  1. If I go home I will need to pick up two shifts at work to pay for the fuel I spent to go home and come back.
  2. If I go home it will subtract a whopping 23 hours from my available study time (travel time and work time).
The cost of the school year is ****ing me in the wallet, so I need to be able to make the odd 50-80 bucks at work, but I can't find the time to go home to do it.


I just can't win and I don't see how anyone else gets it done.
Have you considered donating plasma to research institutes? That's what my friend and I are doing right now and we're both making $65 a week. It's not much but it's enough to pay for my gas, so if there's something similar like that in B.C. and you don't have any moral objections to what the companies then actually use your blood for, it could help take the edge off, maybe make it so you only have to do 1 shift instead of 2.

Just a thought.
