I don’t think I have been this excited about school starting since I was in elementary school.  It’s going to be a totally new experience going to college.  I know it’s not where I thought I would be but you know, all things happen for a reason and I may not understand just what the reason is right now that I had to turn down Duke University but maybe someday I will.  I just try to take it one day at a time.  That’s all we can do ya know?

Well I went to register for classes today.  I am just taking the core classes like English, Math, and I have signed up for Spanish too this quarter.  I need to work too so I’m not going to take too many hard classes this quarter so I can help Mom.  I’m looking forward to returning to school.  My brother and sister are getting all excited too.  Mom is too but for different reasons than they are.  She has always loved to buy us back to school supplies.

It’s one of those kind of days, you know when you just don’t seem to have any energy to do anything.  Nothing but lay around the house all day that is.  I guess it’s because of all the rain we have gotten today.  We really need it but boy has it drained me for some reason.  I guess it might have something to do with overload.  It’s been a tough summer and school’s right around the corner.  I need to recharge a bit so I’m just going to be lazy today.

With school starting just around the corner, I have been taking part of my paycheck each week and buying a few things here and there for my brother and sister.  They both are going to need so many supplies that it’s one more thing worrying Mom.  Since I gave up my scholarship to Duke, I have gotten scholarships to help pay for everything at the community college.  Grandpa was sweet enough to just give me the money he saved for me to go to college so I could help out Mom.  I wish they would stop feeling so guilty about the way Daddy did us.  It wasn’t them that did it or them that told him to do it.  They have been so good to not only us but also to Mom.  Grandparents are the best.

Mom’s medical bills are piling up quicker than we can pay them.  I suggested she check into bad credit personal loan since her credit isn’t that great since Daddy left a mess for us.  She didn’t like the idea of applying for a loan online but I showed her that it is secure and no one can get her information from them.  Besides, it will end up helping her credit improve and I will help pay it back since I’m working close to full time over the summer.  A Personal Loan will help keep her from worrying about all the medical bills adding up.
