RANT
 I'm always up too late.  I stay up because I dread the morning.  If I could I would probably stay in today forever.  New days mean new days at work.  New days to screw up and feel useless because I just can't get used to the daily routine of Wendy's.  I always forget something.  I've only been there for about two weeks but it seems like they expect me to know it all by now.  

And I'm sick of my parents.  They just don't get it.  I'm so excited about CMC I could practically explode.  But all my dad thinks about is the fact that it's fourteen hours away.  He refuses to try to see it through my eyes and be proud of me for getting in and be happy for me that for the first time in my life I feel like I'm going to be doing what I was meant to do.  

And all my mom can say is "You have my support, do you need his too?"
They're supposed to be my PARENTS. BOTH of them.  Even if that wasn't a completely ludicrous comment for that reason it would be a false statement because I don't really have her support.  She's been trying to push different careers on me this whole entire time because she doesn't really believe I can do this.  She doesn't think I can find a job in the music industry.

I guess I have to believe in myself enough for three people...

Sorry about the work thing... new jobs are tough. Just be glad you have a job. Don't be afraid to ask questions, if you don't how else are you supposed to learn?

As for the parents thing, I am in complete agreement. They don't get it. I am not in quite the same situation as you are (btw what is CMC?). But I do feel like they don't care, which is somewhat similar i believe to your situation. I think that they do deep down care and are happy for you. But on the outside they are realizing that they are losing you, it is almost over - you are gonna graduate and leave and not be around like you are now. I guess maybe we should *try* to understand it from their side too...

And just because they don't believe in you doesn't mean that nobody does. And I know that other people are not the same as your parents. But remember that lots of people believe in you. I do. I think that I can speak for everyone else that knows and loves you at Milligan - we all believe in you. You can do whatever you put your mind to.

Just remember us little people when you are famous one day, ok?

LOVE YOU!!!!

Thanks guys! You rock my world and I mean that. And Hailey, you're probably right. They probably worry because they care. It's just that it seems like they are worried because they think I'm not being realistic and they don't think I'm going to be able to do what I want to do. And CMC is The Contemporary Music Center in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. I got in for Spring 2009. I'm still going to be at graduation in May but I'll be in Massachusetts that semester instead of at Miligan. I know I have you guys' support and you believing in me means a lot. Not to be totally sappy, but I love you guys and I don't know what I would do without you! :)

Love you too!

Parents are strange creatures and I don't think that we will ever fully understand them until we are where they are.

Hang in there, you will be just fine.

And I remember you telling me about CMC now, that is really cool!

Well at least you've got a goal to work towards with ambition and such I'm floating listlessly with the...vague plan of "getting published". *grins* You've got it so much more together and we're all here routing for ya. Sometimes following your dreams doesn't work out...and other times, for those who persue them...they really do come true. I think your parents are just trying to protect you from the fact that any kind of "arts" industry is hard to get into and true talent doesn't always take you where it should. I know you miss their undying support, but you're still their little girl and they'd rather you not try and not get hurt than fail and have to deal with the consequences. Not that that knowledge is particularly helpful when you have such a passion for something and the talent to take you far. Congrats on the CMC by the way I know that is a big deal for you. Hang in there and feel free to rant. We're all ready to listen...and goodness knows we've had enough rants of our own.

oh and if it doesn't work out, the whole music thing...you can live in my cardboard box with me
