Very thin ice, very thin ice, very thin ice
I had two midterms yesterday so I'm having a hard time wanting to go to school today for my one hour-long class. I think I did well on the midterms, but in my one discussion today we'll be getting back our test from that class, which I know I bombed. I guess a lot of people did badly, though, because the professor postponed our second test and has even changed the format considerably. I feel stupid for doing so badly for obvious reasons, but mainly because I have dedicated a lot of time to the class, I've done all of the readings and attended all the lectures, but I just got so nervous for the test. While the test and the material are challenging, I'd like to think I'd be up for the challenge, so I'm actually excited about the second exam next week.
So, that's school for you. Life outside of my studies is pretty weird right now - still waiting to see if I qualify for unemployment since I got let go from Blockbuster. Tara and I have been through a lot together, but this is proving to be the most difficult time for us because neither one of us can do anything to help each other. I'm looking for work, but, to be honest, it would be pretty amazing to just be able to focus on finally finishing school and not have to deal with the pettiness and pressure that goes along with being in today's workforce. I feel like I forced myself to go back to work in a really tough time in my personal life, and it's kind of catching up to me.
The fact is, though, there is no way we can make it just on Tara's salary, as hard as she works, so if I don't get unemployment and can't find a job, we are in a real bind that could mean losing our apartment. That is the worst case scenario, so it's what we're dwelling on. Today is the 10th business day since my phone interview, so I should, technically, get the results in the mail.
I'd like to write about happy things, but this money issue is really bothering me. I'm stuck in limbo until I find out what's happening. If it works out, though, I will have plenty of good things to talk about. Let's hope for that.
