So I thought that if I got rejected by Western then I would become incredibly depressed. And for maybe half an hour, I was. But then I realized that I need to turn this into an opportunity to learn. I’m no longer a child or a teenager, I can’t afford to feel shitty about stuff like this and let things get to me. I have to take charge and learn from experiences like these. So today I applied for 4 jobs, and planned my schedule for Fall quarter at SSCC to try to retake some classes to improve my GPA (if successful this quarter and fall quarter, I can improve my 2.92 all the way up to a 3.73, and this is certainly a decent possibility). Despite what I thought would be a setback, I truly think my life took a step in a positive direction today.
I wish I was talented enough at something to be able to vent my frustration into art.
Didn’t get into Western. This is shitty.
I think I’m starting to develop trust issues. And that’s not good.
Why is this not the first time that someone I care about decides to just ignore the fact that I even exist without even telling me why? Am I not even worth an explanation? I don’t know whether to be fucking pissed, or incredibly depressed. So I’m just going to do both for awhile.

we’re terribly sorry, but you can’t put your disobedient child in the stowaway luggage, you’re just going to have to carry on your wayward son

A student in the I.B. Program heads to class.
The International Baccalaureate Program offers advanced students a chance to take courses more advanced than regular Advanced Placement courses, with extra emphasis on leadership principles and knowledge theory. The difficulty and quantity coursework for the program often exceeds college level work for many students.
This has lead to criticism from some parents who feel the program expects too much of their kids too soon and robs them of a childhood. Billy Stenson, pictured above, is only 13 years old but shows signs, both mental and physical, of precocious development. The I.B. Program loses about 60% of children who start it within the first year, and a further 20% before graduation.
Still, the program has produced world leaders and geniuses such as Ken Jennings, Jeopardy millionaire and Kim Jong-un. That last sentence is real by the way, those are its two most famous grads.
