No More Vegas Talk
The past 2 months has been REALLY a hefty load to deal to with............and it was just ALL abt my further education. Every ard me knew how OVERJOYED i was when i got the AMAZING news that i was accepted into the UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, LAS VEGAS....... i mean how cool is tat?!!!!!! it's like a dream University to go to for EVERY hospitality and tourism student.............. so of course naturally i was sooo delighted to have accepted into one of America's top University.............. and yeah....my parents and my bro were really happy for me too.............. However, some of my frenz weren't in the same spirit of JOY........ infact some looked down on my choice to pursue my Degree in such a foreign Uni........some were even worst..... they pretended to be happy for me.....but i later found out....from a 3rd party as to how they REALLY felt............WAT AN ASS!!!!!!!!!!! why can't pple just be genuinely happy for me.... wat a negative vibe man.............But anyway, studying in such a prestigious University came wif a really HUGE price........ initially the course fee was only $40K.... okie...i know some of you are probably seeing STARS already coz i use the word "only $40K" .....but trust me.........payin such an amount for a great education isn't a bad thing........ infact my parents were ALL GO for paying that amount....they didn't mind at all.... sld technically i sld have NOTHING to WORRY abt right?!!! but hey.....since when has Ms Rena Silva's life ever been ordinary & normal?!!!! in this case..... it was a far cry from anything close to normal........ i was in for a SUPER DUPER shocking news......... i'm just goin to do my "word vomit"... so brace yaself.......... during my advising session wif the DEAN of admissions of UNLV, she dropped the bomb on me and said tat the course fee is now a wopping.....$60,000....................ohhh yesh darlins............$60 freaking hundred thousand dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!.......... i was on the verge of fainting right there and then............. and when i broke the news to my parents..........u can ONLY imagine they reaction.......... they were super stunned.....and they both when into a mad frenzy to get the additional $20K......... i know how badly my Daddy wented me to get into tat sch........ and trust me......they did EVERY thing possible in their power to get the funds..........but sadly to no prevail.............. (*yeah i bet it's real good news for some of u heartless pple*)......... I was really devastated by the fact i won't be able to pursue my degree in such a insitution. Even the Dean of admissions called me yesterday to check up on me. I tired my very best to not cry infront of parents....i didn't wanna upset them... my dad apologised to me tat he cldn't get the sufficient funds..... i told tat it wasn't his fault or anything and he need not be sorry for at all..... i KNOW he & my mother did above & beyond what they cld provide me with.... Oh well....... maybe it's just not fated for me to go to such a school.............who knows...maybe i'm set for greater things to come...... God i hope so..................... i mean i'm still hurting on the inside....everytime i hear abt UNLV in the News or in the newspapers... i'll look away....coz i just can't handle it ya know....it's like i was soooooo close yet sooo far away.................... GOD SAVE ME!!!!!!!!
