prospects

so i told my mother about my plans for next year, and she freaked. completely fucking freaked. at first, she kind of took it as a joke and mentioned really juvenile aspects (ie: but we'll miss you! you'll miss your eighteenth!) but then she started to get really angry. is it such a bad thing to want to move to another country?

my god, its not even one year.
is my family really so short sighted?
you think they'd be relieved to have me out of their hair.
