Direct Kick to the Cunt Bone

A couple of weeks ago, maybe 3, I got a phone call from the student loan folks, all chipper... We need your new address, they said!  NO problem, I say.  I want to pay my loans on time and get all my paperwork done efficiently and all that, as that is my new financial policy.  You don't have to panic if

I have no words. You know I ended up having to consolidate with SM and after throwing all my loans on the consol. app. they tossed quite a few out saying they were ineligible for who knows what reason. Hence, I'll need to consolidate those as well at some point this year and pray that maybe, just maybe I can consolidate everything together into one horrifically large amount. Also, since financial aid talk seems to be the theme for us these days, I still have no aid package for this coming year and term begins in three weeks. *squee*

I'm crossing everything for you and praying to my homies that you'll be able to get this all sorted as painlessly as possible Monday.

Sallie Mae is where my loans were consolidated from grad and undergrad and I just want to say that they are run by Satan Himself. I mean that seriously...and am very delinquent on my loan as I have had two years of financial horror and they would not give me another forebearance. Now, starting this month on the 17th, I must pay them 460.00 a month for the next 25 years. And, since I consolidated 7 years ago, they won't let me reconsolidate for that nice LOW INTEREST rate everyone gets nowadays.

I'm typically not suicidal, but a hole in the head sounds good to me right now. Or perhaps I should join you in your coma.

If I hadn't gone to grad school, my loans were UNDER 5,000! As it is I borrowed 40,000 to pay for grad school. I wish to hell I hadn't. I even worked as a grad assistant and still had to take out that much.

Please tell me you are exaggerating. Please.

All thoughts of going back to school at any point hae now been permanently vacated from my brain.

Bugger me upside down. *is floored*

No further education for me thank you very much. What's the point îf you can't earn enough to pay the debt back before you die? And they wonder why Americans are becoming stupider. They can't afford the damned education in the first place.
