*Finally* got my information and was able to apply for Financial Aid, which means I *can* afford to take the GIS II class starting next week, which means I'll still be able to graduate in December if nothing else goes wrong ( Read more... )

Today I bought a pair of jeans and some new shaver blades. I also didn't have to guard at all this afternoon, so I went out to lunch with Mom for the first time in quite awhile - we got Chinese. Mmm, MSG - and then she took me to Yonkers, where she bought me *another* pair of jeans (they were on sale for 8 bucks down from 30 something) and a new ( Read more... )

Checked what only having 11 credits meant for my financial aid, and so far it will only effect the 300 dollar pell grant I received. That'll go down to $225 for the semester. My loan should still be fine according to the financial aid lady I talked too, so thats good to know. Now I just gotta worry about how I'll pay for tuition *next* semester.

Did some more of the dread "shopping" today. I went into ShopKo for a few cheap shirts and maybe a blanket if they were on sale, and ended up coming out with *four* shirts (only one of which being cheap, the rest ranged from 9 to 15 dollars), a new swimming suit (though, seriously, I do need a new suit, and when you find one that was 70 bucks to ( Read more... )

Financial Aid has been applied for. Hopefully it will take a big enough chunk out of my tuition that we can some how manage to russle up the extra money I'm pretty sure we'll still have to pay.

On an entirely different note, I haven't read my friends list for, like, a week. Shame on me.

gah. I hate FAFSA.

Yes, I am aware that there is more money in my savings and checking account than that which I made last year. BECAUSE I HAVE HAD A SAVINGS ACCOUNT SINCE I WAS 5! It is accurate! I double checked it when I first entered it! Why the hell are you demanding that I refill everything in, you fucking son of a bitch! ::snarls::

Wohoo! My Financial Aid Award package came in! ::happy dances:: Once again, my tuition could be paid in full by all the grants and stuff, but I'm accepting the loans, too, because a friend of mine suggested I put them in a CD, so I can keep the interest even if I have to pay them back after I finish with my schooling. I think I also might need ( Read more... )

Hey, Emma? Go here if you're looking for new friends. That's what I was trying to do in my journal with the "Make New Friends" thingy, but no one loves me enough to start a trend, so I'll link you to someone who actually has friends. ::gives a hurt look to all her friends list:: :( /comment whoring ( Read more... )

I found a pair of shoes - nice, leather, comfortable, should-last-me-several-years shoes, shoes that normally would have cost at least 20 dollars - for 3 bucks! Wohoo! And they're even spiffy looking! This makes Maren happy ( Read more... )
