So I've been out of school for ... nearly a month now, and here I was, looking for a summer job, waiting for my letter from school that would tell me I could graduate.

Unfortunately, neither came.

I lost out on the position I had applied for (at the local library, a reading program for kids), and not three days later a letter arrives from my school with big letters on it that reads: GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS NOT MET.

Because my GPA is too low by 0.5.

Which means another term of school.

That was yesterday. My dad still hasn't talked to me, so I don't even know really where he stands on the whole issue, what he wants me to do ... I'm looking into taking a few courses next term so that I can graduate next June, though my parents want me to take my courses online. Rather not. On the other hand, I'm now looking for a permanent-ish full time job rather than just for the summer.

Disappointing and depressing.

Which is how I've been these last few days.

On the bright side, there have been a few good things going on. I received some art from my good friend Tea and one of my Gaian roleplay pet children has been mated off, which was both sudden and surprising, yet enjoyable. Also I'm leaving home to look after my friend for three weeks, which is getting me out of my parents' house for a while, which is very, very nice.

I guess we'll see what happens.
