quick update, bulleted style
*Still don't have a computer at home, therefore we do not have the Internet
*I applied for a job a minute ago online, at SJH where I volunteer. It requires experience, but I have none, but I applied anyway. They offer $1000 a year tuition reimbursement to those who work at least 20 hrs a week, and $1800 to those working full-time.
*I found a dollar today
*I was informed by my bank teller that the $5 service charge I was being billed for on my checking account every month should never have been there in the first place because I am a student. So she took care of that, but what sux is that for 2 yrs I was getting this stupid fee. Lance suggested I write Standard Federal because its their fault they never told me about it, so they should give me a deal or something, maybe on a CD, who knows.
*My parents fight endlessly, my house is a warzone. Very scary and depressing.
*We are nearly broke.
*We can no longer afford cable, so that's going too.
*My dad threatened to kick my cat out on the street, saying we can't afford to keep her. He is selfish and cares about no one but himself and doesn't realize how important that cat is to my sanity. I mean she (and my bed) are the only 2 things I look forward to about home. But I won't let him, even if I have to pay for the damn cat food and litter.
*My bro went to jail I think it was last week and my mom had to bail him out.
*I need a new job.
*I need a new life.
*I've decided that I am not going to let mine and my family's situation get the best of me, rather I am going to fight, survive, and get through it (with mild depression yay). I will not succumb or feel bad for myself, but get out there and make it.
*I went down to financial aid today and got a "Professional Judgement Appeal Form" or some garbage, to confirm my dad's change in income and try and get some money. I need much documentation and this will take some time. I have a week to get it done and return to Financial Aid, where I have an appt. next Thursday. Pray that I get some money.
*We won't talk about my test grade for A&P, but my ave. in the class as of now is 74%. I plan on raising this to a B and keeping it there. It's going to take a lot of hard work and focusing, which has been very hard for me these past few months.
*They keep pushing back my dad's court date :(
*Cancelled my Napster subscription...no more music :(
*Verizon Wireless finally processed my rebate, but I have yet to receive it grr.
*There is hardly any time for things I enjoy.
*I just want to be happy and for my family to be happy and my dad to realize that yes he is mentally ill and do something about it instead of moping around everyday of his life, bringing us down with him.
*My mom has been really cruel to me lately and I'm finding it harder to forgive her at times.
*I am still trying to get Sat's off, even though I really need to work them. I'm stuck in a rut.
etc. etc. etc.
*Volunteering today was awesome :) I got to be a lot of help and Jessica (one of the nurses) noticed something about me today, that "You don't seem okay." After trying to convince her I was "ok" Well I just briefly told her the latest in my life and about our computer and money and all that and she told me about the tuition reimbursement if you work there and jumped on the computer and looked up whatever she could find that I can do, printed them out for me and said I could use her as a reference. :)
If there is anything else, I'll do an EDIT.
*I talked with Lance for 25 minutes on my cell phone today at school. Our conversation has boosted my spirits a bit.
*Eee I had a dream my teeth were falling out and my mouth was bleeding profously (sp?). Well the meaning of the dream was bugging me while I was still half asleep so when I did wake up I looked up the meaning of it, and I sensed it wasn't good. Well I was right, it said "death." One word.
