burn for you

it's been a flurry of phonecalls, texts and instant messages the past 2 days. they're all the same how-did-you-do?, congratulations!, where you going? - all in the same sequence, all answered with the same "i got b-b-c, thank you, and uni Y."

then there's silence on the other line, a pause, a heartbeat, then, why not uni X!? why uni Y!?
inwardly i say, why the hell not.

it's fine that other people say it, it is. but it sucks when people you think would trust you to be able to make your own decision tell you the same thing, that you have to think about being "practical" and "apply to the real world" and question not only the vibes and the chills you get from stepping onto its grounds, but the integrity of an up-and-coming university that's been known for its hands-on approach, its appeal to creativity.

you already decided for me 6 years ago, and again, 2 years ago.
it's my turn.

perhaps i'm just misdirecting anger.
perhaps i'm just having pms. (oh the perks of being a girl!)
perhaps i'm tired from the full day i had at work and tuition.

whatever it was, it was discouraging, and of all the people in the world, you should know how that feels.
