anger is boiling to the point of despair

The highlight of my summer was going to be a gutair camp I have been anticipating since the begining of the year. A teacher with a doctor's degree in music would have taught me the basics in a week so I could advance my studies into classical gutair. But my mother thinks I'm so irresponsible that she has cancled it off. I won't cry over it because

I can totally relate to such creative frustration!!

I got the amazing opportunity last semester to study at Oxford. While there, I leeched myself onto Oxford's comedy scene...just hoping to make friends and do some improv. I got recruited by the Oxford Revue...the Monty Python, Rowan Atkinson Oxford Revue!! They--and the Oxford Imps, with whom I spent a lot of time--go to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival every summer. It is a dream of mine to perform there...but even if I got the OK from the Oxford people, my mom has forbidden it. She knows how much it means to me, but her rationale is, you have one more year of school left, you're broke...hence you need to work, earn money and stash it away. I mean I love my mom dearly but it breaks my heart when she's like..."oh...maybe next year" because all of my contacts won't be there next year.

Grr...

Anyhoo...enough about me. Good luck with the guitar! I'm sure you won't let this stumbling block get in the way of your art.

But still...you have every right to be angry. :)

That's so sad but Jesus, you must have so much self control, I would have gone absoloutly nuts if my mother had got in the way of something as important as that. Poor you.

Actually Im quite impulsive, but if I had back talked her she might have hit me. I wish I was as bold as you.

I'm hardly bold but if it came to something that was really important to me then I would stand my ground definitly.
