Decisions, decisions

As I said in my last week, I got a ride to work but that created a problem.

My rides work shift is later than mine, so I have to work her shift, which means that I'm getting home to late to catch the train and make it to school on time.

Now I have to decide:

Do I make money by getting a ride to work, which means that I will miss class

or

do I decline the ride, and the money from work, and go to class?

Some friends of mine thinks that I should take the job because 'bills come every month and the job will pay for them, and school will always be there'.

For a second I agreed with them, but that made me think about how I've been in this position before, and made the wrong decision.

In the past I would start school, get a good job, then drop out of school, thinking that the job would last. Because of those decisions, I'm back to where I started from: no job and no degree.

I know I need the money, but I don't want to mess up my financial aid, because when the job goes, the aid will be what I'm left with. And, this time around, I am really focused on getting this degree because a high school diploma isn't enough anymore.

*sigh*

I'm going to drop the job and go to class.

With my inability to make the right decisions, I always fear that I'm not doing the right thing. I've thought about this all week and decided that this time around, I need to go to school. I've already let too many years pass by and I don't have time to waste anymore.

I hope I'm making the right decision.

What would you do?
