Yaten's Ramblings
I'm your friendly neighborhood yaten, webmistress of www.yatenkou.net.
pain in the a**...
My web host has promised me that after renewing my domain over a week ago, that they'll finally have confirmation that I'll have access to my account at the end of the week. -_- What a pain in the a**.

Ugh...

On a more personal note... I've decided to switch majors in school, and I'm trying to decide how to tell my parents. They're helping me pay for school, and I'm really worried they're going to be super angry. sad They tend to not support me in any decisions I make, and I have a feeling a lot of screaming will be involved.

Pray for me everyone... because I've decided tomorrow will be D-Day here. I'm going to present my parentals with information on a local university that an art instructor lady person at the Art Institute suggested as being better than them, and cheaper too. I'd like to major in illustration, and perhaps get a minor in graphic design.

That said... I may be gone for a few days. Cuz if my parents DO freak out... I'm jumping in my truck, heading over to the Grendel's place and staying there for a few days until they cool off and get a grip. He lives about 15 hours away though... so that means, i'm gone for at least like... 3 days.

    Hi yaten,

    heart BIG HUGGLES heart !

    I had to go through the same ordeal in grad school with my parents when I told them I wanted to quit with a master's degree instead of going on for a Ph.D.. It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life, especially since I also decided to tell them that I was on depression medication/Prozac due to the stress. I was very relieved afterward though and wished I had the courage to tell them sooner (i.e. back when I was in an undergrad in the hated major which I eventually went to grad school in).

    I don't think I could have told them sooner though since I was just in regular therapy without any medication when I was an undergrad --;. Best of luck with D-Day heart !
