I’m getting better. The coughing is subsiding, so I guess it’s not bronchitis. It is related to my bronchial tubes, though.
School is taking a toll on me. I have 5 classes right now. Two of them are seven week classes, and pretty much that means they cram the whole semester’s worth of work into those 7 weeks. I don’t mind because I know once they’re done I’ll have more time to focus on Pre-calculus, Chemistry, and Biology. The 7 week classes are Behavior Modification and Social Psychology (both Psych courses). It wouldn’t be so bad if I were better at time management. I’d really like to pass all of them with a B or higher, and there are a few of them I know I should get A’s in if I apply myself.
I think after this semester I will be taking a break from college. It’s not because I’m tired of it, though, it’s because of the price. If I do that, I’ll be transferring to a different university for my last 2 years, because I’ll lose the scholarships from my current school if I take a break. There’s just so much from this semester that I still owe and haven’t been able to pay off as yet, so I’ll probably need the rest of this year working 2 jobs to pay it off. If I can do it over the summer, that’ll be great, but the job I was expecting to call me back for the 2nd step (a knowledge/communication test) hasn’t done so as yet (aka The City). That would have been a great job, paying $15.49/hr., and guaranteeing me 40hrs./wk (and overtime on occasion), so I would have been set to pay off all my school stuff (including credit cards) within about 6 months.

Wow, you've got a big load this semester. I think taking a break to pay off what you already owe is a good idea. You don't want to get yourself too far into debt where you can't get out. Good luck with getting the 2nd job!! ^________^

Aww, school really does suck sometimes. I guess we all need a break sometimes. I hope you get better. I'm glad it's not bronchitis.

aww anya, i'm sorry schools being such a bwtch. and financial situations arent making things any better. in highschool, i was on a scholarship too and the pressure to perform sure knows how to break a girl sometimes.. eep. but i wish you all the best, k? at least you got your priorities right and seem to know what you what as to how to manage money etc. 
ohh and i tried addax. thanks for the tip. pretty good but yeah, downfall is that they don't have many files.

Glad to hear you’re feeling better. I’ve been hearing my friends bitch about school so much lately–not only school in general but the cost–and I really want to start school now that I can but I don’t think I can foot the bill at all.. I was just thinking about you today when I was on ModelMayhem.
