Random Scrap:

While working in front of the machine sweating I kept making calculations in my head. This was not a dream job but if I could say get five shifts per week with 4-6 hours per evening I would make around 150-200 dollars per week. That would total to about 1,000 per month if I was lucky so I should be able to make just enough to put aside about two and half thousand per semester for tuition then three fifty for room. It was not enough but it was something. The only other issue was that I knew right away I would hate this job. But if I soldered on maybe I could find some other location. Of course, my vision had been quickly abrupted. But there was something better waiting for me down the line. My mood had shifted. Of course I was still worried about the money was running short. But at least now I had a proof that it was worth something. Walking on the streets of that hot desert had started to resemble looking for water on Mars. But there was no way I was getting on a plane back home so I just kept walking.
