I've officially become the cliche girl working as a waitress to put herself through college. I absolutely hate it. I'm currently attending RCC, (Riverside Community College), and it's not like it's expensive, but my family is going through intense money problems right now, so I have to help out wherever I can. I go to the Riverside campus, so I have to drive to Riverside everyday...which doesn't exactly help the money situation because of my gas. Which I have to pay for, which inhibits me from paying my car payment each month. And my car barely works, on top of that. My schedule is intense, I'm either at work or school, so I'm really stressed out because I never have a minute for myself, I'm truly on the verge of losing my mind. I really don't like my job, but with my school schedule, it would be really hard to find a new one right now. I only work two days a week, and I can't add anymore days because I would be giving up my weekends, which are my only two days when I can sleep. So I make about $80 a week, plus my tips. Great. And to make things just a little bit worse, I got my first math test back yesterday, the one I thought I did really well on based purely on the fact that it was the first chapter, and the algebra material that I'd been taught since 7th grade, and I got a 53, a D. I was so discouraged I actually thought about dropping the class. I wish I could just drop all my classes and start over in the winter, it would be a lot easier, because I could work more and save up some money and start over again in January. I guess I'm just ranting because I'm so stressed. Well in any money situation, I'm going to put on my makeup and buy the John Mayer CD right now.
