I admit it. As excited as I am, I'm petrified. I going to be entirely on my own and I'm not even sure that I can really afford this place. I thought the state would help me out a lot more, but they won't. And the sad thing is the case worker had me believing that all I had to do was find a place and they would help me out all the way. Supposively they will once I'm in school, but I can't trust anything she says now.
Everything has a waiting list, even daycare. So what am I supposed to do? Who's going to watch Nick? I just know I'm going to be absolutely broke like all the time. If Dan pays child support I might be ok. Especially if they attatch his taxes and I get all of that back support. I could live off that until September rolls around and I am enrolled in school and hopefully that assistance kicks in as well as my case worker swears it will...
Oh I had my interview today and payed the admission fee. I have to call PV tomorrow and tell them to send my transcript to South Hills, then I have to take an enrollment test and I'm in. I'm excited about that too, but still scared. Atleast I know I have a home with mom, it's just too bad she's so far away from work and school...
I just keep taking deep breaths and telling myself everything is going to be ok. I hope it's true... I know it's all for the best. I think I NEED to experience living on my own, even it's just through the summer. And I KNOW going to school IS the best option for me. It's the only chance Nick and I have. I can do it. I can do it! I WILL do it!!!
Wish me luck,
