the boyfriend's leaving teen-hood

To anyone who knows the guy, or even if you don't, tomorrow (Monday) is redclaw42's birthday, so I encourage you to leave a note in his journal. I.e., SPAM IT!!! :-P

the first apology

In my usual manner, I'm avoiding reading something (the comment dad left in my journal).
I probably should have locked that entry to my not-Dad group. I needed to vent that, but letting him read that was the same as saying it to his face. (Not that I didn't say enough to his face during the argument itself.)
I know I'm being irrational in at least one way, probably many. Whether or not I think my parents are being reasonable, the rational thing to do would be to make going to school my top priority, even if that means submitting myself to their decisions of what's best for me. But a large part of me just says "If making your own decisions is as important to you as you say it is, then waiting until you're 24 to go to school should be worth it.".
I want to apologize to my parents, but I'm not ready yet. First, I need to figure out what exactly to apologize for and what not to apologize for.
This I know that I can honestly apologize for:
Dad (and Ann), I apologize for the rude, un-helpful, and most likely hurtful words I used, and for leaving my venting post out in the open for you to read.
