Last night, I had words with Nwlinkvxd. Really bad words, and we both went to bed pretty...pissed.

The problem was this: I complain constantly about how I live, right? This is starting to wear on Nwlinkvxd. I live with my parents, have no friends, and I hate being bossed around (I have a bedtime, a phone time, still share a room with my sister who's 16, share a very small shower with my sister and dad while my mother gets the huge upstairs one, I got told what major to be because a French major wouldn't be successful).

The info: This fall, I'm going to a junior college (2years) at home (where I will still live with my parents) because that is basically their plan. I wanted to go to a UC or CSU, but my mother fundametally shot it down by saying that my SAT scores and grades weren't high enough (1140 score, 3.8 GPA...what do you think?), and I never applied. Also, Nwlinkvxd lives in San Jose- three and a half hours away. When we're apart, we fight constantly, and I'm pretty miserable. I complain about how my parents treat me, and say that I just wish I could move up to San Jose with him, but I never act on it (as Nwlinkvxd says). He knows that I've paid for summer and fall classes at the junior college already, but....

The question: Come spring semester 2005, should I-

(a) Tell my parents I'm leaving, move in with Nwlinkvxd (he's living in an apartment with some other guys), open enroll at San Jose Uni, get work, get student loans, and continue to slowly get an education while being happy (away from my parents, with my love)? This will be harder to do because I will have to be on my own, basically, and my parents will not support me; however, I will be with the person I love and get to know him better while living with him.

or

(b) Do what my parents tell me to by going to the junior college for those two years on their money, move out on their money to a UC or maybe CSU (my mum only wants me to get into a UC for some reason...???) for my third and fourth year, and put off living with Nwlinkvxd for fours years? This will be easier because I will be supported by my parents, but I will still fight with Nwlinkvxd and be pissed at my parents.
