This move is killing me, I’ve been living here full time for a week and a half now and the mess in my room is at a standstill. Today of all days I feel it, I have so much homework to finish then work and I’m just so tired and sleepy. I just want to call off work but I need the money so I will be going after being up all day to be up all night. It’s no secret that I hate my job, what makes it worse is the shift (nights) and the crappy pay. It’s one thing to hate your job but at least work a shift you like and get paid well.
I’m grateful to have work, last year I moved to a different city for school, work and a boy.
I had been saving for law school before I moved but need to finish my Bachelor’s degree first. So, after finishing my AA at a community college I moved to complete my last two years at a new school in a new city. At the time I decided to move everything seemed to be working out great. I got a job offer working “30” hours a week, and a great apartment I was moving into with my boyfriend. But it quickly turned out to be nothing like I hoped it would be, my job cut my hours in the first week after I had already quit my other job. The 30 hours a week turned into 15 hours at most and I ended up losing all my law school savings paying for my bills. The apartment we moved into turned out to be an expensive nightmare. My old school sent my transcripts late because the computers were down and I missed class registrations. I ended up starting school in the summer, looking for a new job that took six months, and I rocky relationship at most. Now I’m at my new job which I hate, but was lucky to find. It pays my bills but I’m still living paycheck to paycheck with overtime. I have to take my LSAT in June 2016 but that is not going to happen. School has been moved back a semester if I’m lucky, meaning law school has to be moved back too.
2016 was long awaited for me, disappointment is all I have so far. I have moved into a mobile home which I am now wondering if I can afford to pay for. School is going well, work is work, and my love life is non existent.
I count my blessings everyday, I have more good things in my life than bad. I have a loving family that tell me how much they love me, I am in great health, and the future is what I make it. We all have our problems, and sometimes they may seem like the whole world. Everyday when I wake up or walking out of work I count my blessings, and the day begins on a good note.
I hope your troubles don’t bring you down, I hope you see the good things in your life and not just the bad.
XOXO
Katongo.
