So as I stated in my previous post, I was hoping that this year would be better than last year but so for no good. It feels like the shittyness has just continued.
My mom and dad let me know about a month ago that my grandma has just been diagnosed with dementia and my aunt (her oldest daughter) has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's. And I haven't told anyone this yet but my friend Rik, who has Aids, had a stroke. Luckily as far as I know all three are ok, but I feel so guilty that I can't be there. My friends and family are more important to me than well anything and I hate that I can't afford to fly back home and visit them. I know I couldn't really do anything to cure them or anything, but that doesn't matter.
With the accident stuff, I thought things were going well. Especially after the guy who hit me pled guilty and paid the fine rather than going to court, but I got a call from my lawyer that I think he said my claim was denied. I hope I heard wrong. Now I'll have to figure a way to pay for the past three months of therapy (oh yeah, no med coverage... thanks Direct buy) and perhaps lawyer fees.
As for school, things aren't looking so hot there either. It seems that the Interior Design program is looking like it will be no more. So in response to the imminent doom that is my future, I looked into a private school out here called the Academy of Art College. I reeeeeeeally want to go, but again, do to finances it doesn't look like its going to be possible. I have horrible credit, government grants are less than $1000 and for a year of attendance it's like $20,000. As much as I hate to do it, the way things are going with the economy and lack of job opportunities I may have to put off school and I don't know work/file for unemployment. It's not looking good. My worst fear would be if I had to move back to California and move in with my parents. Sure I'd get to visit my friends and family, but I wouldn't be happy. Besides its not like there are any jobs out there either!?
I dunno... I guess I'll just have to wait and see.
The only good thing that's happened these past three months is that I started this new diet and I lost like thirty pounds or at least one pant size. Hopefully, with the lack of money and all this "free time" on my hand I can at least get one good thing happening this year.
Did I mention I haven't slept yet today? Good times!! Looking forward to posting some good news, take care everyone!
