*~*I swear, no matter what I do, something ALWAYS goes wrong. Tuesday, my grandmother and I went to CVCC so I could enroll in my classes and to turn in my Financial Aid form. Well, we found out that I had to pay half of what my tuition is the DAY I enroll. So the counsler gave us the amount, which was about $250. When we went to Financial Aid, we were told that I had to have the tax return of my legal parent. The first time we were in there, they had said the last person to support me. So we went back yesterday to pay for my classes and to turn in my FA. The counsouler who gave us the first amout gave us the IN-state tutition, and I'm out of state. So half of my tuition is $495. Well, in FA, they preceeded to tell us that since my mom was recently remarried, they also need JR's tax return as well. Luckily, Michelle's aunt said that she would loan me what I needed to pay the first half of my tuition.
*~*As if all the running around isn't enough, everyone in my family is pissed at me right now. My Aunt offer to pay for my college, buy me a car, and get me a job IF I went to VA Beach to live with her. I turned her down. Bottom line, I don't want to go. Everyone thinks I've made the stupidest decision of my life. No one understands why. My granddad even went out of his way to call me and bitch at me about it. But honestly, everyone is being very hypocritical. They think that its my dad and Michelle's fault because they won't tell me to go. They won't say anything, it's my decision, and they will support me either way. Now, my grandma told me that if anyone is asking me to live with them, they are being selfish. So, then why do I HAVE to live with my aunt? Bryant actually made a very good point when I told him about the offer: If she was really interested in helping me, then why does it matter where I go to school or who I live with? Everyone just thinks that by not going to VA Beach, that I'm not going to get where I want. I'm going to school this year. I WILL be a nurse. Maybe one day I will regret not going. But for right now, I'm happy with my decision.
