I will be graduating a FULL SEMESTER earlier than what I planned on!
Although I love USF I don't particularly want to spend more time there than what I need to...ahem...with almost $20,000 a year in tuition, I think my choice is understandable. This is a huge deal for me. I thought that I would be an undergrad for 5 years. Now it's only 4 and a half. I'll take it, by god.
Also, my work situation is just not...well...working. They told me that my hours would be drastically cut. I thus made plans to move out of my apartment that I had worked so hard to live in. I was financially independent and that was important to me. Then...they didn't cut my hours.
Not only did I move OUT of my apartment (and INTO my boyfriend's) but I was planning on having some more time to focus on my studies. Well...they failed at cutting my hours. And now I'm feeling stupid to have moved/made plans accordingly.
I shouldn't be complaining because a lot of my friends are struggling to even FIND jobs. I, on the other hand, am struggling with this balancing act of work, school, and finding time for me.
So I have decided to change my schedule at work. I'm going to begin working 4:00 to 9:00 every day instead of 2:30 to 9:00. It doesn't sound like much, but trust me, that hour and a half could be half of a research paper or Act II of King Lear.
I'm feeling pretty relieved at my final decision. Even though there's only about a month and a half of school left, I need to focus and not be so scatter brained. I should have done this a long time ago. And next year will be even worse. I'm taking 2 extra classes then I usually take and I need to get my poop in a group, as they say.
Plus I'm in COLLEGE. This is the time to be poor. Duh.
Anywho. Had to vent. Funny because just yesterday I was saying how things were perfect. Jinxed myself on that one. :p
Monday, Monday, Monday.
