Dear 2008, I hate you!

I can't believe it's April already. Time flies. There's still snow on the ground but the weather is definitely getting nicer by the day.

I'm hoping this summer will be amazing, because so far, 2008 has been the worst year ever! First I get a bartholin cyst and had to have emergency surgery. Never had surgery before in my life, so it was very scary. Was sick for days because of all the medication that they put me on and it was such a pain in the ass. Then I fuck up my internship for school and totally blow my chances of getting hired there! My boyfriend cheated on me and broke up with me, and didn't feel sorry at all. That really hurt. I quit my job and for the first time since 2003, I'm unemployed. It's been a few months now and I can't stand doing nothing all day, so I really need to find something quick. My mom got laid off, for the first time in her life, and my dad got laid off as well. My mom found a new job and starts Monday, but my dad hasn't and won't find another job, so I'm praying that American Axil in the States will end their strike so my dad can go back to work! He hurt his back when I was really young and since then has been on comp or light duties. So nobody else will hire him. So this is pretty scary because if the strike doesn't end, he won't go back to work, which means he will most likely be unemployed for the rest of his life and we can't afford that. And I don't know if the strike will ever end because they want to cut the employee's wages in half, from $28 to $14.50 and that's just not going to cut it. Nobody can raise a family on that little money.
I applied at The Beer Store, 4 of them here in the city, and hopefully one of them calls me back. If you are reading this, say a little prayer for me? I desperately need a job.

And I've been sick for about 2 weeks now. First it was just a sore throat, and I was sick to my stomach. Seemed to go away for a little while and it's hit me again full force, except this time there's no stomach flu, just a seriously sore throat. I went to urgent care this morning and had to wait 75 minutes. Bullshit, but it happens. Now I have to take penicillan 4 times a day for 10 days. I should have gone to the doctor's sooner but I'm stupid and just thought it would go away on it's own. Obviously not, and now I'm really paying for it. My ears fucking kill, my whole body aches and it hurts like no other to swallow. Please, go away soon so I can go visit my "special friend" in Toronto because I really miss his awesomeness! Oh, and I had to pay for the medication because my mom took me off her health insurance and my dad's insurance thinks I'm under someone else's insurance. Tomorrow I'm going up to the school to see if they can give me a paper saying I'm enrolled and hopefully get on my stepmom's insurance. I need to be on someone's because it ends for good in September I believe because I'm over the age limit and won't be in school, and I need to get my wisdom teeth taken out before that happens because I can't afford that shit.

But seriously.. this year has just been one bad thing after another.
At least I'm keepin it positive!
