Grrrrrrrrrr.....
Yes, that's a growl.
Yes, that's what I do when I am frustrated.
And boy, am I frustrated.
I had my financial aid meeting for Fall today. I need to come up with $6800 in order to attend summer and fall semesters. That's *after* financial aid. Ummmmm, hello? Did you not see on my FASFA where I indicated I have 3 dependents and I don't work and my husband doesn't make great money? I came home and immediately started filling out applications online and so far I have 3 denials under my belt. *sigh* I don't expect that things are going to change with further applications. I do have a few scholarship applications out there but certainly nothing I can count on. Sooooooo..... it looks like all this hard work to maintain a 4.0 GPA working towards my degree was in vain. It looks like I will NOT be the first person to obtain a college degree from my family afterall. I am SO disappointed. I feel like I was tricked. If I had known up front what my out of pocket expense would be at this point, I never would have started this journey. Now, I will face student loans to pay for classes that didn't earn me a degree. :(
Prior to this meeting this afternoon, I was planning to blog about how excited I was to have finished my Marketing paper. I also survived single-handedly making the presentation in class this morning... so much for a GROUP project, huh? One of my partners didn't even SHOW UP and the other refused to get up with me stating he had "nothing to say". I also just finished working up my Basics of Design final project and am pretty pleased with how it came out. It received Dylan's seal of approval and we all know how hard THAT is to get!
Girls Weekend was a blast! Hopefully I will get some layouts up soon! I can't wait until the professional photos from the beach photo shoot are online. You are gonna laugh your butts off when you see them! :)
Anyway, I need to get my carpet cleaner over to Auntie Barbara's since her kitten is giving her fits pooping downstairs. Have a great night!

Rachael I am at a loss for words for you. I wish I could help. Keep positive you are talented something will come up.
Oh no I am so sad. You have done so much and I just knew this was so wonderful for you. That is just not fair!!!! Oh my at a loss for words you seem to be doing that a lot to me lately. Oh so very very sad.
Chin up, girl! Soon enough you'll join the rest of us schmucks with student loan debt out there! It's a rite of passage nowadays, like learning to ride a bike. It'll all work itself out!
"I don't expect that things are going to change with further applications."
Don't EVER give up!! Keep looking, you will find one that approves you.
