#151 - Picking up the pieces.

I once described my current position in life to vyctori as trying to build a house of cards taller than two levels, where every time I got anywhere near the second level, it only takes a tiny jolt of the table to topple everything over.

At least the cards all collapse into a neat (if pitiful) little pile as opposed to flying all over the place.

I've got a partially-filled application for Kohl's on my table. The only missing section is the chart where I have to fill in my hours, because we still don't have a second family car and thus I need to discuss with the parentals what times would be all right for me to steal the van, or for them to drop me off at the mall.

I also (hope that I) managed to clear up some issues with my Direct Loans. They'd already put me on a payment plan because I'd left school back in October, but I called their helpline and got someone to send me both an economic hardship deferment form (because I'm not working at the moment and I don't know how well a hypothetical job at Kohl's will work out, if at all) and then an in-school deferment form, to send in once I return to school in the fall. I currently owe about $8000+ in loans, oy.
