I have a dilemma
I have a huge dilemma on top of many small ones LOL
By the way, if you haven't heard yet, yesterdays incident turned out to be an international graduate student, who was depressed about grades and school, that wanted to commit suicide by cops. There were hits that he planned on blowing up the building, not sure if it was real or not, but the anthrax turned out to be powdered sugar. Classes were cancelled all day yesterday, campus and the streets around it were blocked off for hours. It was insane. Now I keeo getting invites to Facebook groups saying "I survived the UMR Terrorist Attack". Very strange for anything like this to happen here. We made national news, I heard it twice, and apparently it was on CNN too.
Now my dilemma. James and I cannot afford to stay in real estate it seems. We had to pay $700 just to be Realtors, which is required by our company, and he found out he could get that money back. We desperately need that money. Now, I could remain, but that is still like $350 which we could save or even pay on our house payment. I need to save money for Clemson and since I will not be here next year anyway, I am considering leaving. Our boss has tried everything to talk us out of it, almost had me convinved. She suggested the idea of getting a second job. My first job is school, so I already have a second job. Add a third one in and I will lose my mind! I have considered working elsewhere, waiting tables at a classy restaurant or something like that, but why keep paying all my real estate bills (which is a hundred dollars or more a month) when I could be saving it. Sure, I could make a lot of money when a house sells, but that takes 30-45 days from when you sign a contract, and we are nowhere near getting another contract. Truthfully, no one wants to buy homes in Rolla. We are losing Briggs and Stratton, which employs a huge chunk of town, and people are in a financial crisis. We also have two listings that are going nowhere. James already got the checks back for the $700 but I could still probably stay in if we take it back today. I hate to leave with two listings and a few people we are talking to, but it is costing us to work, when even if we both didn't work, we would be ahead since we didn't have the extra bills to pay. I am at work now, may or may not be my last day. I am exhausted, I really do not want to be here. I loved working in real estate, but the fact is, I need money and even if we cut off all unneeded expenses, it still will cost $350, plus at least $20 a month (plus other things now and then). It is a full time job and I cannot work a full time job and go to school right now.
Enough talking on that. I also have a dilemma with my sorority again. I am so frustrated. I figured I would stay, but not sure I can handle it either. I came back from chapter the other night so depressed, just slightly about the sorority, but the added stress is wearing me out. I ned a good nights sleep more then once to twice a week. On average, I get less the 6 hours most nights and I am physically exhausted.
What to do, decisions, decisions....
