i feel tried and lonely and confused and cold.
Man what a week, i am losing my ability to cope, and tonight i broke down.
The school load is too much and as i plow my way through i am losing sight of why i decide this in the first place.
How is it that we can know what we want to do with our futures?
We pour all this money into the system that the goverment lends us...would it not make more sense to raise taxes and let a college education be free to us all.
humm...not such a good idea.
Maybe i am fusrated with the amount of student loans on my back and nothing but confused to show for it.
There have been many situations over the last little while that make me think that i am not up for my chosen profession.
I have always wanted to be car mechanic, but is that realistic?
then i wouldnt have to deal with peoples personal problems, i would just need to talk to a inadimint object. (i hope that made sense, i do try with the spelling thing)
You (my friends on this system) are all guys, would you take your car to a chick over a guy. This is my survey.
And what do you think will happen to me in a class full of guys doing the so called "guy thing".
Would i be look at as a outsider, or unable to do the job, or just a chick trying to prove something.

When I started working as an electrician, I had to kiss my hands goodbye. My cutucles are constantly torn to shreds from reaching into my toolpouch for stuff. (to the point where they always hurt, and sometimes crack open and bleed) As well, I generally have about 6 or 7 significant lascerations on my hands at any given moment. (You cut yourself and just tape it up and keep going). One guy I worked with was reaching into a joist space in an old house and got a sliver (actually, more like a shard of wood) buried under his thumbnail all the way to the back. He just pulled it out with his linesmen pliers and kept going. I, on the other hand, nearly vomited.
Also, I would definitely agree that the demographic of this website is more openminded to females in the workplace than, say, at a local Hooters.
BTW, it takes a tough mother to nail through thrree of his fingers and keep going. Ouch!

I'm nearly at my breaking point with student loans ... while I'm getting harassed about paying back my earlier loans - even though I'm back in school now.
I hope everything works out for you.
