The last 6 weeks...lol

Well the last six weeks have been pretty stressful actually.  I have been unemployed for some time now and financial issues continue to become grimmer and grimmer as we speak.  All and all I try to remain positive and see the light at the end of the tunnel,,,but the tunnel seems to be getting longer, and therefore frustrating...Right now, because I have not yet found another job...school has kind of become that temporary substitute.  I have plenty of time to complete school work, so school is never an added stressor...sometimes it is a relief.  If I am focused on an assignment then I am not, for that moment, stressing about anything else..so I try to keep telling myself that homework is therapeutic.
