Who Am I?

Hi everybody!  I'm Kassie!

I suppose I should give you all a little background information if I expect you to read this.

Where to start...    Well, I'm a 30 year old, semi-single-ish, female, unemployed, college student.  I'm living with my parents right now, and I LOVE VIDEO GAMES!

Unfortunately, the previous statement is true.  On a side note, it wasn't always like this.  I had a fiance, a good job, and a home with a dog and a cat a bit over a year ago.  Things just kinda took a turn for the worse.  The good news is I'm going to have a degree in December!  My ex-fiance and I are patching things up, and looking for a home together.  (We didn't break up because we fell out of love.  We broke up because we were broke and had way too much stress.)

After I got laid off from my job, my other half and I decided it was my chance to go back to school, so I became a full-time student plus some.  Meaning, I'm trying to complete a 2 and a half year program in a year and a half.  So far things are on track, and as long as there are no major explosions this semester, I'll be done in December.  Unfortunately, with my school load, I find it difficult to find a suitable part time job.  Not for lack of trying.  I got a job at the local video rental store, which was working out quite well.  I knew the manager, and I liked it there, but then the corporate office came in and closed the store two months after I started.  I spent this spring and the first part of the summer working at a locally owned restaurant.  Then the owners decided to shorten their hours during the week to only cover the lunch rush, and being the lowest on the totem pole, I was out again.

So, I need to make some money.  Classes are starting up again at the end of the month.  I'm going to be super busy this semester.  I need something I can do when I can get around to it, not when they want me to be there.  Now I just have to find something that works!  Wish me luck!
