So, it has been FAR too long since I've added a post!! I failed to add the adventures of an entire year (my Senior year at that) of college, having to go through the deaths of two family members within 6 months of each other, and my wonderful, unsuccessful job hunt since graduating from college.
So, sorry!!
We'll just start from now and add in details from the missing time if necessary.
Today is a rainy, fall day, effectively making my entire body sore thanks to the now rampant arthritis I have from the injuries I suffered during my car accident over 3 years ago. I have been back living with my mom since the end of August and since coming here, it has been a real struggle financially. She works hard every day and it's hard to see her come home unfulfilled because she knows that she's only working to make money that isn't ever enough to pay for the overdue bills waiting at home.
Having pretty much exhausted all nearby possibilities for a "grown-up" job, I finally had to give in and start looking for something, ANYTHING, that would help relieve the burden against my mom. So, I've finally secured a part time job and just got a massive refund check from my surplus of financial aid for GRAD SCHOOL! Hopefully things will start to look up soon.
So, yeah. GRAD SCHOOL.
I feel like Grad school is just... too much trouble. It seems to me (and I've only been in grad school for 5-6 weeks) like we are re-learning everything we just got a degree for and the professors seem to treat us like imbeciles. We literally spent 1 1/2 class periods (which are roughly 3 hours a piece) in my one class discussing how to write a research paper. Note: I had to complete 3 of these types of research papers that we were discussing for my bachelors. This is the moment when I just want to stand up and scream like Jacobim Mugatu in Zoolander and say, "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!"
But, anyhoo, that's all I have to complain about for now. I will try to post more than a year+ apart!
