The Further Adventures of Giselle
Hi General Chatter peeps. I'm writing to update on the subject: "overweight fem who has lost everything in the "Great Recession", pulls herself up by her own bootstraps." Our last adventure ended with me going to the factory after one semester of an online school. (I changed online schools from an expensive one that would give me an Associates, to a cheaper one that would give me a Bachlorate. It is also a better school, but is still an online school). Due to a technicality with student aid, I had to wait 3 months till courses at my new school began. Wednesday next week, classes start! I am logged into the school site, making up my "homepage" and such! This is an Excellerated BLS (Bachelor's of Legal Studies). Excellerated is what it seems-- fast and intense. My biggest need is not money, it is time to study. -- Gladly I will give up my soul sucking job.
So I did something that would take (possibly) a great amount of courage in this day and age, given the circumstances. I quit my job. I had a good back up of rent money-- I'm now looking for "babysitting money." I thought it over, but I can go for 3 months without a job. I know where the social services are all burried. I'm going to pretty much live on "nothing" for 3 months whilst looking for a part time job.
Hmmm... would you do this? I have been thinking a lot about this. I don't think, before "Losing everything" that I would have had the courage. It is only recently that I have learned that Living like a beach bum is the way to go. If you have a nice warm room and an understanding landlord, then the world is a cool place.
Of course, in June the dream is over. If I can't find a part time job by then, then it is "off to the factory!" (sound of whip cracks accompany this).
Discussion: Tell me how fabulous and or irrisponsible I am.
