The holidays.

[alexmegami]

Well, while these holidays were good, they have also been stressful. Between arguing politics with everyone, having to defend Patrick against pretty much the same, and enduring my grandmother's thinly-veiled (and once blatant) racist and anti-gay remarks... I'm starting to wonder if I'll be able to do it again next year without [verbally] blowing someone's head off.

Patrick, you really need to stop making yourself sound worse than you are. It has now literally caused arguments between me and my mother.

Furthermore, the stress from the online application fiasco hasn't dwindled any. While I know I won't find out anything for at least another few hours, I am infinitely worried that they will not be able to (or will refuse to) get rid of the incorrect information, which is $80 out of my pocket.

In addition, my mother and stepfather have apparently not conferred on how much aid they can give me for university, up to the point where Dad has told me that they won't be able to pay for any of it, and Mom denied this when I brought it up. So who knows what the fuck is going on there.

Overall, I feel very, very out of control of my situation right now, with no way to make it right again.

I hate tension between family and significant other, and intra-family tension over politics. I'm glad there's only one relative who I really tend to clash with on politics and stuff -- he's right-wing, but everyone else is pretty moderate.

I'm actually fairly right wing as well. I just *hate* the current government everywhere, always.
