Ok so I know I said I would be writing entries detailing what I had done on my vacation but I am still recuperating and well you all know what a procrastinator I am.
So my mother finally gave me my mail that I received while away. And among the bills was something from my school, saying that the check for my tuition had bounced and they wanted money immediately. This letter arrived almost 2 weeks ago. Now my brother had agreed to pay for one semesters tuition so long as I continued working, but less hours. This is because he thought it unfair that I was working full time practically while attending school full time. That was my entire life school and work. I only managed one night off, to see GoF, in that entire school year. So he agreed to pay one semester so I didn't kill myself or land in the hospital (Mom almost put me in last year due to my exhaustion and several breakdowns). So I asked him to pay for this semester. The idea was he would pay using his tax refund, signing the money over to Mom who would send a check to the school. This was done the weekend before I left and the school sent a receipt stating it had been received. But then I got this letter.
As it turns out my darling father (sarcasm there people) decided to cut off the payments he has been making to my mother, spousal support and everything else. But he didn't tell her, he just stopped. So when all the bills came out there wasn't enough money, the check for my tuition bounced and now I may not be going back to school. My father does not seem to realize that his decisions, particularly in the monetary sense affect other people and not just my mother. So because he decided, and his lawyer agreed, that he does not need to give my mother money (despite cheating on her and walking out after 22 years of marriage), my future may be screwed.
I don't know what to do, I don' know if this can be fixed. I have 3 weeks before school starts again. My mother has reassured me it will be worked out, but how? I feel guilty for going on vacation now, I should have stayed home and used the money for school. But we had things all worked out, it should have been fine, how was I suppose to know this would happen? But I still feel a bit guilty. I mean LA and Vegas was worth it, the sights, and most especially the people. But was my future, my education worth it? I don't know. I don't want to miss this year. I want to stay with the people I got to know last year. But what can I do? I have money left which I can use, of course, but then what am I suppose to do for next semester? I am usually so good with finances, usually have lots of rainy day cash, but that was before my vacation. Ack!!! This is frustrating! I hope it clears up. I am finally moving ahead with my future, but suddenly I may be back in limbo.
And to top it all off my mouse died yesterday. I am glad it is over with because she has been unwell for almost 2 months, and she had another bad seizure Tuesday night. But I will miss her and so will Sals, my other mouse. Poor Timbit, she had a rough start. I hope the last 2 years were decent though. RIP Timbit.
