Graduating with a dilemma

After three years, I am finally graduating with Degree in Hospitality Management. My official graduation date is on Sep 2008 but I will finish all my modules by July. The ceremony is in May 2008; as per my advisors, I am eligible to participate in this ceremony. When I first get the news, I was indeed very happy and excited because it means that

(1) I can attend the ceremony that is held in US (2) I am finally graduating soon

To date, I cannot make up my mind if I should go US. I am worried about the money issue because I will be paying close to $2000 to US and thus I should stay there for at least 2 weeks isn’t it. This means I will have to take unpaid leave and spend money at the same time.

In addition to my money woes, my family isn’t very supportive of me going to US. My bro and his wife are definitely not supporting me; claiming that they rather go Japan. I was like “Hallow, your kids is barely 2 years old, you bring him there, and he can appreciate meh? So out of point.” My sister can’t go with me due to attachment commitment. My dad is not going so left my mum. Because of the lame excuse she had given, I had an argument with him and I end up saying all the hurtful words again. I said “ Forget it, I go myself. Anyway whether I do graduate or not, you also will not put it to heart.” Can u imagine I actually say these hurtful words to my mum? Hannah is hopeless
