Hi Michelle! Sorry I haven’t really been keeping up with your blogs for the past few days! I had some assignments which were really bleh.

I should just let my databases fix themselves. 😛

Eeep. I don’t think four years (or more) is long to do a degree. My orthodontist had to take 5 years for dentistry and another 5 years for orthodontics. And many degrees here – engineering pretty much – is five years. Perhaps it’s because it comes with a diploma – but four years isn’t a lot at all. My parents would think about money. *nods*

I’ll be only 21 or 22 when I graduate. I was even thinking of doing another degree…

I had only five hours of sleep the other day when I was trying to finish my assignment… eek.

Too bad your father didn’t know the songs; he must have had a really bad day to be irritated by that. 🙁

Now this is better. Here’s my block of Michelle text! Thank you!

I’m sorry your dad is being so frustrating about your education. I’m sure he only wants the best for you but I understand how irritating it can be. He should just trust that you will do whatever is best for you.

Show him a pharmacy degree — that takes, like, at least seven years to complete. Or how long it takes to become a doctor, much less a specialized one. Or a veterinarian. Apparently your dad does not realize that degrees are taking longer these days. What with the increased amount of information in different fields, there are increasing amounts of majors than cannot be complete in four years — your dad really needs to look into what he’s talking about…before he tries to talk about it. u_U

Tons of people take more than four years to complete a degree, I don’t see what’s the big deal about taking a little more time, it’s not like you’re spending a decade at school for a bachelor’s degree. My mom is sorta like that too except probably not as hardcore about it as your dad 🙁 Kinda know how you feel.

I’m sorry that your Dad is being a tight ass. I didn’t get along with my own Father until after I moved out of the house. I’m glad I’m not the only one that falls asleep due to the heat. I think that’s why I’ve been so tired lately despite the amount of sleep. Hopefully having the AC on will help for me.

As for my Monday. Well like yours, it sucked. Parents don’t give their child the medicine they need before shipping him to the daycare, so we get to deal with the off the wall hyperness, non listening, effects. I was at my wits end by the end of the day with that combined with everything else. I’m glad to be home and look forward to another day though :).
