Well Thanksgiving was really laid back. (the way I like it) It was actually the first I've really spent with my family in 2 years. Last year was the hospital & the year before that I went out the night before, since alot of my friends where in town, got really wasted (compliments of my best friend), got into a fightfor trying to help a guy up, had a HUGE FIGHT with my ex b/c she saw me with a new girl, drank more, passed out at this girls house (the last couple hours I had to have explained to me later) & over slept so my fam went on to my Aunts house without me.... 
So I've prety much decided to push back trying to do the art school 'till Feb...I just feel like I'm having to rush try & get grant, scholarships or what ever.. There's no way I can afford it since I can't work still & my parents are stretching it thin right now too so they can't help me out. I would really rather NOT take out all these damn loans & I really don't think I'll be able to get much in the way of financial aid by Jan..
There's a mid session in Feb. & I can start then. I just want to be able to start when I don't feel like I'm under the gun, ya' know? I'm just gonna play it by ear & just see what happens I guess.
On another note..Gabrielle finally told mom that she'd be moving out once we find someone else to help out with getting me to & from places & stuff..It's been such a back & forth & up & down situation with her that I'm sad but not..
I feel like I should be but..I'm not. I'll miss her, we've been through ALOT in 3 years BUT..I dunno..She talked it over with mom & I think she's gonna move out in Jan.-Feb....The hollidays are going to just be weird...I just don't really know how I should feel...

Sounds like a wise idea to hold off on school. Milk the system for all it's worth-- financial aid is a beautiful thing.
