Weighing my options

I have been out of class for a week visiting my hometown Tennessee. I have a ill father that needed (click on link to see info on device) Cardiac Defibrillator in his heart.  It's hard to take in right know with being a full time student needing to take off work for a week and I missed a week of class. These are the factors that add to my stress.  I love my father and I wanted to stay longer to support my mother, but I have so much going on back in Virginia, which is where I live now. I move forward two steps in life and fall back 5 steps that's the story of my life will the stress ever end? When I was home with my parents I felt like the world had stopped and then began to move slow (not just because it was the country), but because when I was younger mom and dad took care of everything I never saw the struggle. I wish I was a little more prepared and not sheltered.

On January 12th  I received a letter in my email from my fathers doctor requesting me to come home immediately. My father surgery took place on the January 23rd and I also had to go to court on the same day here in Virginia. I got paid on Friday which left me no time to pay the ticket before 3:30 pm instead of going to court that Monday. On top of that situation I am just starting a full load of classes. I missed two of all four of my classes and have a exam in my philosophy class this coming Wednesday with no notes, which I don't have anyways. I could drop my philosophy class with no refund because that seems to be the hardest to catch up in. What should I do?  Continue on the path that I'm going, who knows I might surprise myself and pass.

I took one week of work at the last minute. Retail is not a easy place to request time off with especially short notice. Filling a position is hard in the line of service I am in. I work for sprint wireless and I have quotas monthly I have to meet these quotas to receive a commission check. I get paid every 2 weeks as well, but my main source of of income is my commission check. I am behind tremendously in quota not only because I took a week off, but because I switched locations and I wasn't use to the selling techniques in this store. Switching locations made it a little easier not having to drive 1 hour there and 1 hour back at 10:00PM, but this store is a lot busier. I guess I the saying can't have your cake and eat it it to fits this situation perfectly.

I feel like even though things are going everyway but right that its for the better. I need to learn how set a plan in motion to keep my life organized. I  actually turned down going to hooters with my co-workers tonight and to applebees with my home girls. If you know me which your learning a little now about me, you need to know that was the hardest decision ever for a huge social butterfly as myself--just playing. I think and worry daily about my fathers situation and I really believe my dad knows my heart and knows I desire nothing more then being with my father FYI (for your information) I am a daddies girl. I really believe he wants me to finish my education though which is very important to make it in today's society.
