Well dad is a little bit of an a-hole, he just wanted "better" for me... whatever that means.
I am the first in my family to go to college, and while I have never been rich or pampered I am smart. I got into a very nice school based on grades and an academic scholarship, I started screwing off because I could do the assignment the night before and get a B. Well as time went on I hated college more and more and I was inconvenienced by homework and papers, I wanted to read and learn but not to have to answer to anyone...
I have lived in the real world but I recently came to the conclusion that college education or not, at no time in school did they ever tell me how to read a gas bill, or electric bill or things like that. I had an apartment but I paid the landlord and everything else was included. I just never had this much responsibility. I could always ask my mom for help if I ever had an emergency situation but to do so would be to prove my dad right, I "should have never gone to pittsburgh"
So I didn't cancel yet, I am looking into a place called bidwell training academy, they are much cheaper and they start in september, I am going to train under this chef until school time and decide whether I should go or I should stay under him.
My first night is tomorrow. I am a little nervous because he isn't bringing me in early to see prep or to get ready for anything I am coming in and service will likely start around 5:30. I am working a fryer which I was told is easy but I haven't done it before so tomorrow could be awesome it could be terrible, I am hoping for a good night though.  |
