So I'm sitting here, almost finished with my degree that I set out forever and a day ago to finish. When I started, I was incapacitated because of a knee injury that forced me to have surgery and could barely get around. I went to my first classes on crutches. I had lost about everything that I owned and was living at home with my parents. I had no idea if I would ever finish but it seems like I'm actually going to finish. I have to say without a doubt, the time that has elapsed since that day I started going back has been absolute hell. The stress and anxiety from all the money problems, family problems and the entire debacle of going to Oklahoma State that almost ended everything for me has definitely taken it's toll. I live pretty much in a shitty situation, with pretty shitty people because I moved to a big city with not a lot of money while trying to make it through school. I realize now how lucky I was before I lost my job. I had no money problems, plenty of friends ...
Good God, Orwell was right
