Contemplating Life Choices

Ok, so yesterday, my momma started talking to me about not working at the Kum&Go next semester. This in and of itself is interesting. My mom has always been a firm proponent of me working. She has been all about it from the beginning. However last night she starts saying that if I needed/wanted to stop working it wouldn't be the worst thing. Now, I've been thinking about this before, playing with the idea, not committing to it. But when she mentioned it, I realized that maybe there is some stock in this idea. Like, next semester I'm taking 19 credits, I am doing the Tower, and I've promised myself a social life. The fact that I have to "promise myself a social life," says so much about how I need a break. And maybe if I didn't work, I could do even better in my classes and better my writing skills. Not to mention read more. Basically, I would be doing things that would actually better my life.

I have been contemplating this idea all night at the Kum&Go. And maybe it's just because tonight and last night were two of the most hellish nights I've had there, but I am seriously thinking of working the summer, plus maybe 2 or so weeks in September, and then giving in my notice. I mean, sure I'd basically have to live off of student loans, but I could try and get work at the college. I don't know. Right now, I'm feeling like being in debt is totally worth having a college experience here. I am going to talk to my momma a little more about it, and I am going to think about it more. It might be a plan?
