So far 2007 is shaping up alright.
There are no immediate drama's in the forseeable future pertaining to my love life, or personal life for that matter, which is a big relief.
I am concerned about Liam and his "terrible two's" because his tantrums are quite violent not only towards me, but self-inflicted as well.
School and finances are my major concerns at this point.
I have by the end of the week at the latest to decide whether it'd be worth my while to transfer into the paralegal program (despite my distain for Herzing College's Academic programs) or to just stay in the legal assistant (*cough* secretary *cough*) program.
If it's a major pay difference, I'm going to go into the paralegal program, because 30k a year is nothing. Nothing people. Seriously. That means no car, no house, no comfort for about 10 years +. I've done the math.
My concern for the week ahead is talking to career counsiling at school. The manager, Joseph, is a sweet guy, but dence as a milk that is so old, it's now a good cheese.
You have to understand that Career College's operate like a business. They don't always put the needs of their clients ahead of their need to do their job. Therefore, information get's misconstrued or it's a sort of "lies by omission" scenario.
I doubt he's going to tell me what needs to be said.
As for finances, there's so many sources wringing me dry.
Mom being the prime leech, and day care, groceries, transportation.
One of my concerns is that Herzing College has no decided that the legal students must attend classes on Friday. Friday being our day off. Friday being the day that we all get our stuff done.
I cannot afford an extra 100$ a month for daycare. So there will be no friday classes for Renee. However, my OSAP may get cut off due to insufficient attendance. Also, exams will probably be on Fridays, and I'm not sure how I'm going to swing that if Mom picks William up on Fridays, AND Liam's home.
I have a grand total oe 63$ for my son and myself this month. My OSAP doesn't come in until Feb. 1st, and that's -if- OSAP decides to play fair this go round. Diapers are roughly 40$. My bus pass is 56$. Groceries are about 200$ a month.
If I mooch off mom for food, I still have to buy milk, and my bus pass, well, I'm not sure how that's going to work. Diapers I can't work around unless Liam miraculously get's potty trained this month. I need some winter boots, but that will have to wait, I'll just have to double sock lol.
I get 20k from OSAP including bursaries. 9k goes to Herzing for tuition to teach myself. The rest goes to expenses, and here I am - broke as sin.
Liam's birthday is next month, luckily I saved a presnt from x-mas to give him, so I may be in the clear.
I doubt the financial troubles would bother me as much if I knew there was a good job ahead of me, or financial stability, or even if I can getting a reputable education.
So, 2007 is starting off in a little anger, but being optimistic by way of a nose bleed has kept me going these past 3 years.
Wish me luck friends!
