The day... oy

Ok, today = seriously bad.

Let me preface with the fact that yesterday, I met with my cooperating teacher. It was an... awkward meeting, and I didn't exactly like the school, and I didn't exactly like the cooperating teacher, but I was being positive, and I was totally going to make the best of it.

My car also has been just stopping every so often in the past month. And stalling for no reason while driving in the middle of the road is NOT the funnest thing ever. So, I took it into a shop that day.

And now to today (and yes, I'm counting it as today, even though it's 2 AM), Well, I woke up at about 1 PM to a voice mail on my phone. Apparently, my cooperating teacher decided that she wasn't a fan of me, or something else, because she canceled my placement. Great. It makes me so happy when I was supposed to start on Monday.

Then I called the mechanic to see what was happening with my car. Well, there is about 15 things wrong with it. The three major things that HAVE to be repaired immediately it'll cost at least $800- $1,000. Considering it's such an old and cheap car, it's really not worth putting that much money into it, because it'll probably just die soon anyway. My dad and the mechanic agree.

So, now, even if I get a placement, which the clinical practice coordinator is trying hard to find one, I don't know how I'll be able to get there and back. And I've already poured all my money into the semester, because my financial aid ran out. So, I'm just having a grand 'ole time.

Today's been hard. I've cried my fair share, and I've just tried to keep everything good, focused, and real. Things will work out. I just have to hope. All I can say is that my eyes hurt and that causes me a headache. It just makes it all the better.

At least I still have my job.

When it rains it floods, eh? I think there's some sort of epidemic going around. Chin up, The Matt. I love you.
