If I Were Them, I’d Run in the Other Direction

Since both Sara and Sarah are from out of state, they have to pay a much higher tuition than us in-state kids do. The amount they pay is almost equal to a private school tuition, which sucks. Sarah’s parents decided to remedy the situation by picking up their family and moving over here in order to be closer to her and to get in-state residency. Which makes perfect sense, if you’d rather pay twice as much for a smaller house (thank you, housing bubble) in order to save a couple thousand on tuition for such a short amount of time… which leads me to believe that the latter reason is less important than the former.

Either way, Sarah is upset that her family wants to move their lives to be closer to her.

She doesn’t care that her younger sister is being plucked out of her high school circle and having to find a new place to fit in.

She doesn’t care that her parents have to find new jobs.

She doesn’t care that her father is making four drives between several states in order to move all their things over.

She’s pissed off that she won’t get to go back home during breaks, and that she is no longer going to live in a huge house with sprawling land. The poor girl has to put up with a smaller bedroom and a smaller backyard.

It has been a month since she found out about the move, and Sarah has not stopped complaining about how much she is suffering from having to move… when she is not actually helping her family to pack or drive over or any of it. Well, thank goodness she has something legitimate to whine about this time.
