More school...

[hellziggy]

D'oh!
I called the school about my dropped classes... I was dropped for non-payment. I couldn't figure that out because I should have financial aid to take care of that. So I came home and logged in to check on my financial aid. Apparently I had to stop while I was working on it before and I never went back to finish it. Grr. So now I am registered for two different classes than I was before and I paid for them w/a credit card so that when the financial aid does come in they'll send me a check which will then pay the credit card. Sucks to do it that way but I couldn't chance being dropped again. Now when I go in to work tomorrow I'll have to let my supervisor know what I'll be changing my schedule too. Basically the only change will be a short day on Tuesday now and having to work a full 8 hours on Fridays.

I'm sorry to pry, and feel free not to answer, but how does an adult qualify for financial aid? I thought you had to be under 18 and living with parents. ...*thinks*... no, you're not under 18, we covered that at Sawatdee...
I would love to take more classes but I just assumed I can't afford it.

Loans. Since we've got two incomes, I don't qualify for any grants and only a small fraction of my loans are subsidized (no interest acrues while in school) but even the unsubsidized are a better interest rate than a bank loan.
So yeah, we get financial aid by going further in debt, but it is classified as "good debt"

Aw maaann, I am not going to go into debt to study more poetry, no matter how much I'd enjoy it.
Thanks! I thought you'd stumbled into some grant program for adults who never want to stop learning. When I win the lottery, I should start something like that.
