Flying the Friendly Skies
ok. I have to decide if I want to travel with my fellow students, or get my airfare and travel arrangements myself.
The difference is around $400. But then I have to find my ways to the hotels, and get airfare from Sydney to Melbourne. That might eat up the $400 I saved on flying there and back. Not sure.
Other than money, which are loans anyway, I could experience "the college life" in going with everyone.
So, do I try to save money, which in the long run I may not because of the incidentals, or just go with the college. If I did make my own airfare, I could stay longer, but then I'd have to pay for the hotel on my own........
Hmmm.
Decisions decisions.
On a totally different note, I felt like crap this morning. Probably was stressed out from yesterday. Found out my father was in the hospital, having a stent (or stint, not sure which) put in a clogged artery. Nice of him to tell us all three days later. I asked if he wanted me to go up there, and he said no. But my sister pointed out that he wouldn't say he wanted us there anyway, which means he probably does. We aren't a close family. We aren't an emotional family. He has yet to tell us he's proud of us (he's told his mother, through whom I've heard how he feels). So not sure how to feel I guess. Anyway he isn't in the hospital now. And not sure what I could do now, besides dealing with my drunk mother, because I know she's been drunk probably the entire time my dad was in the hospital. THat's how she deals with things. I thank goodness have not taken on that way of dealing with things. Although not sure my way is better or worse. Anyway, I didn't go up there this weekend. I did however get someone to cover my weekend in case I decide to go.
Sure does put things in perspective.
