Wow, I'm sorry you're getting so screwed over by UofL! Why the fuck would they send a collections agency on your ass without even alerting you first? That's really sad. :( I'm scared to death of student loans, that's why I only took classes if I could pay them off immediately during registration. I hope you get all of that worked out, it's nasty business. :(

Wish I'd done that. Mind you, that means I wouldn't have been able to start school until about 2015... Society told me I was supposed to go to college right after high school...then again, when have they ever been right?

I went to college right after high school, but I had been working since I was 14 and had enough money saved up to pay for full time classes for the first year. It was a mistake though, because working full time and going to school full time didn't work out so well for me, and I dropped out after one year. Too much stress. :(

I learned that much about myself long ago. I could probably afford crap if I could handle any amount of stress that other people seem to be so readily capable of handling. *wards off the emo spirits*

I know what you mean, I'm always in awe of people who are able to balance full time work and full time classes, and not have a mental breakdown.

I do part time work and full time class (and fulltime as in 12-13 not 18-20 like the psycho kids these days) and I'm still staring in the face of a mental breakdown every other day.

therussianenemy November 18 2009, 05:51:55 UTC

I have a feeling you'll pull through. :)

Where do you work?

me_llamo_nic November 18 2009, 05:55:49 UTC

I have the easiest (and consequently lowest paying) job in the world. I run the boards at a local radio station while the football/basketball games are on the air. I play the local commercial breaks. It's great for zero-stress-tolerance, but (obviously) doesn't always get the bills paid.

That sounds like a sweet gig!

It more or less is. It's like part time squared. (Or radical part time. Whichever makes more sense.)

I'm currently having mental breakdowns with more and more frequency because of this. It's not good. Had a doozy last night. Thank goodness the semester is almost over...

"Thank goodness the semester is almost over..."

That's Don's mantra, too.

I reckon you've got a bit more justifcation with the baby creature on the way.
