June 17, 2000 AAAAHHHH!!!! Hello all... I don't have much time, but I jsut thought I'd rant off a list of all the interesting things in my life. Lesse... most notably right now, I found out yesterday morning that becca's parents had desided our idea of me visiting her in three weeks wouldn't work. ...and by 11:58 I had bought tickets at a "one week before" price that was going to disapear at midnight, because the only way for the schedules to pretend to work was for me to go sooner.... NEXT FRIDAY!!!!! so yeah... a little over a hundred hours and I'll be in Georgia... oh my GOD! Anyway... yeah... so that was the sort of instant planing that could give one an ulser. Other than that... lesse... I'm finnaly bothering to learn to drive, finally bothering to earn some money, Justin gave me his old P200 computer, which is plenty good enough for me, I got my GED scores back... hehe, that was interesting, okay, I know it's the GED, but come on people, I got 98th in national persentile on, can you guess? The Writing Test You know, spelign: Gramor: all that good stuff, including a hand writen 200 word essay. Is that rediculous or what? And I got 90th persentile on math, it was rediculous, all I had to know was simple algebra codes, you know, like X is always 24, and Y is always 25, unless they're in perenthesses, meaning the reverced the alphabet so X is 3 and Y is 2. Simple stuff like that is all you need to know! So yeah, five tests, testing weather I'm equivalant to a highschool grad, and I got nothing lower than 90th percentile, on all those academik topix I've always hated and ignored for the most part. anyway, I'll leave my older rantings here for now... ~z~ Okay, it's May 5th, and methinks I'm going to completely rewrite this page... at least for the most part... So I was saying before how I'm probably going to massage school next year... and that the only icky part is the price tag[0], which I was thinking at that point, between the basic training corse, and a fallow up course, was going to be like $11,000. ...weeeellll... I've desided that's too futher mucking much. I want to become a Massage Therapist, and then go on to learn more (Massage Therapy is Sweedish massage, a massage tecnique that is okay, but nothing remarkable if you ask me.) That $11,000 price tag was including another training course in some swooft deep muscle therapy, but that training course was about $1,000 a week for a three week intencive training course (40 hours a week of training.) I got a massage from somebody who specializes in that kind of deep muscle therapy, and it was good... but not over $1,000 per week of training good. Soooo... I'm thinking more along the lines of getting the cheepest damn training I can, because my basic idea is, become a Liscenced Massage Therapist, i.e., brake my Unschooler code and go to a school mostly for the piece of paper that says I'm allowed to do something, and then go to workshops and stuff to learn other tecniques; shiatsu, Tui-Na and On Mo (two chinese tecniques that I'm spelling retchedly) acupressure, etc. *sigh* But that basic training to get my piece of paper is still gonna be like $5,000. And see here's the thing. If I stay home, my mom will keep paying my living expences. But if I did something outragious, like move down to Atlanta and go to massage school there, an hour and a half from the love of my life who I miss terribly every second of my life when I'm not with her, which has been the vast majority of my 18 years on this planet, and even the vast majority of the nearly 2 years I've known her... if I desided to go to massage school in Atlanta, I would be about 70 miles away from her, instead of 600. However, my mom wouldn't pay my rent, and I wouldn't have access to a car, which I might, probably will, if I stay here.... *Sigh* anyway, so basically, I'm gonna get some money out of my dad, but not that much, maybe half the tuition where-ever it is I go, or something like that. I don't think that'll change much depending on where I go. So on the one hand I could be near becca (but not close enough for it not to be long distance phone rates,) but need to be near enough to the school to bike it, walk it, or get a ride, need to be near to whatever (probably minimum wage) job I could get, and have to pay for rent, food, etc.... and on the other hand could spend another year away from the one I love, and have to live with my mother another year, but I would have access to a car, have my rent and maybe my food paid for, and probably be able to work for $10 an hour.
Of course... that's the same list I had about two months ago, minus considering normal colleges, taking the G.E.D., and the work I've actually gotten done in my room. *sigh* Oh, and tomorrow I'm leaving for a week... and then, 6 days after I get back, stuart, hopefully justin, and possibly morgan, are all coming to visit me for a week or so. I mean, I'm not trying to complain about them visiting, I'm gonna love it, and I'll probably even injoy this workshop thingy I'm going to this week, but... AAARRRGG!!! I'm so damn frusterated, I need to get stuff done, I need some money, and I have no one to blame but myself! And I need a computer and my own phone line, if I live on my own it's an obvious thing, all yee friends of mine are on here... and if I stay home, well.... let's just say I've been using my mothers computer, we only have one phone line, and she earns her living at home - on this computer. yeah... *sigh* so there we go, bitch, bitch, bitch. My life. "Wuv, twuuue wuvv" ~z~ I proclaim NICK... [0] That's right, it has a big head.
