I came home from the beach yesterday and found my mom reading her mail at the computer. I bent over to see what she was reading, and it just so happened to be an e-mail from my dad. It said, verbatim " Can't pay for 4 years at Sarah Lawrence. Tell Isabelle she'll transfer after a year". ok. So the college is ridiculously expensive. Pathetically so, even. BUT. My dad and I went to the fianncial aid office and talked to the bitchy lady for almost an hour. We got the exact figures of the cost of books, tuition, meal plan, the exact sum I actually was getting as aid, the amount of work study I was going to do and how much a job at the Gap in Bronxville will give me. I mean, we went over every detail. On the train ride beack to the city, my dad was obviously really shaken and upset because the aid I am getting is really a joke. But he said I could go if I wanted to. He thought about all day, and told me I could go. What does he know now that he didn't know then??? I am so upset. This is fucked up.
