Sorry to vent like this again, I know it's becoming a habit and I promise to stop once this shit in my life clears up. I have to ask you folks for some personal advice.
I've been going to school part time and working a full time job since November. I love school 100%. I like work, it pays me good money which enables me to go to school. My issue is that I've run myself ragged thus far. I was diagnosed last month with an intestinal ulcer due to lack of sleep (I'm up at 6 for work, I get out at 5 and go straight to school where I also work on clients till 10:30. I don't get home till 11, sometimes 11:30. I shower, eat, then go to bed usually by 12), poor nutrition (I'm in sales and I run amock so BK or Wendy's are my food options), lack of water (getting up at 6 and going all day requires a pot of coffee by 9AM), and stress (bills, bills, and more bills). I've also had issues with my car, which my bf wrecked 2 months ago and things are still messed up with that.
Since my diagnosis, I've changed my eating habits and started to take care of me more. I've missed some school time which I was told I could make up so long as I didn't miss anymore school.
Well, yesterday I got pulled over on my way to work. My sticker had expired and for some fucked up reason my plates were registered to the wrong vehicle, so the cops took my plates and towed my car and gave me a $150 ticket. I had no way to get to school. So I got a call last night from the school telling me I've been put on suspension and that I have to wait 3 months then go in front of a board of admins to be readmitted into the school. I'm 3 weeks from graduating my 300 hour class. This totally fucks my school plan for the next few years. There's also nothing the school can do for me, it's state law.
I've also just found out there's a $500 deductible on ER visits on my health insurance, which means my CAT scan from a few weeks ago is going to cost me a lot of money that I don't have.
My boss could care less about school. He's telling me to focus on work and put school on the back burner. He got mad at me for worrying about how to get to school yesterday instead of worrying about how to get to work. I can get another job. I can't get another school (I'm in for Medical Esthetics and it's the best school in my area). He also suggested I quit school for a while after I was diagnosed with an ulcer.
So here's my dilemma - I'm about ready to quit my job, get a part time job, suck up the suspension and just wait, and go back to school with less of a work load. I'll be hurting for money, but I'll be less stressed and more focused on school, which is and should be my top priority regardless of what my boss thinks. I just don't want my bills to swallow me up. My bf is totally against dancing (which was my first choice, believe me!) and I don't want him supporting me (my own pride issue). What do I do? Am I thinking the right way? My boss loves having me here and it's a good job, but it's only a means to an end for me. I have no interest in selling print work!
Sorry this is a freakin novel![]()

. With such a tight schedule, if anything goes wrong, then it just seems to snowball and problems stack upon problems.
