Life Comes At You Fast

Ok so it's 8:30am and I'm back in MI at my friends Amanda and Michael's place. I haven't found a place yet, but I have some potential places to check out this week. I'm up here for the week then heading back home this weekend for Jenny's baby shower. Work is going well, I'm happy to see that it won't be terribly cold this week. I had my first round interview with Green Corps on the 31st and then found out the next day that I'm invited to the second round interview in Boston on the 17th and 18th of this month. I have to pay for my transportation there, but they'll provide housing and carpool from the airport. I was just irritated when I told my rents about it because they were pissed that they weren't paying for the transportation so they don't think I should do it. I just feel like once again, money is going to be an issue for why they don't want me to do something. One of my friends suggested that perhaps my parents just don't want me to move away, but I know that it's definitely not that. My dad just wants to keep controlling my life because he's "the dad" and because he wasn't around when I was growing up to be a dad. But whatever, fuck that, I'm so sick and tired of my parents trying to control my life and make my decisions. What's more ironic is when my dad says, "You are an adult, and it's your decision, but..." which means you should really do what I tell you to do. And then he get's on my case about grad school and that I must go to grad school, that he doesn't want me to mess up my life by making stupid decisions, and he doesn't want me to loose sight of my goal to grad school. What I would really like is for him to just back off, I will go to grad school. I'm applying to U of M and OSU, but I'm also considering Green Corps. Also, what I would really like is just some support, but I guess that's just too much to ask.
