I told them

that I was planning on staying in Norman. My parents, that is. Well, at least my mom. She took it rather well for how I was envisioning her reaction. I think she finally realized that I love her and Dad and respect them, but that I am going to make a decision against their advice. She told me that she would support me in whatever I wanted to do, but was still hesitant about staying in Norman. But, she was also impressed that I have a plan, so that I'm not just running into a vacuum, but am soberly planning out my future. So, that's done. Now I just have to wait and see what Dad says. But, it looks like I'm here for a year.
