I have been rushing to finish my qualifying exam so that I could turn in the paper work that would allow me to apply for full-time status. Someone in my department lead me to believe that once I passed my qualifying exam, I could apply for fulltime status. I get the form today and it basically says I don't qualify for full-time status, which means that I will have to continue making these $350 loan payments every month. Add to that my $450 payments for school, I literally don't know if I can afford to continue going to school. That's a rent payment by itself. Honestly, that might make this a fight even more difficult to sustain. That's $800 a month. To school. To a degree that is not going to increase my earnings substantially. I know, there are all the other justifications that go with finishing (the alleged "you're almost done") but its hard when you're tired of barely keeping your head above water.
Maybe I need to be better friends with Fastweb.
That's all I got for today. I know I owe you more...not today.
