Fate is kicking in!!!

So I got in contact with the girl about the room for rent and I think it will be a really good fit.  I think that I will be able to manage it quite well.  I also have myself some health insurance, just in time from the sounds of it.  Plus I will be paying off what's left to pay for this semester of school soon as well.  While still being in the area is the farthest thing from what I really want it will do for now.  I just have to move on and get out of here.

Anyways, that is all I wanted to say for today.  Just wanted to say that things are good and I will be moving soon!  That was the bright spot in my awful week so far.  I need to go to bed but I got too much to do tonight.

I'll Stand By You!

I am so confused lately.  Last night I got on CraigsList and found a place in Beaver Falls looking for a roommate (college students).  They only want $200 a month for the rent.  It would be much much closer to work, which isn't a big deal since I only work 15 minutes away now (20 on a bad day).  I wouldn't have as long to freak out in the snow or storms and my car wouldn't end up in the ditch on the way home on snowy days.  I would also be close enough to home that instead of paying to do laundry if need be I can go home on Monday's and do laundry...while nobody is home!

So your probably wondering, "Why are you confused" now huh?  Well see the thing is I only make around $900 a month at the library.  I have to get and pay for insurance as soon as I can but since the site has been down due to government shutdown's that is damn near impossible, so I don't know how much that will cost.  I will have to get some sort of wi-fi so that I can do school work, my second job and hook up my PS3 and Kindle for internet (most likely).  Then I have the car payment and would also have to factor in groceries and gas money (which would be considerably less).  So now you see where the dilemma lies...being able to pay for everything else.

I would love to be able to get a house of my own and rent out a couple rooms in it but with only around $900 a month coming in I don't see that happening.  Even with the second job (which I'm lucky if I have time to bring in $200 a month in from) it's really not enough to cover expenses.  I still know that I have to get out of my current living situation because I can't take it much longer.  I would prefer to get out of the state but that definitely isn't a feasible option right now, one day but not right now.

A while back I wanted to get a new job but there isn't really anything close and I am not driving all the way to Pittsburgh in rush hour every day!  I have patience just not while I am driving in traffic.  I would never be a happy person if I worked in Pittsburgh...lol!  I like how laid back the library is and how I have a ton of freedom to do whatever I want here.  I see a project that needs done I can just do it I don't have to ask.  Anywhere else I would have to ask to do anything.  I guess I just need to make more time for the second job.  I may have the two busiest days of Indexing off starting next month so if I fit in 8 hour of indexing in those days I would be pulling in closer to $800 a month with the second job and that's only working 8 days a month...yes that is a little backwards I know.  Almost the same amount for working 8 days a month as working an entire month!

I guess what I'm saying is if/when I get this place I will have to start doing a shit load of indexing on my days off and treat them as a day at the library.  That will leave only Sunday's for any major homework and reading I have to get done.  This year I am going to school in the summer as well, trying to get all the required classes done this year so I can focus solely on my major and minor after this year.  That's another thing, I still owe $1000 for school this year as well...student loans didn't cover everything the last two semesters.  I'm hoping next year I will be able to get a bit more if I'm not living at home!!

Okay this rant is done!  I think I have come to the conclusion that I should at least text the lister and find out more about the place before I move forward.  Guess I just needed to write it all out in order to figure it out so thanks for reading this rant!
