4/13/09 - blagh

Monday, April 13, 2009

Today is a "blagh" day. But really has nothing to do with my weight loss journey.

I am highly overwhelmed with my final week of college coming soon. I will be done with classes 4/30 and graduating the beginning of May. I have so much to do that I can't even handle it right now. I have an exam on Thursday that is basically do-or-die and I think I'm leaning towards the latter! I have four exams next week, plus billions of homework assignments from all sides.

Along with school....I still have normal household responsibilities. I have all of my pets, and my boyfriend to tend to. I have to get nearly 200 plants transplanted today or they'll die. I need to try to cook dinner tonight (Meatless Monday) - and still haven't done crap on my homework!

And worst of all...........................
..........................
.........financially I'm screwed. I have student loans late (that I shouldn't have to pay, but they hate me). I have bills due. I don't have money to buy groceries. I have absolutely no job and can't find one. There hasn't been an opening in my area for months. My car is empty on gas and I have no money to put some in the tank. Commuting to school is hard enough, now I'll have to commute to work....whenever I can finally find one. I just need to "run into money" somehow. But I don't believe in gambling.

With all of this stress, and emotions I'm sure this weeks healthy living is going to be ridiculously hard. I think I'm going to go cry and do some studying.
Wish me luck!

    Sorry to hear about all the stress! Life gets so crazy sometimes. Is your boyfriend the type to step in and pick up the slack for you? See if he can take some of the stress off you by taking care of the animals and any other small household items he can manage.

Call your student loans and find out if they allow you to take a forbearance. Most student loans do, and you can do it for a few months or for up to six. They are particularly understanding at this point because there a lots of people in economic hardship.

As for jobs, check into your local unemployment office. They should have a job board and offer placement services. I know that it requires getting there, but maybe you can check them out online.

The important thing to remember is to not panic. You can and will get through this.
