A day like "whoa".
Jun. 4th, 2005 01:01 amToday's word is shock. I went to Pace to find out about my Fin Aid situation, thinking I'd have enough loans to barely cover the majority of my schooling for two terms...only to have the woman tell me I erroneously filed my FAFSA as a graduate student when I'm in fact a second degree student, and cut my given loans down to an amount that doesn't even cover ONE term. Right in front of my eyes. She took her pen, crossed out the amounts, and wrote something ridiculously smaller. No grants, no scholarship, just not enough loan at all. My heart dropped. I didn't feel like crying. Nothing. Big hole of where my hopes were. Some of that shock must have come through on my face because she tried to talk about what a great field nursing is, blah blah, as she gave me the alternative loan booklet. Then she murmured a "good luck" that seemed sincere and heart-felt as I tried to remember how to put one foot in front of the other on my way out.
I can work it, I think. Give Sallie Mae a ring and make it a go. I just didn't want to have to deal with something outside of the government. And I need to take stock of *exactly* how much money I owe, in regards to how workable repayment will be. At this point I think...I don't know what to think. I have a bunch of research and tallying to do, but fortunately (or unfortunately) everything I need access to is only available during business hours. So I delve into it all on Monday. I'm running out of options here.
And no hugs or shit. I don't need placation.
On a more positive note,
deathmonkey06 rawks so hard. She rekindled my AFI love (so Davey looks like a vampire and sings like the eunuch bastard child of Geddy Lee, he still brings it mad hard, son!) - Silver and Cold is where it's at - and she made me this killer icon. Because she loves her men tall, dark, and womanly. No. I kid. *grin* A little, anyway. Thanks, Highness.
Oh no, don't get up. Keep enjoying the popcorn.
I detest 5AM wake up calls. Particularly when it's 1AM already.
