This is brilliant.
I got accepted into Waterloo in december, because initially it was planned that start in January. However, because of various reasons after a talk with an academic advisor, I decided to delay till Fall ‘07. All this time, my parents were the ones who pushed me to apply for Univ in Canada and all.
Come July 26th and my parents sandbag me with the news that though they can splash together enough to cover my tuition and lodging during the first year, they don’t know what’s going to happen next year and if they’ll be able to pay for my tuition even.
7 months, I was told nothing. Infact, if anything, parents thought it was best that they not diminish my hopes or anything; no. They thought it was best to fuel them instead.
So, i’m in tatters. Again. 3 continous summers of misery. Should’ve known, should’ve seen a pattern.
So i’m pretty much not going to Canada then.
im just speechless.
*hugg* you talk to me okay,i’ll flaunt various crazy avatars and hopefully,convince you to think your life isnt that miserable cause you have gay people like myself around?
no?
oh dear. just *hugg*

Awww…….I’ll say the line that everyone says at moments like these and one feels like slapping em across the face thinking that for them its sooo easy to say it since theyre not feeling an inch of what you are……..”Everything happens for the best”……..and it is true.

can i just say, i know exactly how you feel? and i’m not saying that for the sake of saying that, i hate how people take a stab at empathy having no idea what the other person’s going through.but i’ve been dealt the same blow.worse though, i had to go and come back after my first year in the states due to financial reasons. if you ever need to wallow in self pity with someone, you know where to find me.hahaha.
on a lighter note, have you read trainspotting?the movie is a masterpiece, but dude, the book.a must read.i think you’ll like it.you’ll prolly have to scrounge around for it though. i couldn’t find it anywhere in lahore.keep writing.
