It kind of makes me hate his mom. It's like when my dad takes a fatalist attitude about IB. He doesn't think I'm going to pull it off, so he asks me if I really need to do all the crap I'm doing. I have a hard enough time trying to deal with it without him telling me it's pointless... Of course, thanks to my combative nature (which I got from him, what do you know), I find myself making excuses to do the work, to do the extended essay or the ib exams, and I end up believing them myself.
I don't see why you can't just take out loans. If I were in the same situation, I'd ask how much my mom would be willing to spend max. Then, if I could get the rest of it in loans and scholarships, why would I have to go to a particular school? Maybe it's just college, but if you settle for something you don't want now, how do you know you won't do it again in the future? What about your first job? Your second? Your career? Your life? OK, so maybe that doesn't make much sense... but too bad. But ignore what I just said, anyways, because I'm not in the same position, and I don't have to worry about money being a criterion for college choice, because my parents will support me in whatever school I choose. Note, however, that I'm not applying to Harvard or Yale, and Boulder remains one of my top choices.
Well, other than the more icky stuff, I must say that:
- taco bell is cool, in all of its ghetto glory
- Paul Simon is awesome
- Soylent Green is one of the cheesiest movies. EVER
- I find the strangest things sexy
- trivial pursuit should be played more often
- Eric remains awesome
- riding in other people's cars is hella fun
Dude, I brought my camera, but being a dumbass, forgot to take pictures of the people I don't have any pictures of, and wanted most. Not strictly true; I at least got Srav. Oh, and Chris, at lunch. But still. Damn.
