Oh I've been under so much pressure and so depressed that I didn't even want to come here and list all the stressors. But I took tonight off (I'm supposed to be Chinesing with Jasers family this evening) to try to get centered for school tomorrow. I am actually feeling a little bit better, because I just called all my credit cards and checked the balances.
Oh man have I been a victim of the American Way when it comes to credit cards. I've put several credits of college tuition on cards, and basically, I lived off of them all last summer instead of getting a job. I ended up with 6 regular credit cards and an Express card that is still the death of me, and by the time I started getting my regular paycheck in September it was being used to pay off late fees and overlimit fees and finance charges, with the actual balances rarely being touched. God Bless America.
So tonight when I called, I wrote everything down, and now that I'm looking at how much better things finally are, it's like I can breathe so much easier. Isn't that weird, how oppressive debt can be? Don't get me wrong, there's still student loans and my car payment, not to mention an uncontrollable chain restaurant habit, but things are looking up.
March resolutions: Get my car serviced at the Hyundai dealership like normal people do. Also, finish teaching everything! Finish all the dances, all the songs for chorus, and be able to get through all the songs in band. April will be so much easier that way.
Plus, only one sick day allowed!
Okay, I'm going to go buck up some more. I'm still feeling a tinge of desperate, 'I hate my life' stuff that needs to get out of my system by tomorrow morning....
