I don't feel like doing anything tonight.
I'm feeling nauseous, I worked all day, comforted sick people, convinced people to take medications they didn't want, had a difficult money conversation with Meridyth, made dinner, cleaned the messes I made at my parents house, and now I am sitting down at 8 p.m. to study Anatomy and Physiology for a test I have on Saturday. Did I mention I have to try and study Statistics after that?
As I mentioned above, I don't want to do anything. Really what I want do to is watch the last Housewives of New Jersey and chill out my brain to get ready for tomorrow.
However, after I talked to Mer she told me I needed to read Michelle Obama's DNC speech last night. She didn't tell me why she just said I should before I started studying.
I did. I cried.
I am a Democrat, particularly on social issues. I personally think it would hard to be a Republican because I am a Gay woman who right now has no legal marriage rights in Maryland because of conservatives.
Yet, I don't think I cried because I am a Democrat and it was a kick ass speech. I cried because the speech spoke to what Meridyth and I are living right now.
We are STRUGGLING (can I make that any bigger an emphasis?) to pay our bills. I have medical bills past the 10,000 because of my surgery. We both have student loans from undergrad, and Mer and I are both in school again so we can make more money and hopefully have a family and take care of our parents as they get older if they need it.
I want to be successful, but like many people it gets discouraging when I work a 40 hour work week and can barely cover my bills let alone pay for groceries or medications.
Michelle Obama's speech made me feel re-energized tonight. Especially her story of President Obama driving a rusted out car and that their student loans costing more than there first mortgage every month.
Even though I really do just want to relax tonight, as my co-worker always say's before we do something difficult, "Put your big girl panties and get to it!".
I'm going somewhere. I will be able to provide for my family one day and if I must stay up and study after a long day so be it!
Lots of Love,
Jess
