Updates (and venting)

Lets see.... I'm still waiting to hear from NMSU about financial aid, but I have started really looking into the whole traveling abroad to learn Spanish. I began looking at attending school in Mexico City for the Spanish Immersion program, as well as potentially trying to attend classes there (under scholarship to attend for free). Now, 1/3 of my family is indifferent to this idea as they feel it is just another one of my random "oooh! shiny" impulse moments. The other 1/3 is hesitantly suggesting that it might be a semi-decent idea if I don't get shot or killed. The other 1/3 is completely and utterly opposed to the idea to go so far as to get in my face and make me cry over it. Now I am not a big crier by any means. And I will say there are very valid points and concerns BUT I still feel that regardless of those one should not act the way they acted upon this idea. As for those of you who know me, I love a challenge and to get in my face and say "I challenge you to go. Because you will get there and come running home in a week if you aren't gang raped multiple times and sold"... Is the surest way I know to get me to move to fucking Mexico. I was so upset and hurt over this. I have considered the risks and HAVE not made any decisions yet. But I do not feel it is EVER okay to get in someones face like that. If you have valid concerns and fears sit down and address them with me. Show me the data, don't post the crap in a passive aggressive manner publicly all over facebook after getting in my face and saying very cruel, inappropriate comments. I have plans, and I am very methodological when I put my mind to it. Trust me to do my research, evaluate my options and weigh my choices before I make any decision. Respect that I am an adult and I can live my life how I want to... and you getting in my face and challenging me, calling me names, informing me that I am just asking for it... You have no right. I don't care how much a part of my life you are, how much you have contributed to the raising of me. My parents don't even pull that crap so why should you get that right? I am a person, and I have made mistakes but I would like to think that your input in raising me has contributed enough common sense that I wont run off half-cocked. UNTIL you challenge me. Then that is a different story, because upon a challenge all thought goes out the window. Argh. I really don't want to get too much into this.. but I did want to vent and just say, Guess what, I'm still considering it. Love ya.
