Last night I lost one of my best friends
All because I was being selfish apparnently.
I didn't think I was and still don't.
But that ain't good enough ...and now shits over.
And it is utter pants.

[Lisheo]

Meh, I've had that sort of business before, Wanderer. But there's no problem in the world that can't be fixed, and I say that with absolute surety. So don't give up hope.

Because of the 2 inches of snow we got on Saturday, school starts late, which bumps me from getting paid for a whole day to a half day. On the plus side, i get paid for a half day for 1.5 hours of work.

Also, Mrs. Luxury Yacht is sending me to the post office to mail packages today, on the busiest day of the year. I look forward to standing in line for a couple of hours.

[Hinter]

I didn't get any sleep at all last night. And It wasn't because I was drinking bottles of scotch or making sweet love to a laydee, I just couldn't sleep. Hence I am in the office 3 hours early but can pretty much guarantee I won't be going home 3 hours early.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...........

Crappy powercut last night that went on for hours. Managed one post before computer died, then the lights and everything else went too.

Weirdly, next door had enough to power the huge light-up snowman in their front garden, while everyone else was stuck in the dark. Maybe there's a link...

[Tsundoku]

I am well and truly over this place. The worst part is that when I come back here after leave on the 5th, I'll be looking at another 5 months here.

Fuck.

My back is well and truly jacked. I need a backeotomy.

[teholbeddict]

It has been -41 here for three consecutive days! Exposed skin can freeze in under one minute and we have at least another week of this weather to go! I hate winter!!!!!

[LadyMTL]

Oooh Tehol, I sympathize! I live through cold temps for practically 6 months of the year (yay Montreal) but thankfully not as bad as -41. Hang in there, and try not to lose any fingers or toes!

As for me...I'm bummed because this is the 3rd Christmas in a row that I won't be spending with my boyfriend cos he's still in England.

Fear, nerves
there's this ball of unease lurking in the pit of my stomach, really messing me up.
I have to tell my parents something terrible, they're going to go mad, shout and roar, possibly threaten me with the big get out of my house.
Their anger isn't what I fear, its the knowledge that i'll have really let them down, they'll be disappointed, I mean really let down.
I'm in the final year of my course, I've managed to bluff and cheat my way thus far, hell I even sort of passed myself on my placement year, but when its come to the crunch, actually knowing what in the hell I'm studying. I fail, I mean your failboat has arrived fail. Its been in my head to quit since 2nd year, but I thought I'd stick the course and get someithng for it, working last year in an office broke my heart, and that's the most likely location for any job relavent to my degree will be. I can't do office work, I make good enough money playing electrician, I love working on a building site, its simple, its rewarding to see your work at the end of the day. It all came to a head these last few weeks, I was landed with a piece of coursework, I simply can't finish, I dont know how, I don't understand it at all, I don't want to understand it, that's the key, all I want is to go back to work. Now this coursework was due monday, Its half done (the piss easy half that my dog could do) I'm a master bullshitter so I could bluff an extension, but I can't do the work. Its worth 50% of the module, and theres no way in hell I can get enough in the exam to make it up. So I'm pulling the plug, something I should have done 2 years ago.
Whats messing with my grove:
How the hell do I tell my folks?

Ouch. That sounds brutal. There's no easy way to have that conversation. Hopefully if you explain to them how much happier you'll be working instead of going to school, they'll understand that it's pointless to do it if it makes you miserable. Of course, this will be tougher if they've been paying for school. Good luck, hopefully they'll understand.

It's going to be painful no mater what. The thing is, the anticipation is as bad. Get it over with as soon as possible, minimize your suffering. There is no good way or good time that wil magically make it easier. Just sack up and go for it, get past the explosion as quickly as you can so you can move on to the healing.

And remember - these are your parents. They love you. They might be super pissed for a while, and things might be very unpleasant, but a year from now it will be just another memory. They will get over it at some point.

Good luck.

I've had to tell my parents hard things before also. I was in a different situation but a part of mine also including failing a year of university. I chickened out and wrote them a letter. I had been crashing at a friends place for a week and I couldn't face them in person so I wrote a letter then went out to lunch with my mum.

I am with RLY, there is no easy way to do it, but they are your parents and no matter what it will be okay in the end. Just sit them down and tell them how you were feeling about your course and what has happened. You never know, your parents might surprise you, but even if they are upset and things are bad for a while. It will get better, believe me.

[Mentalist]

indeed, Maccy
As corny as this may sound, your parents will always want what's best for you.
if you explain to them that you can't do this school subject, and that you're actually happy working, they'll understand. they may be dissapointed, but they'll understand, and they wil try to do tehir best to help you.

like others said, also, thinking about it is not helpful.

I know what you're going through, I had to tell my parents recently that I'm a total moron and I missed application deadlines to law schools. By a month.
I got to say it over the phone, which is easier, but it still took a while to actually say it.

If I didn't manage to put it out of my head for now to deal with my last exam, that'd be messing with my groove something major right now.
As it is, i'm only furious about inabilty to fix my sleeping patterns. evidently, it takes a week to adjust them. if so, then HOW THE HELL DID I MANAGE TO MESS THEM UP IN JUST TWO DAYS??????



sorry about the yelling but I have to yell somewhere, and yelling in my house would not be appreciated by my remaining hosemates, I'm sure...

This is totally messing with my groove, man.

You big girl!

Yep!

Oh, and Macros: in my huuuge experience of breaking bad news to my parents: get it over with, it won't be half as bad as your fear makes it. Keeping schtum and the feeling this brings is so much worse. And they'll want to help you.

Hey Macros just read your thread, I wanted to say I'm sorry your going through this right now. Obviously you'll have to tell them and it won't be easy but it really sounds like you love the work you're doing now. Try to keep that in mind whatever else happens. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being an electrician or working on a job site. There is no point continuing with something you know you can't be happy with, obviously you've tried and it hasn't worked. You're parents just want what's best for you, at the moment they may think uni and this degree is it. Explain to them and once they get over their intial reaction and see that you've given this alot of thought, they'll eventually understand that this choice is in fact what's best for you. They love you and in the end it will all work itself out. Just tell them sooner rather than later as carrying this around on your shoulders is not helping you at the moment. The imagined is often much worse than reality. I hope everything works out for you!
