Today I just realized that I’m not eligible for financial aid for the fall semester since I can’t take 6 credits or more. I am just NOW realizing this, rather than PRIOR to applying for financial aid and being approved and signing my life away on the loan documents and ALL THAT. Holy crap I am DUMB sometimes.

I learned all this today when I called the financial aid office to ask why there had been no disbursement, and the girl said I wouldn’t even GET any unless I enrolled in 6 credits. duhhhhhh me. So I had to cancel my financial aid stuff since they wouldn’t have paid it out for 3 credits, which is all I can take in one semester because I can’t afford financially to take more than 3 credits at a time.

sigh.

What it boils down to is that I am going to take the fall semester off from school, focus on paying off two of my credit cards–which have been charged up since we bought the house–and then I am most likely going to quit my second job. Once the cards are paid off, then I’ll be able to go back to school for the spring semester and not want to kill myself with two jobs + school workload (like I did this summer).

My life is just a mess sometimes, arg.
