Come Back Talia

Sep 28

Posted by Walkerton in My Life | 4 Comments

Talia and myself at LevelI just received a text from one of my besties that said, “What in the world are you doing? I’m at work. OMG! I’m looking into F2-10-07 me, Tal i loveGCU!!” This was one of the best texts I’ve received from her in a really long time because she moved over on the east coast to go to school and I’ve seen her maybe twice in the past 2 years. I’m so very proud of everything she is doing over there but I want her to come back already. She needs to transfer to FGCU as it is obviously an amazing school since I went there.

I miss her face and need her back in the Fort ASAP! She is looking for the fall of 2010… and this is where she is a confused soul. If she is going do it, it needs to happen immediately. With her at school so far away, good memories have not been great because she hasn’t been a part of them.

I Got the $$$

So fact is I have come up with the money for my classes this semester…..YAY!  I’ve been going back and forth as to whether I’m actually going to take them though. I’m working as much as possible between my 2 jobs and think I rather just work and not have to focus on writing 100 page research papers too. These classes are intense and I’d rather work and save my money. In this economy I need to focus on paying my bills and not doing homework. I already have my BS so my MBA is not so important at this time….that’s my final answer! I will get it but I might have to take a year off first. Being financially stable is a necessity for survival. I feel like I’m talking liking a cave-woman but it’s a true story. I know you get what I’m saying…..

No Money For Classes :(

Aug 19

So I’ve been trying to pick up as many shifts as possible at work in order to pay for my classes this semester but I don’t think that’s going to happen. It’s quite stressful trying to figure out how I’m going to pay my bills let alone pay for anything extra like school. The tuition rises 18% every semester and the prices per credit hour are becoming quite ridiculous. I’ve already had to drop one class and am hoping to be able to come up with the money for the other class in 10 days. I’ve got my fingers crossed and I hope you do too! I guess the worst case scenario is that I can’t afford to pay this semester but can work like crazy to save up and pay for the spring semester.

It just sucks because I don’t make that much money but I make too much to qualify for FAFSA or any grants. What is that shit? I can’t afford to pay my monthly bills but the government thinks I can afford thousands of dollars a semester for classes and book. . . I don’t get it. If I don’t qualify, then who does?! Somebody show me the secret to getting my hands on some of this money or help me find a real job already because I have not been successful at that either!
