My best friend was kicked out of her house and didn't tell me. I know I'm on the other side of the country, but learning off of Facebook hurts.
I have never hated moving as much as I hate it right fucking now.

Iron Sky reviews continue to be mixed. Everyone critic seems to pick a particular actor that they do like, then claims that the rest are horrible. The taste in what a B-movie should be also varies from critic to critic.
The weird thing is that I gather that the critics were just confused by some scenes as to whether or not they should be taking Iron Sky seriously, and how/if it matches their idea of a comedy. I guess it's going to be one of those things I'll have to check for myself.

Yeah. We sorta knew it was coming, but to be actually given the news...
Dunno. The family's sorting things out. We'll see. It's kind of a problem, given that he'll pick up every bug going.

Yeah, I'm okay. And grandad's okay with it, he knows, and he's more worried about what'll happen with grandma than anything else. Grandad's always been the grandparent I'm closest to, especially cos I was born on his 62nd birthday. It's not really a shock, just sad that we're finally at the point that we've been told he doesn't have much time.

Well, thanks to severe financial difficulties and the selfish personalities of both my brother and mother the prospect of going to UBC is pretty much impossible now. That's okay, it's not like I had dreams in life or anything. That being said, I am now picking the cheapest, shittiest Uni here that offers Environmental Sciences so I can take scholarship money, use it to pay off debts (hopefully because fuck, I really don't know what we're going to do), get a job, and not have too much student debt because UBC is too expensive.
I know my sister gave up getting a car, moving out, and highschool so I guess I didn't exactly give up a whole lot when I say I'm fucking pissed off, but god dammit, I'm fucking absolutely pissed of how fucking selfish human beings can be to people related to them who they fucking raised/grew up with. Seriously, you don't need half the fucking things you waste money on. Like hey, that $200 cotton cardigan? The ten dollar ham? FUCK YOU. The fact that I have to give up these things really pisses me considering I didn't ask for whole fucking lot.
Pretty much the shittiest day in a while. Done ranting now. Excuse me as I go explore the wonder of fucking Grant MacEwan university or U of A, depending on which costs less. Fantastic choices I have here, really. Fuck.

Fuck! (Is there any way you could transfer from the local uni to UBC?)
I started looking at scholarships and financial aid for UBC because I'm creepy -- are you still in high school? (If you apply straight from high school they offer what looks like nearly a full-ride for "qualifying students" -- of course, you and your family need to fill out shit and you need essentially a letter of recommendation.)
If you did decide to transfer, it looks like there's a chance to get a one-time 5000$ money, which is a good chunk of a semester's tuition.
They also seem to be pretty liberal with regard to helping students in a shitty financial spot.
:C Shit... it sounds like I'm more invested in your education than your family, and I'm a random internet stranger. Fuck.

Probably. Here's to hoping! Otherwise I think I will learn to appreciate the erm, lovely Alberta scenery. hahaha. Funny joke. I will actually shoot someone if I can't.
XD Thank you Nathan. That actually makes me a feel a lot better. I just was so set on UBC, and I've checked those out. The thing is that UBC gets the most full IB students in all school of Canada. I know one kid in my school who is a math wizard (no lies, he got full marks on the AP test last year and has the highest grade in all of our math classes. He got an article in the city newspaper about it too) and he couldn't afford UBC even with scholarships and family financial aid, (he did a whole whack of tutoring hours in high school too, so it wasn't because he was just a math geek, in fact, he's being paid by my school to tutor students in math...) so even if I applied, I doubt I'd get it over everyone else who applies. In addition to that, we really need the money to fix the cars, get a better apartment, pay my stupid brother's tuition, and then in three years or so my younger sister is going to need money for uni too.
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Please. The Okanagan campus for Environmental Sciences looks so beautiful.
My biggest issue was never admission, but maintaining something like the best marks. UBC has always hit top 5 for Canada, right up there with McGill and UT. And they're the only school on the west coast, so they always get loads of students with 10x better marks and extra cirriculars than me. Unfortunately.
Actually, ngl Nathan thank you so much. I know most of the time I rant on here but I was so fucking set on UBC. I had even looked at plane prices for 2013 and all of that jazz. I was even tempted to contact my granddad who hates to admit I even exist. And mostly, it's my stupid brother who spends his money on useless stuff and my mother who is just an idiot who is ridiculously selfish. My dad actually busts his ass off to pay for our shit, but we're a family of ten people. Existing is costly. Just.. thanks. It really helps to just bitch somewhere.
