ugh. hopefully school is going to work out financially, i mean it will eventually bc i just got a letter in the mail saying that my maximum amount of aid for all my schooling would be $138,000. I expect to use only a portion of that, but none of it is available now bc old school didn't put in the computer that i wouldn't be attending spring or summer session even though i handed in a signed form indicating such and i handed in a for to Withdraw from all my winter classes. Not to mention that financial aid was included in almost all the emails.
so i talked to my advisor from on-line school and a financial aid advisor, too and she said it was showing i had no funds available bc they were all allocated to old school, so i called them and told them to cancel all funds and then they should be available to new school and me. but who knows how long it'll take. if i want to start on april 7th as it's set up and ready to go, i would have to pay out of pocket for my first class, $515. don't have that. or rent. or any other bills. i shouldn't be relying on this money. but when, inexplicably bc you have talent, a degree and experience, the only jobs you can get are for $12/hr max bc people treat early child educators like all 18 year old kids looking for an "easy" job, and you're living paycheck to paycheck and you want to go to school to have better career and life for yourself and family, i guess it makes sense why one would be needing that money. oh and unemployment is on delay bc they have to verify that the educational institutions i worked for wasn't also on paid vacation or something, it didn't apply to me, but i had to fill out the form and get it back which i did.
i hate money, the imaginary stuff that's held in physical form in paper or plastic. the federal bailout is making me sick. i have NO money and my taxes are paying bigger bonuses to people than i'll prolly ever make legitatimately working in my whole life.

I've done that quiz before. It was funny because my iphone must have been stuck on "m" and just about everything came out with "mother," or some variation of the word in it.
Oh, Nikkol. I really hope that things will work out with school.
Though, if you know that it will eventually work out. It's not a terrible idea to grab a job now... just work for a few months... and then start up again at the next opening.
haha. i did it on i-tunes and put it on "song" shuffle, not "band" or "album" bc i've done it that way before ad it's totally given me the same band or album but different songs which really frustrated me, haha.
big sigh, i can't believe how incompetent higher institutions can be.
and please don't take this wrong, there is no tone of voice here. but if i could just grab a job i would. i've been looking and i want a job now that i can keep while i am going to school. the busier i am, the better i feel. i was walking to the store today thinking that i would sell my soul for a while and work in a office M-F to get some money. but ANY job is hard to find. i might walk down to the corner store (think quik chek) and see if they're hiring.
they are. i'm printing the app.
ok, how sad is it that i am really excited they are hiring?
and i don't think i can lift 50 pounds. well, some 5 year olds weight that much, right? i'll just say yes. i can do ANYTHING!
I'm sorry...
my comment probably seemed insensitive. I haven't had to look for a job in so long...
so even though I know that our economy is terrible... I haven't actually experienced it.
Good luck... I always thought it would be sort of fun to work at a quick check.
I think I'd drink coffee all day long... and eat a lot of cheese sandwiches.
LOL about quik chek.
and no worries about the comment, i appreciate any input and actually i wasn't angry or upset or anything, i just wanted to respond, but wanted to make sure i didn't respond snappy or something. AND it made me think of the corner store, so that's a bonus ;)
i finished the application but i am going to print my office resume, too bc my last jobs have been with kids, not like the mall or other customer jobs and tomorrow a manager should be there 6am-2pm i think it said. if hired, my shifts would generally be 2-10pm or 10pm-6am, i said i could work 24 hours a day. well 8 of those 24 hours at a time, ahahah.
i think i put you as a personal reference, i forget, but say i'm awesome if anyone calls asking about me! thanks for your support!
