Confused..

I just got back from the ProScout conference in Seattle (see previous entry), so Yay! One thing off my life's to do list. It was a lot of fun and I even got one call back. So, maybe I'll spend some time making pretty pictures of me and see if I can't do some local modeling

My thoughts:

1.) I feel like I've disappointed the world, my world anyways.
I think this shows not that you're a disappointment, but that your world is focused on the wrong things, perhaps.

2.) my parents won't/can't pay for...
Again, if you want to pursue every dream, you can't always hold on to your safety line. And, opportunity doesn't come for free.

3.) I guess failure, on this scale, has never been something I do or am.
I know you'll grow from this. And nobody wins all the time.

4.) although if i try hard enough, maybe I can fix that last bit.
If you try hard enough at the right things, you can do anything.

Although my comments probably don't seem entirely consolatory, I don't think this is a time when you need people blowing sunshine up your ass.

If you've found it so easy to fall off the path, maybe you're walking in the wrong direction.

And in the words of "Mr. DiFranco," as we sang a couple weeks ago...

"cuz when i look around

Thanks Jake!

Really, honestly, I DON'T. :)
I was looking for an objective perspective I guess, cuz I have had difficulty doing that lately. It was so hard for me to just find the next step and say, well, I can't go back to Duq. and it's too late to apply most places, so probably Clark for a semester. But yes, thank you for being a good and honest friend! *HUG* It's nice to know you really care.

Basically, what Jake said. If it helps at all, at least Michelle will be there and Clark isn't that bad for a two-year college.

And I HATE the idea of having to live at home next year and not have friends
You'll make friends if you try hard enough. I know I did make some great friends at Clark.

*sends hugs* I know it sucks to live at home, since I am living it right now, but you never know, good things may come out of it.

Thanks

Thanks Joelle!
Just curious, will you be here next year?

I'll either be going to Western or UW, depending on whether I get accepted to UW or not.
