talked to my dad today
should've known better.
ugh.
i told him i didn't know if i would pass chemistry. he got so preachy.
"blah blah blah, you're going to have to learn to kiss butts if its required blah blah blah these people influence your future blah blah maybe you should go to class blah blah blah."
ugh ugh ugh.
why is it that the people most quick to doubt me are my parents? i have been a 4.0 student who never gets in trouble my whole life. and i struggle in one class, what happens? he jumps on my case like i'm a slacker or im not trying or something. what an asshole
i have never said that before about my father
what an asshole
it felt really good
what an pompous, self-important asshole
*sigh*
that feels much better.
I did go to class. i don't know why the teacher gave me a 50 percent in attendance. i emailed him about it, but really i don't think he's going to change it. I did try. I studied for every test. i did every assignment. i attended class. that was all i could do. i tried talking to the teacher several times but he just dismissed me and implied that i was a below average student.
i did all that i could with the information that i had at the time. plus, there is more to life than school. I said that to my dad, but it only put him off track for a few seconds before he got back to his sermon. he asked me if i was stressed out about it, as if he was expecting me to feel my life to be unworthy of living because i might not pass a class.
no wonder that man is so unhappy.
it just really bothers me how ready my parents are to believe that i am not doing the best that i can, that i need some more sermons from them, some more of their shortsighted advice if i am to succeed in life. my mom hasn't been that bad recently, we've been getting along pretty well.
growing up i was the most trustworthy kid on the block
and yet my parents have never trusted me
never trusted me to do my work the best i can
never trusted me to set my own boundaries with my boyfriend
never trusted me that perhaps i have thoughts
an opinion
they wonder why i have always avoided being alone with them.
my dad sucks.
i have always wondered about him.
has he ever had a life?
what is his personality like?
does he have one?
is there anybody in there?
he's a weird guy. sometimes he really seems like a robot, completely devoid of any life force.
he's still an asshole, even if i feel sorry for him.

Yea that how I feel with my parents.I brought home a C in precalculus. My first C in a while so they go off on how i need to try harder but I don’t see the big deal. The rest of my classes are A’s and all of them are Advanced Placement. They jus don’t get that math isn’t my subject. But they were glad to hear I’m makin a B this nine weeks :)
I’m a college student too, and I still have to hear it from my dad as well. Sucks, huh. Especially since my Dad’s one emotion is Asshole. If he’s happy he’s a joking asshole, if he’s sad he’s a pity asshole, if he’s mad well you get the point. Best advice I can give you is to keep doing what you’re doing, the best you can. As long as you know you are trying hard it doesn’t matter what he says.
