good news first!
- one class this semester? hell yea!!
- my final semester @ COB? bliss!
i understand her worries- and i'm not going to try and bankrupt my family just to fulfill my 'selfish' wants of becoming an artist. but goddamnit. when you start demanding that i look at canadian colleges just because of the scholarship for UNDERGRADS [which i'm pretty damn sure i'm NOT] that's available, for the same, generic colleges, in a place i don't want to be?! that's crossing the line. i'm almost 20 years old- two fucking decades alive on this planet. i don't profess to know all there is to know, but when will she see that i'm not going to follow her wishes or her dreams?
you said you and dad swore to give me a college education. then fucking do what you promised and stop trying to make me miserable.
2 remarks:
1. nothings wrong with those generic colleges, in fact they give you a degree which helps you get a job or at least internships to kool places
2. if youre not an undergrad what are you, what did you get at thsi COB that you mentioned?
i will concede that my labeling was done out of my utter frustration at the time with what was going on- i know that not all of them are horrible, but my problem with 'generic' colleges, as i've called them, is that they really and truly don't offer what i really want to study. and the fact that i'm almost being forced to apply to them is killing me because i really don't want to do something my heart isn't in. that to me, is a bigger waste of money than sending me to an art college, for example, and me having to stay there longer because my ability may not be up to their standards, or if my credits aren't transferable. put me in the right environment to me studying what i have a passion for, and i'll thrive- sticking me in a liberal arts college doing something i only have a casual interest in is NOT the way to go, and i do wish that my mother would see that.
and to answer your second question, i'll be graduating in may with an AA in Art. and COB is the College of the Bahamas, my country's main tertiary institution. the program has its usefulness, and i am glad i stayed there, but i'm about done with a liberal arts college experience, so i'm definitely not looking to enter another one right now!
