Looking for a Shoulder to Cry On

I am ready to cry. I have had more difficulties with my money situations than I could ever have anticipated or been made aware of. Let me warn anyone who would like to come abroad to beware. The delays in approval for a bank account, the limited availability of funds, and limited access to those funds makes it very upsetting whenever you need to spend your money. It took me almost three weeks to get access to my money and then only at a UK bank in branch as I needed a pin code to use an ATM machine but because I moved from London to Oban during that time my pin code went to my london BUNAC address and sat there while they waited for me to come claim the letter. Then in Oban there was no National Westiminster Bank at all for me to go in - branch to. They were partnered with Royal Bank of Scotland but you can only withdraw money at an ATM with your pin which mine was in London. Then there was the added expense of moving to Oban. It cost me $224 US because the train company did not take my UK card with a pin code and it could not be used as a credit card. Then you have to be prepared to survive until you get paid in a month after you begin working. And you have to accept that you are going to get screwed financially as minimum wage is only 5.52/hour. Imagine working in the US for only $5.52/hour. You cannot live on that wage in either country. Because it is so difficult to live on that wage, I have been living off my travel funds for Europe. I set aside $6000 and am almost down to $4000 in savings. Once I convert that money to Euros I will lose 1/3 of my money. This means I may have to cut my European travels in half. I had hoped that my UK earnings would go farther and I would be able to reimburse myself but that has not happened. If my paychecks are not sufficient I dont know what I will do as my school advised me that I need to stay in my job until October to show length of work experience. Yet to do so could mean I have to potentially completely scrap my travels to the EU. I have been praying every day to have things improve. I am grateful that my flatmates are being extremely understanding and patient but it is embarrassing to commit to paying a deposit and not be able to pay it until the month is out. My flat mates still dont have all the deposit. I still owe them 100pounds and now I also owe them rent of 350. I am scared that my paycheck wont be enough to cover it and leave me enough to live until next payday at the last day of July. As it is, I should have been paid by direct deposit today and there is no money posted to my account. I have 18 pounds to my name right now. Part of me is ready to just chuck everything, quit my job,and just start traveling to the continent until my savings runs out. I see no silver lining or light at the end of the tunnel. I could go on. Yes there is more that I havent shared. There is so much s^%t and my hands are hurting just trying to get it all out. I still dont feel any better. I am watching a review of Star Wars on TV and I am reminded of all the lessons I learned from Obi Wan and I am feeling a little better. I will go and mediate on his teachings. May the force be with us all.
