Oh My Beloved Health Insurance Where Art Thou? :(

And here I am again. At the hospital. It's become such a usual habit now. Sometimes it feels like a 2nd home, sometimes it feels like jail. My sister is being treated for fever and with her leukemia you can never be too sure. I've quickly become the person to stay over with her, and go to the appointments with since I'm currently quite free.  

I'm still looking for a job but unfortunately with not enough fervor as I would like to search for it with. I just don't have the energy. Each application takes so long, but I'm getting there. Slowly but surely. I have just had a lot of issues on my plate lately. Namely my lack of health insurance. My Medicaid is over since I'm 22 and I don't have a job, therefore I am pretty much screwed. I tried to get Medicaid again but apparently if you collect unemployment, and they pay more than minimum, you are no longer eligible. I only applied for unemployment because the Medicaid office told me I had to receive it in order to get Medicaid, and now I can't even receive health insurance. Does that make any sense? My 2 teeth have been bothering me so it was of utmost importance to get health insurance. My search for it resulted in all dead ends so I ended up just paying for it. So far I paid $85 for only an X-ray. $90 for an extraction and soon I will pay another $120 for a cavity. $300 altogether. That's crazy. 

REJECTED, BUT RELIEVED

Got rejected from MSW again and you know what? I was kinda glad. Actually no, it hurts my pride to get rejected again especially since they said that everything was perfect. I was glad about the rejection though because recently I've been thinking that maybe I don't want to do social work as a career. I've researched and researched and honestly for me at this point in my life I don't want to invest so much time in something that's not so secure and comes with a lot of emotional baggage, not to mention the low pay as well. I was prepared for all of that though but after gaining more experience in education this seems to fit my goals at the moment. I can't honestly say that I have a passion for it, but I do like it. How many people actually know what they have a passion for? I envy those that truly have a passion for what they're doing. I probably just need more experience before I'll know. Ironically, now that I've decided not to continue in social work I'm receiving more opportunities in it. Weird, right?
