For those of you who don't know me, a quick introduction: I've been camming for three months. I love it, and can never ever ever go back to minimum wage jobs dealing with stupid customers again. I've been a student at university for four years. I went to uni straight out of high school, so I've never done the "work full time" thing.
I absolutely could not motivate myself to do school this semester, I had no interest in any of my classes, or reading my books, or anything (which is extremely unlike me, because I'm a total nerd, sit at the front of the class, do extra credit assignments, etc.). So I dropped school. Not permanently, because I plan on taking courses in the summer. I can go back any time I want, really. My mom does not understand this. (Yes, I still live with my parents, because I can't afford any of the places in town that rent to people who have dogs - my puppy is my life, I'm not dumping him off at the SPCA just so I can have an apartment). Mom cried when I said I dropped my classes. After I explained it all to her, she seemed to be okay. She told me I'd need to find a job. *EYE ROLL* Obviously, mom! I'll look on craigslist for one!
I've been out of school for not even a week. I've been loving all the extra time I have to work on cam stuff, fix up my blog, start work on a new site, take pictures, and all that. This morning she's asked me three times already what I'm doing. She only works 5-10 hours a week herself, so she's ALWAYS HOME. I got a lecture about how I need to take things seriously and find a job and all that.
She wants me to have a job because she wants me to pay her for things. Like help her pay for gas in her BRAND NEW GAS GUZZLER. Or buy the groceries for all of us. Or pay the bills. I've been using the "I'm a student, I don't have any money" line for a long time. I help out when I can. But I don't want her to freeload.
Anybody have any ideas for what I can say I'm doing?? I need something GOOD that she won't question, but that doesn't sound so good that she'll want to do it too. HELP!! <3
