Maria's Blog

Maria from Woodburn, Oregon and Guerrero, Mexico - (Mar. 1, 2006)

I just received news that I didn’t really like much, a call from one of my bosses who told me that I couldn’t work at my work-study job anymore because financial aid had taken my work study away because I don’t qualify any longer because I have a scholarship and make money at my other jobs. My boss tried to help me keep my work-study job which made me happy. I’m glad my boss likes me and tried to help me get my job back. Now I am sad and worried about what am I going to do with the time that I spent doing work study. I am not so worried about the money, but I’m going to be bored with the extra time. I told my boyfriend that I don’t know what I am going to do now. He told me that I still have the other jobs and I could use the time to do all my class work, and if not, he would help me do something so I wouldn’t be that bored.

Right now I’m actually studying more for my mid-terms. But now I am tired of studying so much and trying to finish all my assignments.
