Discovery
I've realized something...every time I go back to Fullerton, whether it's for school or work, my parents always find ways to give me a hard time about my life.
I made a mistake of telling the scheduler at work that I start school late January, so he assumed I would be fully available all weeks before then. So this week, he scheduled me for work on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday (I'm supposed to be available on weekends only). So when I found out I was working pretty much all week this week, I told my parents I would be staying at Fullerton, for a few days to work this week, and I spoke to the scheduler, and he seemed understanding, and said he would try to work something out for the next week. Until them, I'm stuck at Fullerton.
Where do my parents come in all this? Pretty much everywhere. The whole time they bug me about my school work (I have a project I have to finish by the end of this coming semester), and my job. I can clearly tell they think I ASKED to work weekdays during the winter vacation. I can clearly tell they think i'm a failure because I have a crap ass job that pays minimum wage. I can definitely clearly tell they want me to move forward in my life at a faster pace.
You know what...I've tried moving at a fast pace, and it sucked. I was depressed and angry for most of that time. I burried myself in online games and sleeping during that time.
I'm trying to lighten the load on my parents by never asking them for money, except for rent, school tuition, car, and insurance. Pretty expensive stuff...especially the school tuition and rent. During the Summer while I was working full time, I could easily pay for a general simple life. I'm not saying I want to live like this for the rest of my life. I'm saying I'm taking it at my own pace, as slow as it may seem, while trying to not cause too many problems with my parents. With the tough economy, life (for my parents at least) have become slightly more stressed. I'm trying so hard right now to keep my composure in front of my family and friends, but right now my parent's burden seems to be pressing down hard on me.
So now every other conversation is not just about my schoolwork, but now it's about money too. On top of that, the suspicions and nagging is driving me absolutely crazy. I have 1 year of school left...I'm just going to have to put up with all this as long as I can.
Ok bye... |
