2 hrs - painting practice again! didn't go very quick today cos my eyes are smarting like crazy *_* i feel like i've just cried. and my drapery sucks like shit '_'

anyway, BIG NEWS: i will NOT be going to Boston anymore.
not cos my parents can't afford it, not cos they don't allow me to.
but cos i don't want to anymore.

the cost is climbing like a starved monkey up a banana tree. waaaaay past the 4k they said it wld be. they want us to take a $2400 SQ airplane. you know the double deck one with the games room? executive economy class?
yes, sounds lovely, but i know what i'm going there for. i know what i'm going there as. i'm a student going there to study. ass you rubbish travel agencies, booking a flight 3 weeks before we take off?! yes, tell us that you don't have other flights with 22 seats, but they shld have booked when we planned this months ago. the air tickets shld have been settled before i bought my siggraph ticket.

so NO, i won't let them eat up my daddy's hard earned money like that. who knows what the hell they'd be planning for us in newyork. Hiding the budget hostels from us and giving us hotels might just be it. they're so irresponsible abt us students i feel angry for my dad. it makes me even angrier he doesn't really seem to be angry =_= ROAR. THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE I WANT TO CALL THAT AUDREY YONG AND DEMAND REASONS FOR DISGUSTING PLANNING SKILLS.

i don't deserve to be treated so nice by my parents. i've done nthin really good, not accomplished anything awesome, never been totally filial.
so i'm at least gonna keep my head and decide for both them and i this time. i know i'm going there to learn. i don't need executive seats?! hell, i'd take some obsure China airline if need be.
Roar. irresponsible asses. what do they think our parents are?!
i'm glad i'm not going to Boston. i will go to Siggraph one day, as a student or independent, but definitely making sure i'm safe and not cheated by some irresponsible travel agency trying to eat my parent's money.
