Update from SC

This is a response to my big brother's comment on my last post. Yes, I am jumping out of a plane with Ate and I apologize for not informing you of such. I'm surprised she hasn't said anything to you. You guys talk a lot, right? And I would greatly appreciate you taking stuff down, but I think I can make it work. From reading your blog you will probably be in school when I'm moving, so I don't want to inconvenience you with such trivial things. And I was kind of exaggerating with the whole job thing. My pay at VB makes about $100 less in one week than 20hrs at minimum wage for one month makes. I took taxes at 20% to do my calculations for this. I will have to work a minimum of 30hrs to make enough to pay for rent, utilities, food, and tv/internet. This still makes me want to die. I'm almost going to have to have a full-time job just to survive. I'm going to have to work more than I'm going to school. I don't want to get student loans. I don't want to graduate with debt, but I know I'll have to. I'm not going to get a job when I graduate unless I work at a Lowe's for the rest of my life. My skin keeps breaking out in eczema from stress. And since scars don't tan, I look like a spotty leper since my normal skin is about 6 shades darker (I've moved on to a regular complaint from a response to the comment if you haven't noticed). I know I shouldn't care about my looks, but it's just not helping the stress factor. I'm too distracted by things right now. I'll finish this post at a later date...to be continued...

  1. Never fear sister dear! Big bro can still drive you some stuff down provided it's not on a Wednesday. I'm not going to a real college or anything. Just photography classes similar in set-up to Dad's Marc Adams school. I take a class when I want to. Rather than a weekend or week long course though, they are two hours a day, one day a week for a month. So no sweat!

    I did apply for a job at the kids' elementary school. So if it is during the week it would have to wait till after 4pm, if I get the job. Pretty much just money to pay for Alex's tuition and more classes or photography equipment...if I ever get "good enough" to justify more equipment.

    Still totally jealous about the skydiving thing. Would love to have gone with you...but not sure Karen would let me. Even though currently I'm worth more dead in insurance money. LOL When/Where are you guys jumping? Maybe I could come out and take pictures of your landing?

    I love you. Let me know if I can help in anyway.
