You gotta understand, I live IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE until I move in June. This is the reason why this job was a total god-send for me.
Right now, I have no say in it. Nor do I want to cause a big deal over it. I talked with my ex-boss today, and he was saying how much the team is going to suffer without me there. I did a LOT for them, so they're very grateful, it just isn't good for business. Still hurts.
I just don't know how I'm going to afford anything. I'm really trying to think of things...he's sending me my final paycheck on the 25th, but after that I have nothing. Until I move in June, I'm basically fucked. I haven't even told my parents yet, because I hate to show people that I can't stick with things. Even if it wasn't my fault I got laid off, they were really proud of me, for once. I would hate to have them feel that they're burdened to pay for my expenses. I know they can't. I know well we can't afford it. So I don't want to tell them. The ONLY thing that has come good from this, is that I'll be able to focus more on my school, which really could use an extra nudge. But I need a job, badly.
And now it's back to square one.
It's not that you didn't want to stick to it, It wasn't your choice to leave. I think your parents would understand. They're not going to be disappointed in you over something that was totally beyond your control.
Aww babe, Im so sorry. I know how determined you were to do this. Can you get your money back from the promoter?
I know you probably wont want to hear this right now but there will be other shows. Right now maybe its not the ideal situation for you but there will be other opportunities. We've all been where you are in one way or another.

No, I need to do this, and I'm going to find a way to do it. I know most people would wait, but I can't. Giving up isn't like me - this is a huge road block, but I have to make it through. It doesn't matter that people would understand I can't compete, it matters to me that I would be letting myself down. Everyone knows I'm going to compete, and I've invested so much in this already there's no way I'm backing out.
I'm discouraged, deeply. But I'm not beaten yet.

if you were so wonderful perhaps they are willing to sponsor you?? Can you discuss that with them? Maybe they can help with suit and supplement costs... Just a thought.

I know that...it's just a mental battle with supposed failure, I guess. Even though I know it wasn't my fault, it's still a feeling I get. I just know my parents well enough by now to know that the first thing they're going to think when they find out is that I'm expecting them to pay for me, and they'll most likely have a panic attack, heh.

You know, that's a good idea, Michelle...I didn't think of that. I will talk to Paul (CEO) and find out what he says about it. That would be awesome.
