I'm okay with it...
I think almost everybody is aware now that I don't attend Baylor anymore. There were some stragglers there, by that I mean Shivam, that just figured out like yesterday that I was missing, but for the most part everyone knows.I'm okay with it. Not being in school and all. I still remember as if it were yesterday when my parents said they couldn't help any more, "Okay...you can get a credit card, quick fix, and be back in school tomorrow, OR, you can take the semester off, work Full-Time, pay it off yourself, and be back in school before you know it." I wasn't particulary peachy with any of those alternatives. But I'm okay with it now. I'll probably laugh at this later on in life. This "take-off" time will just be a dot on the timeline down the road. So, I'm okay with it.
However, it wasn't but a week ago that I WASN'T okay with it. I was angry, bitter, depressed, helpless, envious, melancholic, frustrated, all of the above, etc. I finally decided to take my parents advice, not make them feel any worse because they already feel inadequate, apply for a state job and follow through with the plan.
I've been applying since February for a state job. For every position. At every location. Submitting resumes, paper apps, online apps, going to walk-ins. Nothing. I did everything that could be done. I was relying on what I could do. So, I stopped finally, got a clue, and let God handle it. Till then, plan B...
Since the state never replied, I got a full-time job, on top of my part-time at DFS, with Ecommunications. I hate it (Not because the job is bad or the people are bad, but because I hate working at a place where I feel I'm not learning anything and wasting away my mental prowess). The job was sooo bad that I was the only one to return after the first day. But I thought, "I really don't have the luxury of being choosey." And what do you know, but just after a couple of weeks of sticking with Ecommunications, I run into my mother's old supervisor from at least 6 years ago. She works on the same floor I do, AND in the very next suite. AND guess what else?...She happens to work for the STATE and hiring for the exact positions I've applied for. Ah-hah. No kidding! Talk about some heavenly hook-ups from the very Creator himself.
So I got an interview next week. Very excited. God is letting me follow through with the plan, and I feel that much closer to being back in school. Yay for me.

This story is dedicated to those that find themselves in a similar position. And if you find that you are not in a similar position right now, it might be something you'll go through later. And if you don't think it will be something that you'll go through later, hopefully it'll inspire you through a hardship down the road. Whatever the hardship may be. Because no one is immune to hardship. So basically this is dedicated to everybody.
