A Little Lost

Fall '08 semester was really hard for me. I lost a fiance, my best friends all moved, I went to work 40 hours a week, took 19 hours of class.



I know, there are people who have it worse, and do better. People who climb mountains. People who conquer.



I fell flat on my face.

Thursday night, my semester grades came in. Four W's, four F's. No credit for semester. I absented out. Too much working until 1 am and staying up, winding down, and working on homework til 4 or 5.

My parents called, and asked me to come home so they could talk to me. They said they're taking my financial support away. They said they were disappointed. But mostly, they said they were worried. I seemed lost, and scared, and unhappy.

And they're right, because I was. And, I still am a little. I now have three choices. Go back to work full time, go to school and work full time, or find something else.

They told me to find what makes me happy. They told me to like myself, and whatever I find, they'll support it.

Where do I start?
