This ISN'T the First Post

Okay, so we wanted to do a first post about how our lives really are like Lizzy and Jane, but... yeah I have better things to do with my time. Maybe we'll get to that some other time. I'm not totally in the happy, upbeat mood I want the blog to be like either, but hey. I'm writing, and thats happy.

I'm trying to make a decision about quitting work. I know that school is the most important thing, but I hate to go deeper into debt, and I like my job. How many people can say that? I don't think all that many. I don't know what the answer is, but I know what's going on right now is not working, and that quitting work is the only concrete thing I can change. Sigh. My mom thinks I should just quit, which is surprising actually, considering how money-minded she is. I think that right now she just has so much else on her plate that she doesn't need me calling her every week to tell her how I'm having a breakdown. I kind of agree with that. I don't need to be whining all the time. I have so much to be grateful for. I just need to sit down and sort out what I can and can't do.

Things I'm not getting done: Some of my homework, writing to my friends on missions, figuring out what I want to do with my summer, figuring out what I want to do with my FUTURE, a social life, cooking for myself, exercising, writing in my journal, writing a blog, keeping up with my spirituality...

Wow. That is a pretty big list. I don't think quitting my job will make me be able to do all those things, but I will be able to do more of them, especially the most important ones.

Deep breath. Say a prayer. I think I'm quitting.
