On the bright side.

Wait, is there a bright side?
Im still stuck with living at home for the time being which is not good. I am spending ridiculous amounts of money driving back and forth to where I need to be and where I would rather be. My cats have been driving me crazy. I haven't been able to be home lately because I've been so busy with school. But uhhh anyways! So when I am home all three cats are following me about and meowing at me and walking across the keyboard or sitting in front of my screen which is the current dilemma. It wouldn't be so much of a problem if I didnt still live here though because I would be able to have friends over to myyy place and in turn would be there more often.
Heres a bright side: I just got a raise at work and am officially Supervisor even though thats the job I've been doing for the past few months. Atleast now I have the 'title' and a better paycheck. They also are giving me more hours which is a great thing but at the same time is putting alot of strain on my studies. But that is life and I'm grown and its time to take care of responsibilities and not act like a child.
It can be hard to take on all these responsibilities. Not because its more work but because there is a lot of pressure from the outside, as in friends who are not grown and have little to no responsibilities. I'm trying extremely hard to not fall behind in studies and get distracted with minute things that do not matter. Its strange because a lot of the people I hang out with have no idea what my life is like. I go to school fulltime and I work nearly full time. That is alot more than a lot of people can say. So I wake up early in the morning and go to school. I come home for 2 hours and turn around and go to work and Im there for generally 7 hours. Then I get off late at night and theres about 2 hours I have until midnight, which is when I typically try and fall asleep. So the few hours I'm home during the day, both in between school and work and after work I am studying or reading for school. My life is dull and boring during the week. Throughout the week not only am I running around like a goose with my head cut off but I have constant txtmsgs from people asking me "whats up?" and "lets do something tonight". I won't lie, it is very tempting. I try so hard not to fall into it but then I always feel guilty like I'm letting my friends down. Which I know I shouldn't feel so bad but I do. They just really have no clue what its like to work as hard as I do at both school and work. So I'm starting to learn how to balance everything out. I suppose there just used to the Blaire of the summer who does something every night because I don't have to worry about school in the summer. That might also change this summer because I might consider taking atleast one summer class, which I don't think would be so bad. Whooo, that was a lot of ramble.


I recognize that this is an altogether off the wall thought but I just don't want to let anyone down.
