I totaled my car and live a 20 minute drive from my job, on a good day. This is proposing some issues. I haven't decided what i'm going to do yet. My father wants me to borrow money from the bank to fix my car or buy a new one. My credit won't allow me to do that. Here are some of the options i've been weighing over in my head:

1) Quit my job in Kalamazoo and get one in Richland. This may be difficult because of Michigan's economy and the lack of job availability anywhere. With this option, I can walk to work and continue to live in my parents house, for free. Free food, free rent, free laundry, free internet.

2) Buy a bicycle this week and bike to work in Kalamazoo, while continuing to live at my parents. This would be a sweet option, but it'll still take me at least an hour to bike to work and i'd have to take one of the busier roads.

3) Find a room to rent in Kalamazoo and keep my job (and maybe potentially find another). I've gotten an offer from a friend of a friend who has an extra bedroom in which he would rent to me for $225 a month. This sort of set-up would be optimal, because I wouldn't have to sign a lease, and I could just do it for a couple months while I save up money for another car.

FUCK.

This week has been up and down in some of the worst ways. I just really wanted to get my life together here and it seems to be just as (if not more) stressful than when I was in Lincoln.

So, if anyone has any other ideas as to what I should do, please let me know.
