Getting it Together

A NEW PLACE

This weekend I will be moving to a new place!  I am renting a room out of a house that I used to live in many, many years ago.  The rent is $450 and includes utilities, cable, and internet.  I needed to move because my student loan consolidation should be complete soon and I need to make room to pay it.  I could have moved home, but I know that will not work.

CLOSER TO MY SIDE HUSTLE

A while back I mentioned working at home rating classroom videos.  I could not complete this task from my old apartment due to the internet connection being slow.  I slept in my new place last night and completed the certification for that job and passed!  Now I just have to wait on my schedule and I can start work.  :)

A NEW JOB?

I have been really unhappy with my job lately.  I had some time off this week due to me having emergency surgery, but I go back on Monday.  I was trying to wait five years so I can receive student loan forgiveness ($17,500 gone!), but now I'm thinking that I won't make it.  So I'm thinking of maybe applying to grad school now instead of next year.

On another note...why does student loan consolidation take so long?  I started the process back in July and it's still not done.  I need to request a forbearance on my loans again because I cannot pay $800 a month.
