the contrasts of my life: highs and lows, drop out and ivy league, life and death, poverty and success, motherhood and singlehood, new home and foreclosure, unemployment and new directions, and the miracle of making it through each day.

$800

As one of the many overeducated and underemployed, I was overjoyed to make $800 last week (nothing illegal!). In fact it was the first time I have earned money (thank you a million times over to the friends and family who have kept my daughter and I afloat through these many hard months) since June 30th. Damn it felt good.

So, today's dilemma after deposting that check:
a. pay my sister the $750 in rent (already greatly subsidized) I owe her for December.
b. pay the November outstanding mortgage ($629) on my home that is in some kind of loan modification trial/semi-foreclosure status.
c. Leave the money in the bank to be available for the Jan 1st $1000 withdrawal for my LSAT course....yeah I know i'm already overeducated, but its all useless stuff. i need a transactional skill.
d. Get my daughter and other loved ones gifts for Christmas.

Any suggestions??
