So, This semester didn't start out the way I had hoped. I came back from Canada Absolutely broke allthough very content in every other way possible. I thought that I would be working as a singing server when I came home but as it turns out I need more stage experience before I'm actually qualified to do something like that *sighs* so as a result of not working I had to take out multiple loans to support me self. This ended up causing me to go through a huge period of stress. I ended up owing the bank and others over $600, and I still wasn't able to buy all of my books for school which is turning out to be detrimental to my academic success. So for over the past months I've spent all of my spare time looking for a job and stressed over not being able to pay of these debts on time. Finally after three weeks of consistently comming in the store and working over the managers and staff, my cousin was able to help me get a position working at macy's womens shoes. Which I ABSOLUTELY DETEST WITH EVER FIBER OF MY BEING! It's not that being in sales is bad for me or that i'm not good at it. It's the fact that they want me to work every fucking weekend, when i have two classes on sunday, they want to start me off working the register which doesn't earn me commission so i have to settle for a crappy hourly pay which only pays a meager 7.75 which is a two dollar pay reduction as compared to my former job. The only good thing is that they pay weekly, so after my pay is no longer deferred I will be able to spend every cent i make to pay of my damn debt. *sighs* I do hold myself accountable for digging this whole that I've been stuck in. I shouldn't have relied so heavily on unstable sources as a way of supporting my income. I did have other things pop up during this time as well, but i just wanted to talk about my financial burdens on this entry, most other things are centered around the problems that have occured as a result of that area of my life. I have gotten some help with one half of my immediate financial debts from close friends which have helped me greatly and i really appreciate that. But I mainly want to get myself back on target with my financial goals. I'm also looking for other employment opportunities because I allready hate working at Macy's. It's such a dead end for me. And I need a job that pays way more and requires less from me as far as time is concerned. I absolutely can't stand when something is standing in between me and my academic progress, and this job from the very beginning is posing a threat. anyhow i have massive amount of homework to finish and make up for(All ready can you believe it!!?) as a result of going to their stupid and useless job trainings. So I will write later about more detailed.
