So I'm faced with some important decisions...after starting to go to school full time I have come to the conclusion that I may not be able to work my normal 40 hours/week. School is going to get more demanding and I need to devote more attention to reading and doing my assignments. I am not privledged enough to have a job that I can do homework in the downtime. Most of my homework is reading and if I haven't the time to do that then I won't be able to pass my exams because only a percentage of it is on inclass notes.
My work week is as follows:
Sunday - off
Monday - 8 to 6:30
Tuesday - 4 to 6:30
Wednesday - 8:30 to 6:30
Thursday - off
Friday - 8:30 to 7:30
Saturday - 8 to 3:30
I go to school Tuesday and Thursday from 8 to 3:15. My manager asked me if I want to be brought down to be a 35 hour/week employee (I'd still be full time)and have Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday off. This would definetly help me out but I'm not sure it is enough. I know of a position as a "library monitor" at school that is for Tuesday and Thursday from 5 to 10:15 and it pays $11.50 an hour. In February I will be getting my raise and will be making $12.30. I'd still be making decent money if I stayed with the bank but I'm not sure if my school work would suffer. I'm confused as to what to do. I did apply for the library monitor position but I'm sure everyone and their fucking mother is applying for it and if I actually got it, it would be extreme divine intervention. I may just take the 35 hour work week and if I get called in for an interview with the school position then I'll deal with it.
I'm also going to sell my car. Did I mention that before? I haven't looked up the value yet but I'm sure I can at least get $4000 for it. The engine alone is worth that much. Once I sell it I will be completely debt free and I can save up money to get a place of my own and out of the parental unit's control. Won't that be nice? Then I can move anywhere I want.
I can't say I really know where my life is taking me, but I can't wait to see what is going to happen.
