debt consolidation

I have been having sort of a busy semester so far.  My stress level seems to be going through the roof.  I have been working like forty hours a week on top of the eighteen credits I'm taking in school.  I spend any other moments that I'm not studying trying to review my debt consolidation.  As you can imagine, I don't have much of a social life.  The reason I have been working and going to school so much started three and a half years ago.    When I graduated from high school I decided to take a year off and not go to school right away. I had no idea what I would want to go to school for, so at the time I though it was the bets possible decision.  My parents made it very clear that they didn't approve of my decision and i wasn't surprised; they are both college Professors.  I had decided and gotten a job at a wood shop even before I had finally graduated.  When I came to work it was really fun, at first.  I worked about forty-five hours a week and spent the rest of my time reading and trying to build things after hours.  Right around the six month mark I started to get restless, as I am want to do.  I decided it was time to take this woodworking thing to the next level.  I looked up a program that teaches experienced woodworkers hot to build guitars.  The program started about three weeks after I found it and I jumped right at it.  I quit my job and took out the loan for ten thousand dollars.  That program was supposed to be a year long apprenticeship.  At six months I got restless again and decided I didn't want to do manual labor for my whole life and wanted to go to a liberal arts school.  So I dropped out and they kept my money.  When I got to this school and began to talk about finances it dawned on me how hard this was going to be.  Now, my parents have refused to give any debt help and I spend at least an hour a week doing bill consolidation.  Looking back, I would do it all over again, but I would have made some extra cash at the start.
