Welp, it's that time again. Catching a bus tonight down to good old North Carolina to spend New Years with my mate. I've been looking forward to this trip for ages, and it wouldn't have been possible without some help from you guys. Especially thanks to Roph. Might pop on now and then if I can while I'm there, but no promises. Otherwise, will be gone until I return home about the 9th.
That said, I'm not really sure if I'll be coming back after I return home. There's been a massive sword held over my head for some time now, and it's only by miracle that the thin thread holding it up hasn't snapped yet. I've not done so well grade-wise in school for the past two years, to the point where I am no longer able to go back until I get an improved transcript from somewhere else. In other words, I failed the only college I got accepted at. But I've not told my parents this yet. Instead I told them that I'm taking a year off from college due to the huge stress I'd been under while there. I was (am) dead scared of telling them the truth. But, I can't keep that lie going forever, especially when loans are coming in due because of me no longer being classified as a student. So, I promised that I would come clean about everything whenever my brother returned from his own college (so that I had some support during everything), and he'll be home by the time I return from my winter trip.
I honestly have no idea how everything is going to turn out. Might go well enough and I get forgiven, or it might go very badly and I get kicked out right then and there. Mother's prideful and easily hurt, though loving in her own way, while my dad is just an utter selfish asshole who I swear just views the rest of us as obligations rather than family. I'm scared as all hell, and to be honest I just hope I can keep my promise without chickening out again.
So, see you folks around some time. Hopefully I'll get some online time before the 9th.
