Wow, look at all these updates!

Everything is so confusing at the moment, which is why I'm trying to put up stuff I think is important as it happens. xD

So Dad has basically said "I know you must be feeling really shitty right now, but just think of this as a new beginning rather than a failure!"
And he's also saying that they should enrol me in the Certificate of University Preparation. Not only that, but he thinks that it's probably better than I did that before starting on a degree anyway as it would give me a Calculus certificate and open up access to other papers!

I still want to get away from home because things with Mum are the way they are, but I also don't want to spurn Dad and his good will towards actually getting me into university.
This Certificate of University Preparation is six months and he's suggesting I should spend the rest of that time working... If I can hold out for six months, maybe I can make my move after that? Because that's more or less what I was planning anyway, except I wouldn't have the money to pay for the CUP course this year.

I really don't know. xD

Good news!

The local high school has agreed to take me in for just English classes, solely for the one paper I need... Which means I can go to university this year!

The question is, do I want to? I'm starting to think it might be better either way to raise some money this year and then start university next year.
I would have more life experience going into uni and I'd also not be as reliant on my parents to pay my way through.
The other point is that if I do go to university this year and Mum pays, I'm going to feel obliged to stay at home and keep my end of the deal.
So we'll see what happens, considering that she has said that she doesn't feel she can justify supporting me through university...
It could just be something she said in the heat of the moment and will go back on later.

Again, life is confusing but it's at least heading in a good direction, I guess. xD
