unfortunately, my father got laid off yesterday after twenty-seven years of working in his field because his company has outsourced to places like china and india. at this point, nothing is certain. we've got an appointment with a real estate agent tomorrow. my dad lost not only his job, but our family's health insurance & any benefits, not to mention (on a selfish level) both the upcoming opportunities i had to study abroad this/next year. i'm going to try to find a job so i can have my own health insurance & help my family out, but the deposits for my china & italy study abroad programs are due in less than a week & i don't think i've got much of a shot at those. honestly, i don't even know why i'm worrying about it. there's a strong chance i may not even be going back to school next semester if i can't get a new scholarship or renew the one i have now. sure, i could take out loans, but i think i'd rather use them to keep the house.
i'm scared.
