Holy s**t guys...I know this probably doesn't blow your minds but I'm going to University tomorrow =O
Don't you remember those days...where I was like 14? And my life consisted of worrying about starting highschool, Gaia, and whining about how boys don't like me? =O
WTF.
It's kind of ironic that I feel like this is such a huge step when I got pregnant at 16 and I don't remember having this nostalgic feeling, I was actually more excited than nervous. Right now I don't know why but I don't even feel ready for University.
On the other hand, I think part of the reason why I'm bummed out about going to University is cause I know I won't be living the University life. Like, I was willing to whole-heartedly give up the typical highscool life to be a mom but now this is where the prime time is supposed to be at. Ah well, I'm sure if I can get in a night out once every one or two months that will suffice. But then there's the fact that I see everyone on fb uploading pics of their spectacular dorms in amazing parts of Canada that I wanted so badly to go to. Like Jode going to Halifax...God I love the east coast of Canada and yet I've NEVER even been there!
I have a feeling that that's where I'm supposed to be.
WALL O TEXT!

I don't think I'll be able to go to school for years and years. :l
I was going to try school when Jesse got done next August but by then I'll probably be pregnant again so... no hope for me.

I started yesterday.
I had to spend 77 dollars yesterday on supplies for one of my art classes... and then I gotta spend more soon, I'll let choo know how much that comes out to once I do it. XD
Even though I'm happy and all to be doing something, the money thing stresses me out just a bit. Because it's my mom paying for everything. And my classes today are too spread apart it's going to be a bit of a hassle...
I was already saying yesterday it's time to drop out, lol, but only because I'm scared. Hopefully that won't last much longer. sweatdrop

Awe Torri, what kind of program were you thinking on taking? You never know, you guys could decide to hold off once Jesse Jr's more mobile lol.
And Bree, sorry to hear that finances are stressing you out. But I suppose if it might help, you could look at it as though your mom's covering your expenses because she knows it's a good investment for your future and I'm sure when you have a better education and are able to provide for yourself easily that will be payback enough smile ... are you stressed cause she can't afford it or cause you wish you could pay yourself?
PS; Orientation day went kiiind of awesome. I joined a bijillion clubs including some volunteering clubs, the GLTBQ (gay, lesbian, transgender, bisexual, queer/questioning) alliance thinger, annnddd ALMOST became a sexpert for the non-for-profit sex store that they have on campus...LOL.

Kinda both, actually. My mom can't afford it, it's already come out to 200 dollars now 'cause we went to buy more supplies yesterday, and we're still not done. ._.;
Annnd if I had money I could pay for it instead of my mom so she'd have money and wouldn't complain so much about having no money. xD
I wanted to go to a thing before school started for me where I could see stuff about the clubs on campus and join them. But I totally missed out on that and I don't know how to join them now. >< But uhm... sex store... that's kinda odd. o.O;

Well money comes and goes and a few years down the road that $200 will be forgotten about and it will be worth it so try not to sweat it. (Though trusssttt me, I get where you're coming from)
And not just any sex store! A non-for-profit sex store that doesn't inflate the prices of condoms, toys, lubes etc. And also, they provide minor counselling, any information regarding sexual activity and resources in the community for sexual health and wellness =D. So it's actually a pretty useful place for College/University students...I wouldn't mind being a part of it, I think it's really important that people become more open and less judgmental about sex.

Well, I'm adding the $200 to the $4000+ going into school just for this year, and the $300+ it was for books... xD I don't think it will all go away anytime soon. ><
I feel like pretty much everyone would know about that stuff though by then. x.x most people. But i guess the prices not being inflated is good for them.

Oh dude I feel ya, tuition was about $6500 plus over $700 for books for me. Add on the $600/month for childcare and I'm sucked dry. The laptop that I have I'm paying $1500 PER YEAR for JUST because they give you a new laptop after 2 years and because they program it for you...still, school's just a GIANT cash cow.
And ya, everyone SHOULD know by now...but a lot don't. You have no idea how many of my friends still think that the "pull out" method is legit even after I tried to convince them that me getting pregnant wasn't because Jake had "bad timing". Idiottsss...
But yes! I'm excited for the prices being lower. They have products in the store that you would have to pay $200 for in a regular adult shop but they sell it for $60. Boxes of condoms for like $5 instead of $25.

Omg Kate, what are you doing about Grace?
How's that work out?
Did you get one of those townhouses that's near campus that you rent with a bunch of other students? (That's what my sister did)
Or are you going to a local University?
I never thought how complicated it would be with a kid on the go... you just can't have a baby in a dorm.
You should go to the OHRC for discrimination against teenage moms. Then if you win you could live the university lifestyle AND have Grace.
Speaking of University lifestyle, I was talking to my Dad the other day and he was a bit loaded ... and I got him to admit that he smoked pot in university. It was pretty weird.. he didn't really "ADMIT" it, he just said that "Well, let's just say that 80% of kids in my generation tried it." Which implies that he did, which is good enough. I feel kind of mean though, you know, taking advantage of him after he was at a party with his Ironman friends.
On another note...
When I go to University, I uh... well let's just say I think the buzz from alchohol is really overrated. I don't like it, your eyesight just goes all fuzzy. I don't really feel it. And it's really hard to play shooter games with. What I'm saying is: Alchohol is not for me.
The point is...
HOW MANY THOUSANDS WILL I SAVE IN UNIVERSITY IF I DONT LIKE ALCHOHOL?
Eh? I'll save like $10 000 on alchohol expenses.
Kay that may be a bit exaggerated, but because alchhol is so expensive, I'll save a fair bit.
And I'm sure everyone here knows I'm a bit "different" so that's no biggie.
Every time Phil would introduce me to someone, I'm not joking, he would say "And this is my Autistic friend, Brad!"
What a d**k.

I'm living at home...so I'm alright as far as expenses go, it'll be a tight 4 years for cash, but if I can show self restraint I can even save money and come out debt free. Then work for a year while at home and not having to pay rent to save for enough money to put towards a down payment on a house.
Long story short, my parents are da bomb.
I've accepted that I'm not having the University lifestyle whatsoever (actually who am I kidding right now I'm bitter as ******** because the only one getting in my way is Jake).
I'm kind of tipsy right now...because Grace is sleeping and I feel like getting really shittered because if I do that maybe I wont focus so much on wanting to slit someone's throat.
Phil's big bro Keith goes to Durham College, which is the same campus as UOIT, which means I see him a lot. I've concluded that Phil's a poser, and gets most of his lines/jokes from Keith, except Keith usually uses them in more appropriate circumstances. He's also 10x hotter than Phil, so I really wanna ******** him. mm natives.
I don't talk to Phil =/ he's kind of douchy.
Your dad's right about the 80% of his generation...at that point they probably had noooo clue what any of the possible longterm consequences could be. Meh, not a big deal.

Ugh like I had NO IDEA how many people tried pot until grade 12.
I guess I'm one of the few that hasn't.
I don't plan to either.
