Paris

I am in Paris with my 2 good friends, Lia and Angie. My parents paid for our trip so we're missing one whole week of school.

It's their first time there so I want to show them around. We're in my old neighborhood and before showing them my old house, we decide to go for a walk. We walk back to where we're staying at, which is in a room that's in the middle of markets and businesses. My parents are waiting for us and I tell them I can't go sightseeing with them because I have to to study for stats!

I'm missing a whole week, which means that I'm behind everyone else back at school. My dad gets mad and tells me I'm ungrateful for not enjoying the trip that they paid for. I apologize but explain to him that if I don't study for stats, I could fail out of the PhD program. My mom empathizes with me and tells my dad to let me study at home while they go out.

I'm really sad because I know I'm prioritizing stats over enjoying my trip in Paris with my family and friends.

And then... I wake up.
