I've always been under the impression that life is a series of steps, and sometimes I'm bound to trip or fall. Currently, I keep tripping over known and unknown obstacles, but I'm a fighter, I know what is expected of me. I was supposed to finish my final paper last night, before today's 5pm (PST) deadline. The recession is un-ending, yes I have a job, yes I'm able to go to school, and yes I'm able to make some kind of living. But living shouldn't be about struggling, and I'm utterly tired of struggling. Currently, I've tripped over the High Gas Prices, I'm literally having to watch my gas gauge and hoping that it will last until Friday (PayDay). I'm not complaining, I can tell based on my projections that things will improve soon... but soon can be 6 to 12 weeks, or 6 to 12 months... its hard to tell these days.
