Okay, this morning, I was as close to homeless as I've ever cared to be. I (however amicably) had to vacate where I was living.
I have $200.00 to my name, failing grades, no further cash, no place to live, and a scant few people I can call to bail me out. As of 11:00 this morning, I was fucked.
So I'm contemplating my next move. I email my Student Advocate here at Liberty, letting her know the situation. I end up going to talk to her, and to both our suprises (mine especially), I have an $830 dollar credit due me. $830 will put me in a pretty decent apartment here, give me first and last month's rent plus a security. One of my best friends also says I can crash at his place for a month, so now I have time to hunt for an apartment.
Moreover, I applied for a job at the university. Liberty not only gives unlimited tuition to full-time employees, but also gives them a $1,500.00 credit towards other colleges and schools in case a class isn't offered here, or is full up, and is good for spouses and dependent children also. I applied for janitorial, being that I've been in custodial and sanitation-dependent jobs all my life, be it in warehouses, construction, or food service.
Also to my shock, I find out I haven't failed any classes. In fact, a class I was sure I failed, I actually got a C in. Mind you, this was an 8:00AM class I went to, like, five times, total.
Coincidence? I think not. The vast majority of you will mock this, say it's bullshit, just a lucky hit. I know the Chief is watching over me.
... And if it sounds like I'm rubbing this in your face, all "My God loves me more than your <insert worldview/religion/deity-or-lack-thereof here>", well, I've fucked up more gravy trains than I care to remember. I'm an idiot, plain and simple. Fuckin' stupid.
But God sees otherwise, I guess...
