She was kind of shocked, which is what I was hoping for (like, shocked at my geniousness), but not the kind of shocked I was expecting.
I told her that $2000 is a mere fraction of the cost of college, and I would hate to see him react to the bill from the school I choose to attend, even if he was having a bad day before that (which was the case with the wisdom teeth).
I also told her that I didn't want her to have to work full-time to help pay for my college fund. I felt like that would not be good for Marc.
Then I said, I think it would be a good idea for me to pay for college with just about any student and federal loan I can get.
She looked kind of taken aback at first, and then she said, "Surely you didn't expect us to just not pay at all..."
Well, no, but I'm sure we all want Dad to not suffer an early death due to all this stress he seems to be having over me going to college, good day or bad day.
She didn't dish the plan, which is half of what I was expecting. That's good, I guess. The other half of my expectations were that she would get mad and give me a "Don't Bite the Hand that Feeds You" speech.
It's 2AM right now and I can't sleep because I'm thinking about how Dad's going to react to this idea...
