I am so angry because of this crisis that is going on now. it hadn't affected me that much cause we have nice jobs and have always been rather smart when it comes to money and our mortgages are not sky rocketing like they are for so many people around here. But now I am mad. I was talking to the guidance counsellor at my school cause I wanted to make a plan I can try to work by and to see how many classes I have left before I can graduate and she tells me that there are gonna be some changes. School through the Internet will be more expensive and it's very pricey already, and fewer classes will be available. AAAARRRRGGGGGG I hate this, I don't think I'll ever graduate and will be stuck in a job I don't want for ever. I won't know until the end of August what classes will be and how much it will cost me but I just wanted to finish this so I can quit my job and go to university. When I was a kid I would dream of studying at Cambridge, when I got pregnant and bought an apartment I decided to let the uni here in Iceland be enough and I am happy about that I just want to get there.

I am ranting now and I just need to relax with a cup of coffee, and then get my kid from playschool.

I sometimes wish I hadn't quit school when I did but I also think I wouldn't have my boy if I had stayed in school because I met his dad through a girl I worked with.

these decisions you make in life can affect so much in a positive and a negative way, I feel like I can never be content or happy about things. I know I don't want to be without my son, he is the love of my life but having a family gives obligations and more responsibility I sometimes don't want.

This is enough for now if I go on I'll drive myself crazy...

    Good luck, Helga. Paying for school is a b****; tuition in the states keeps going up, and I wonder if I am going to be able to help my kids get educated. Very distressing.

    I am sorry to hear about the tuition going up and the constraints on you, Helga. Perhaps there are other options or perhaps you can get a part time job. Your education is important, so don't give up so easily. Perhaps you can take less classes at a time and just persevere a little longer.

    Also, don't despair about the choices you made. First they're made and what's done is done. Second, the love you have for your son is priceless and worth much more than what you would get in any school or job. You have to count the happiness you have than any potential happiness you might get. And who says that achieving one's dreams is happiness. You don't know what other problems they bring. I wish you the best.

    Helga,
    Finishing school can always feel like climbing one side of an endless mountain. Good luck!
