College is Expensive....

Books are going to cost me over $350. Ridiculous. How am I going to be able to continuously afford this??? I guess I got to start applying to more scholarships, because this is getting to be ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that I've got to spend $8.20 4 times a week to get to my classes and another $7.60 about 5 Saturdays to volunteer at the free clinic. I have no problem with doing the volunteer work, it's just that school is going to be really expensive for me. Working isn't going to cover all my costs either. I have to pay my mother $680 for running a red light about 10 months ago. That's where all my money is going. I hate money. I hate everything about money. It is disgusting and it shouldn't have this much control over my life, but it does. Money is awful. I can't believe I have to pay thousands of dollars in order to get a degree to be a teacher. I have to pay money in order to be able to get paid later in life. Sick cycle. I will never be free of money and the debts it's going to bring into my life. All I want to do is be a high school history teacher. That is my dream. But, it requires me to get a degree and go through a certification process. After I am done with my bachelors degree, I want to go for my masters so that I can be even more certified to do the job that I really want to do. It's going to suck. I got to spend money in order to eventually make money doing what I love. This is going to suck, but that's the educational system for you. That's life. La puta vida.

Just a small update... I actually got out of paying the traffic ticket by going to court... YAY! I don't have to pay my mom any money now. All debts have been cleared this summer!
