I teach at a local Community College. It's the perfect job! I work two days a week and make enough to pay my bills. Until yesterday. The administration cancelled all the summer classes due to budgetary constraints. That's 1/3 of my yearly income! And you can BET the administrators aren't taking a 1/3 pay cut!

I went through shock, sorrow, anger all within about 3 hours. Then I got manic, then I got depressed... and off we go on the merry-go-round.

I was just feeling like I had my feet under me financially. Now I won't be able to pay my student loans for the next several months and will have to tighten my belt with everything else. Fortunately, I could stand to lose a few pounds. And thankfully, I will get unemployment.

I was really having a nice week and now this. sigh.

At least I know it's not that they don't like ME or fired ME, they just can't afford ANY summer classes. There are a lot of us in the same boat.

Thanks for letting me rant.

Leaving the manic now, headed down again...
