The College Life
I really like being a college student at Eastern Kentucky in the ROTC program, but there are many problems that are stressing me out, like the Army still hasn’t decided what their going to do about me, however I have a National Guard guy who swears he can get my problem fixed in a mater of days if I transfer to them out of the Reserves, but I don’t know, the cost of gas, even though it’s dropped is still too high for me because I commute to Eastern everyday from Lexington which is about 30-35 miles and so yea, a lot of my money goes to gas. I am behind on all my bills, I had my cell phone turned off and permanantly this time because I can’t afford to have one because I can’t work no more then about 20-25 hours a week unlike what I used to work which was like 35-40 hours a week and sense I started school I had to transfer from my 3rd shift job at Meijer where I was making $8.20 and hour to 2nd shift General Merchandise where I am now only making $7.40, so yea that sucks. I can’t sign a contract with ROTC until my sophmore year, even though I am in the program, I’m not contracted, and unless I get the Army to fix e up I won’t even be able to contract with them at all and this whole time I’m spending in the program will have been in vain, except for the learning experience and leadership training it provides. It’s stressful, really stressful, but don’t worry I’m not one to just give up, I’m trying to work on somethings to make things easier for me. Like as soon as I get my financial aid fixed I’m gonna try and get in a dorm room next semester because this commuting thing is killing me, and I could maybe still stay working at Meijer in Lexington and get a second job around Eastern to work during the week and work at Meijer on the weekends only. That would be nice. I am telling u, if I could just get this whole military thing fixed asap I would be a much happier person than I am today, because then my financial status would not be so bad.
I don’t know it sounds like I’m whining a lot and I am, but this is my diary and I can do that, u don’t have to read it, :). If I need to vent I’m gonna do it here instead of somewhere else where I can get into trouble with someone or something ya know…
About 2-3 weeks ago I broke off the engagment to Holly but now we’re back together again and have been for a couple of weeks however the engagement is still off and will remain that way for a long while. Somehow I feel like I already wrote about this though in a previous entry, I don’t know I may have but if I did oh well, I don’t care and do u know why..? Because this is my diary and if u don’t like it don’t read it ok… :):)
