So what to decide? How to figure out what direction I want to take my life in for the next few years? I know that I want to for a university and the only way to do that is have a masters degree. Which I am ready to pursue. But, how do I do that? Currently, my life doesn't allow my the time or money to take graduate classes. So, do I start looking for a new full-time job that would allow me the time/money to do that but take approx 4-5 years to accomplish my goals or do I go back and become a GA ATC and do it in 2 years.
If I do a GA ATC, I would become dirt poor again. Is that something I am willing to do? That I am not sure about? I already made that mistake once and look where it landed me, in so much debt that I don't know how I will ever be able to repay my parents. So, how do I go about doing the GA route right this time? I know that if I do it, I have to get out of Illinois. So, where do I start looking? Do I limit myself to somewhere warm or should I not be so chosy?
I never thought it would be this hard to get where I wanted to be in life. On top of it all my family is in shambles. My parents can't seem to stand each other and fight constantly. My mother's back is doing horribly and she spent the better part of a week in the hospital because of it. But I think she finally realized that surgery may be the only way to relieve the pain she is in. Hopefully she can do something about it.
My eye seems to be doing ok I guess. I still see the blurryness/blackness hole out of the right eye if I stare out it. I so hope that I don't have to have surgery on it. The prospect of having to be in the heads down position for 2-6 weeks is annoying at best. And I am not even sure what insurance will do about it. The damn workers comp is taking forever to get things worked out in terms of pay and all I want is my paycheck, I really need the money. But it seems so ba of me to hound Lark about it, but she is violating state law now. I guess I will call the insurance lady tommorw and see what the statis is of the paycheck.
