other than you. Don't worry about disapproval. I think when everyone sees how happy and confident you are, they'll eventually come around. You're young- you have time to be crazy.
P.S. If you're not that "into" the idea of grad school, I say don't do it. Not worth the stress if you don't love it. Also, if you are, then there's the chance of getting assistantships and/or fellowships to pay for your school and possibly give you $ to live on.
Anyway... I think that's enough of a post... I wish the best for you!

Maria,
Thank you so much for these kind words. It really means a lot to me to hear these things. I know they're true, sometimes it's just hard to believe it.
Yeah, there's lots of options when it comes to grad school. I've got to figure out what I want to do.
Again
Thanks.

Your blog is a trip. I love it.
