u of m $$ problems
so over the past couple of days, i've been struggling with everyone in UM's admissions and financial aid departments whose email addresses i've been able to find. my problem is this, i found out that i'm not eligible for any of the UM scholarships (the ones that cover half, third, quarter tuition) because i'm a continuing student. had i known that this situation was going to come up, i would have never started last spring, i would have started now.
well, either way, i've emailed everyone and their mothers and i'm getting nowhere near where i'd like to be money-wise. i'm willing to work as many jobs as i need, if i have to pull out a loan (for not too much either, i don't want to be in debt my whole life), i'll do anything so as not to screw my parents over with a bill the size of that one (it's pretty big).
if all else fails, then it's off to the frenzy that is FIU, but you better believe i'm gonna try my hardest to not end up like there (not that it's deathdoomdeath either, i just love UM very very much).
of course, what's on the top of my "going to miss" list is the people. my beloved FECkers. i'll miss not seeing them day after day and not going to spring break (it's not the same break dates ), and not being there in our newly flintstones-push-up-orange office (good one rod ) day after day. i'll also miss the teachers, the campus, homecoming (again), and everything else that UM has that no one else does.
god willing, everything will work out and i'll stay a 'cane, but if everything continues at this rate, i hope i won't lose touch with my friends. wish me luck...
