Alireza didn't get into graduate school. My stomach sinks just thinking about what we're going to do now. I'm also surprised....and pissed....and worried....and stressed.....Get my flow?! I was depending on him to help with real money and health insurance. Damnit. While we have somewhat talked about what we are going to do if he doesn't get in, I'm going to be honest, I wasn't really listening to what we would do. I pretty much just got it in my head that he would get in. He's got good grades, a good GPA, and great references. Poop. Well, I guess it's time for me to put on our thinking caps! I do remember something about him taking some graduate level courses as an 'adult student' so that he is able to reapply so that he can use those courses towards his masters. Hmmm....that's still an option, right sweetie? Cause' we can't live like this forever! I hate planning for my future now that I'm older but all I can think about is what I'm going to do with my life and how we are going to make money. It's obviously still hazy as of this point in our lives and that just, well sucks. I want to be reassured that I will be financial stable, but at the same time who wants to think that far out into their future? Am I really going to be stuck working and living in Greensboro for the rest of my life?! Ughhhh...nooooo! Serious meltdown going on here! And I was the person wondering why all of my friends moved back in with their parents. It's because of situations like this where no one can find a stinking job anymore that pays more than $12 per hour.
Actually, I shouldn't be complaining but so much. Slap on me on the wrist. I do have a job that I have and will be getting more promotions with. I just ya know, wanna do something else and maybe possibly get benefits. Is that too much for a 25 year old graduate to ask for? Well, I did apply to help be an event coordinator at a place in Burlington for the summer for some extra moolah. Maybe that will help to inch me closer to my future dreams of being a....umm.....a..financial-stable-with-benefits-25-year-old! I do believe that we are all put on this earth for a reason and we work and meet people for a reason, so, what I'm wondering is, what's my purpose?
