Eh, my dad pulled the "I'm paying for your college" deal yesterday, and I pulled the "Fine, I'll pay you back after college when I get a job".

...CMU's tuition is not going to be easy to pay back. But (as I'd hung up on my mom earlier after a really quick I'm-tired-I-don't-want-to-talk-about-this-I'm-going-to-sleep-good-night), I had to text him and explain that I do not need people trying to carve a path out for me.

I just want to do what I want to do. If that involves loosening up on my grades, then so be it. I want to get more involved on the campus, and not just be holed up in my room (like I often am; engineering students do that a lot) doing work.
