My financial aid should be fine, I think. I finally submitted all the forms last week, and got my mom to virtually sign it. Based on my mom's very low income (shockingly, scarily low - much less than I make, and she's got kids living at home), it gave me the option to decline to provide information about my own finances and any assets. It did ask ( Read more... )

I think I'm bordering on dangerous addiction here. Last night, on my way to school, I started to think  "Damn, I really need some coffee". I chewed it over in my mind a little while driving, but tried to suppress the urge. I had the fortitude to drive past both the McDonalds (they have some very refreshing iced coffee) and the Dunkin Donuts before ( Read more... )

I'm nervous about my financial aid. I haven't submitted the forms yet because I don't have my mom's tax info, but I just realized that her recent marriage may make a difference since it changes her tax return somewhat. Hopefully, since the guy is unemployed and collecting disability payments, it won't hurt my eligibility. If financial aid doesn't ( Read more... )

LOL sorta. Maybe. Or it was just a damn easy test. I got my test results back last night for the exam I took last week. I got an A, only missed two questions out of 35. I have to brag a little here, because I feel like a horrible person bragging anywhere else. I saw a lot of students who I know studied a lot more than I did who got lesser grades, ( Read more... )

Either that, or I just don't pay enough attention. I helped my fiance out with his feet last night. I hadn't really looked at them in a while, mostly because I already knew that his toenails were nasty anyway, so there wasn't really much reason to look at them. I happened to notice while getting ready for bed that he had a bit of cracked, dry skin ( Read more... )

I saw a question/answer blurb about a couple considering egg donation. I'm half considering applying to become an egg donor myself. It's actually fairly lucrative, at least for someone in my position - it pays between $3000-$6000, depending on which website you go by. I posted a question on Yahoo answers about what are some things to consider. I'm ( Read more... )

I spent like $60 on freaking restaurant food this weekend. My roommates are bad influences, I think. Well, the first $15 or so was my fault - I didn't wake up early enough (apparently I need to set my alarm to earlier than 5:00 am on Satudays) to make my coffee and stuff something in my mouth for breakfast, so I stopped by Dunkin on the way to ( Read more... )

Well, I scoped out TJ Maxx briefly during lunch yesterday. It certainly looks promising. I think I like Marshall's better for shoe shopping - it's better laid out. There's pros and cons to each. Marshall's I like because you have one shoe displayed on top of a stack of the shoe boxes for that kind of shoe, just like in a regular shoe store. It ( Read more... )

I don't like my hair right now. It's too freshly washed (as of last night), so it's kind of fluffy or something. It's smoother when it's a couple days past washday. I trimmed it last night before and after washing, the first time just because the ends were just damaged enough to cause some tangling and breakage when I tried to comb it, and the ( Read more... )

Sometimes there are things that I can only say here, where nobody that I know in person will read it. I don't know that I've ever (at least in my "awakened" life - after emerging from the bubble of my sheltered childhood) admitted to anyone, and only recently even admitted to myself, that I have a strong, secret desire to raise a large family. I ( Read more... )
