Sooo, I honestly have no idea what I am doing or what to write about. I am currently not working (not for long, thank goodness) so I honestly have NOTHING to do on a day like today when I feel I might be getting sick and there is snow on the ground. I will not be driving anywhere today, because honestly, I do not know how to drive in the snow, nor does anyone else in VA for that matter. Maybe I should start doing the challenge of reading a book every week, but I have a feeling that task might fail once I am enrolled in school and probably won't have much time to really think for myself.

Ohhhh, school. My one and only child. Unfortunately, the program I am interested in is a MUST full time program and they "suggest" not having a job during it. Well guess what ODU, some people need to work to pay for their credit card bills that they have maxed out because of being in school. Needless to say, starting in August, I will no longer have time for myself or anything else. Between working 5 days a week and 4 classes, I am pretty sure I won't even have time for my hubby or even sleep. But hey, who needs sleep? Yes, maybe when you have a degree you make about $25,000 more per year than if you didn't, but I have come to realize that this statistic is crap. I say this because I have already spent about 30 grand on my undergrad degree and will be spending another 30-50 grand on my Masters. Well, I won't be making 100 grand when I graduate soooo...I should have just stayed working at the grocery store, the hours suck, but I wouldn't have any debt and I'd be making really good money. So really, once I am done with college, my job will basically pay for what I spent to go to college and I will paying it for the rest of my life. But nooo, we were told to go to college, get a good job, get payed well, blah blah blah....frustrating!
