Change is good.
So I dropped out. I feel like I made the best decision for me. I'm not going to go through all of my reasons here, suffice it to say I wasn't happy, and I wasn't going to be happy while still in school.
So now I'm looking for a job with benefits. I'll work until I figure out what I want to do. Then I'll go back to school, but not until then. There's no point in wasting the money if I don't know what I want to do.
I have been really surprised by everyone's reactions. My mom said she'd been expecting it, she could tell I wasn't happy. My dad is a little disappointed, but says that he trusts my decision. John is upset but he seems to only be upset because they wasted money on me this semester. He also thinks I asked everyone to take care of me and then just threw it back in their faces. Obviously I don't agree. In three years, I've only asked for money when I didn't have an option (like that time we had $27 in our bank accounts and no food in the house. They gave me $150). I feel like Sean and I did it mostly on our own. Yeah, we've had some help, but mostly from Sean's parents and my daddy. I don't know, I guess I just feel like he doesn't have the right to be angry for the reasons that he's angry. They know I'm planning on paying them back for this semester, and it's not like they're going without because they paid it. I can understand a general disappointment, but I think this is a little over the top. bah.
