I haven’t posted anything of substance in a long time. I’ve always been susceptible to depression, and the past few weeks have been tough for me…all this worrying about getting my school work done by the end of the semester, the running total of my student loans ($18,000…and I have over a year left!), feeling neglected by my family (a totally self-manufactured worry…well, mostly), worrying about my dwindling bank balance, and wondering whether I should quit school. It’s a miracle that I haven’t lost it completely! A lot has been going on in the world of politics that I would love to rant about, but I just can’t muster the energy. This kind of thing happens to me a lot, but I’m always able to pull myself through, and I will this time!
I do have some good news, though. I got a job for the summer at a little clothing and accessories boutique at the mall. They sell slightly bohemian, low-priced items and I already own a few of their pieces. The store seems low-key (and probably low-volume) and the staff are very friendly. I’m hoping that earning some money and taking the summer off from school will rejuvenate me, which is exactly what I need. And hopefully soon I can continue my uneducated coverage of the presidential campaign, because I know you all depend on me so much!
Aw im sorry you have been having a rough time.
I too suffer from depression so I know how it grinds you down.

Sending hugs yuor way in the hopes that they make you feel a little better.
Your summer job sounds good though. And I look forward to reading your election coverage too.
Thanks, Nici and Kell! My first day at work is Monday, so I’m sure I’ll be feeling better soon!
I hope you feel better soon Sarah and congratulations on the new job!
sorry to hear that you have been feeling down. I hope the black cloud soon passes. The job sounds great fun and something to look forward to and also help with finances. Perhaps you could make some bead jewelery for them to sell for you, too? It looks really pretty. Take care.
Thanks again, everyone! You’re all just lovely!
Hey little sis. I am sorry that you are feeling depressed. You and Zeke did such a great job at my old house! I hope you guys can come down to our new one!
I wanna see it!!!! Mom said it’s really awesome, and I think she’s kind of jealous. When I get some time, we’ll come down.
