Stressed Out
I think the stress is starting to take its toll on me again.........new symptoms are coming up such as upset crampy stomach all the time, total loss of appetite, weight loss, shortness of breath, extreme fatigue.......why, you ask? Ill tell you why. I am in debt. I am getting a job to pay off said debt in oh, about 2 years so when I finish my bachelors all I will owe is my student loans. Why? I want good credit. Also, I cant work if I get accepted to.......wait for it......LAW SCHOOL! I can only work a max of 20 hours and will not be able to contribute to my debt snowball. Anyhoo, a major thing stressing me out is getting accepted. Im going to take the LSAT this June. One thing bothering me is the fact that I didnt disclose to my current college 2 of 3 colleges I previously attended, because I have a balance with them and wasnt able to get transcripts. fETA: On their Fall 09 catalog, it stated, AND I QUOTE "If you wish to transfer credit from another institution, please submit official transcript from the school you wish to transfer credit from." or something alone those lines. I dont remember reading anything saying "disclose all colleges even if you just withdrew and didnt get credit." So yeah. I did fill out a Financial Aid form that said to list ALL colleges attended but as per the catalog, I only wrote down the ones I wanted credit from and whose transcript I did have. I am transferring to University this Fall and with my new job pay off those school debts (which is a part of my debt snowball anyway) and get those transcripts and turn them in to my new school. What I wonder is if the CAS will notice or care that I did not disclose the information to my current college. I definitely have to tell them and send them transcripts which will not be a problem because I plan on paying them off this semester to turn them in next fall to TAMIU. Maybe I'm over reacting as usual. I dont even know if CAS will even notice that I didnt tell LCC. another thing Im worried about are all the drops on my record! 1st drop PCC: We were young, stupid, 19, and alone in Los Angeles CA. We werent making it and had to leave because we were dead broke. 2nd Drop BUA: My BIL went psychopath and was threatening us for helping my SIL find a women's shelter because he was abusing her. The University was very understanding and although they wanted us to stay they understood our fears (I already had Scarlett and was pregnant with Serenity). So we left. To Tyler, my next drop. 3rd Drop:I was going to TJC, everything was just peachy until I noticed I couldnt eat anymore......twas scary. I lost 10 pounds in 1 month and my life just crumbled apart due to my excessive fears. I was really sick. So I withdrew that semester as well. Now Im at LCC and Ive dropped 3 classes here in total since Ive been attending on and off since 06. First two were because I was unprepared to take 4 classes at once and completely stupid and immature. 2nd time was because I took two science classes with two lecture and two labs all in the same semster. I then decided it was a big mistake and out of fear of my GPA dropping, I withdrew one (which, by the way, was led by an instructor whose teaching credentials must have been earned at Wal Mart) So there you have it. I wonder and hope that CAS and law schools will not care about the drops. I know they ARE going to say something and it obviously doesnt warrant a POSITIVE reaction, but I can explain myself. So those two issues are stressing me out hard core. I may cry now. and eli just called and is going out after work at 8. Yay. The whole day by myself. Its torture. I really hope I can handle a job and full time school.
