The Struggle

I have this gut feeling that my Dad just doesn't want me going to away to school, or moving out, or starting a new life on my own, or spending any money at all.

I don't know what the problem is! Every time the topic of school comes up I'm ambushed with comments about how it's too expensive, how he's not going to pay anymore, how the weather is going to be too cold for me, how I should go to a community college, blah blah blah.

Now, if you know me at all, you know that I HATE spending money. Even if it was the end of the world, I would never blow all of my money off on anything. I'm too busy saving it for when I go away to school and need to provide for myself.

A girl has gotta eat.

NOTHING is wrong with going to a community college, I believe that 100%. But this is MY SCHOOL. It's been my dream for my entire life. My high school career has been focused on getting in. They have the perfect program for my major and all of the other programs I need. And the tuition in INSANELY low.

I'm talkin' LOW.

Either way, I'm going.
So the scholarship and job hunt continues.

But is my Dad's attitude really about the money? Could be. Or is it something deeper? I guess we'll find out soon enough.
