She Works Hard for the Money. So Hard for the Money.

My mom, predictably, said if I didn't have a Chicago internship I had to go home. There was much sobbing on her part. I said if I came home she'd never let me leave again. It looks like I have to support myself entirely this summer, this stretching on into a full time job next year and maybe two classes. I'm no longer going to be a full time student, but a member of the work force who takes classes. For real this time, not another unrealistic threat. I have to find a job, learn how to file taxes, and figure out how to graduate. Luckily I'm a junior, so even hindered I may be able to graduate with the rest of my class if I get loans. I have to drop a major to do so, probably. Find a place I can afford next year, so possibly a bench in the ped mall. Ever wonder if it's really all that worth it? I'm not going home to Missouri at least, but am I really escaping my family and all that shit to anything? To any concrete purpose or greater hapiness? Angst. Job applications? Angst.
