Umbilical Discord

Well, today, I was blessed in job searching: officially, I'm a team member at the Quizno's on Caruthers Parkway in Franklin, TN. I also got offered an interview at Publix, but since this job is a sure thing, and, ahem, since Publix requires certain things of all its employees (it hasn't been five weeks), I just went with the sure thing.
After talking with my parents, I, more than likely, won't be returning to college next fall, except possibly on a part time basis at Belmont or MTSU. Also, I've got to pay for my own car insurance and for the student loan, however small ($3000 at a max of $50 per month is the estimate), but not until fall for the loan. This comes in addition to any other expense I might incur, such as gas, food, etc. The discussion almost felt as if I was being kicked out. On the other hand, my parents' actions were perfectly justified due to my irresponsibility with the gift of schooling provided solely by them at a high cost. It's just hard to take. Really, it's been a long time coming though. I should've had a job long before this time...
The problem with getting over what lies in the past is that my parents, who happen to be the majority of whom I'm around, keep bringing it up. Whereas I'm nonchalant about it, they digress into the dark depths about the whole thing. But whatever...
Hey, The Chariot, a Christian metalcore band, is playing tomorrow at Rocketown. I'd be willing to go if anyone wants to...call me if you do...

dude. I completely feel you on the whole, parents keep bringing up my mistakes thing. everything it seems reminds them of my report card!!! It Really sucks but I've learned that if I stop making mistakes, then I might just not hear it quite a bit... after coming upon this epiphany I also realized that this isn't a normal circumstance seing as my mom is one of the two rightfully nagging me. Which means that 5 years from now (if I make straight A's from now 'til then) she will still say that I have alot to prove. My dad on the other hand likes to deal with problems in the present, which also happens to be the way I like it. So any way....hang in there and try not to do anything stupid. Even though it's verry hard sometimes (especially for me)!
