It looks impossible until you succeed. (Much like my current search for a job.)

@SKJAM!
I’ve been where you are. In 2003, the tech company I worked for slashed its workforce. I took a job as an assistant manager for a drug store — 6 days, up to 70 hours a week. I hated it but it allowed me to meet my responsibilities. Sometimes, we have to take what is available. Eventually, I landed a job in the IT department of a financial services company, a job that paid better and I enjoyed doing.

The school she “attended”—Boalt?—actually had a seat for her at that graduation. I love when he real world goes along with the fictional sometimes.

All that worry, all that stress, all that hard work. She made it.
