Just received news that my Great Aunt from Arkansas is gong to be moving in with me and my grandmother at the end of next week. Woohoo. Not. Don't get me wrong, I love my Aunt, but three people in this little apartment will be a bit crowded. And on top of that, I'm the kind of person who needs space that's MINE. I need someplace quiet I can go and lock myself in where nobody will bother me. I guess I'll just have to find someplace on WCC campus or something.
Having my Aunt move in also means our finances will be stretched even thinner than they are now. I mean, I'm down to a $50 buffer in savings. Adding another person is gonna be tough. Goodbye getting my teeth fixed and any extra money from financial aid I was gonna save.
I guess I've always got the option of moving back in with the parents... if I can make myself tolerate the noise and an eight year-old brother.

Back to Square One
Well, the writing idea isn't gonna pan out at the moment, maybe later on down the road... we'll see.
And with that I am back right where I started... unemployed, with no serious job experience fighting with 200 other people just for a crappy job at some place like McDonalds. It's rather depressing when you are continually turned down from fast food jobs because they hire someone with MORE EXPERIENCE!!! I mean really, what prior experience would qualify me for a job at Wendy's, Taco Time, or worst of all McDonalds?
But who cares about that, according to my family I should go back to college. What I want to know is, with what money? Are they gonna pay for it? No! Do I qualify for full financial aid? No! Do I even know what interests me anymore that requires school? Nope. Not a clue, and I'm not willing to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on school for something I know I can't stand or that won't interest me by the time I graduate.
I'm a girl who likes to build/make things but I can't stand dirt under my nails and I hate working outside. That rules out construction, gardening, or anything else that gets you dirty. I have no interest in math, science, or law. And quite frankly I don't have the patience (read attention span) to keep with the studying.
Opening my own business is out, I don't have the self-discipline or the resources. I don't mind retail, but I hate tedious paperwork, corporate rules/structure, and lack the proper training for management. As stated before I like creating things, but like many creative types the second I actually try to be creative the ideas cease to flow. It has to be spontaneous, and that doesn't work for business.
I have the option of bartending, but not till I turn 21 at the end of next September. I've been learning different drinks the last few weeks and so far I am still interested, so that's a good sign. My jewelry making is slowly starting to make money, no sales online yet but I've got my fingers crossed.
If anybody even reads this and has an idea, feel free to send it my way cause I'm stuck.

Updates
Well, so far still no real job, but I have managed to save up a little toward my trip. Enough that I plan on applying for my passport in early December even if I fall short and don't get to go after all. I guess I could always go to Mexico, or all else failing, Canada. There is a pretty good chance of me making quite a bit at craft fairs this winter, but that'll end pretty much at Christmas.
I hope to have an ArtFire Shop soon too, and that should bring in some sales. With luck they may even be steady and bring me lots of customers. Maybe I should make a blog too...
