Patience

I am now officially waiting. In this age of get it done yesterday, and information at the touch of a smartphone/iPhone, I am left wanting. I want to know if I got admitted to the graduate schools; based on the GMAT I just finished, I may want to postpone admission to retake the exam. I am also waiting on a job. I've been waiting for awhile.

I haven't been working in such a long time, I don't know how I would approach work. I just need something to both occupy my time, and generate money. I would love to be financially independent and self-sufficient at this moment in my life. I feel like I am drowning at times. I just need some good news, preferably good news about a job and admissions.

I have been in steps to fix my credit and credit resolution is both an expensive and time consuming process. I find being a victim to be frustrating and exhausting. I have to call all these creditors and explain why I am a victim of identity theft. I have had some calls where I was blamed for my lack of financial responsibility. The issue is, I did not authorize someone to use my personal information to gain credit, and I do not want strangers using my information for personal gain. I do not see being a victim as something self-inflicting. I did not tell someone to use my credit, and I did not give permission to use any personal information to gain credit. I think the worse part about identity theft has to be fixing a problem I did not start. I could see how I should be responsible for my debt. I totally understand that. I do not understand how I should be responsible for another person's debt, compounded with a flag on background checks. I do not use aliases, and I refuse to let another person use my credit as a means to gain employment. I am sorry, but if you do not have the authorization to use the information for credit, you should not push your luck and use the information to gain employment. I cannot gain employment. I feel stuck, frustrated and exhausted.

Good news though, I managed to send out 12 out of the 13 credit dispute affidavits to fix the discrepancies. I still need to fax one, but I do not have the money to fax anything at the present moment. I need to fix it quick though. I did manage to send an extended credit warning to Experian. Hopefully, no new credit accounts should be opened without my authorization. I have my fingers crossed though.

Hopefully, I am in steps to redirect my life to where I should be: independent and productive member of society.
