The baby did not wake me up. Huzzah!
I have thought about taking loans out, pay off all my bills before school starts and to have some extra dough. But I didn't know how much you could (or how much I SHOULD) take out.
I really would like the idea of living on my own instead of a roommate. That just appeals to me more. I was even thinking about talking to my boss about a raise again, since I've gotten some power at work now...
Jason told me of a loan thing he went thru, but I forgot the name. I'm supposed to hang with him tonight, so I'll ask him when I'm there.
Yes, I'm hanging with Jason. I have been serious when I said No More Booty Calls and ended it with them all (and man, did some of them take it personal!). I can still hang with Jason. I haven't had "The Talk" with him yet, waiting for the right moment (i.e. when he attempts to make a move on me). So I'm guessing that talk will happen tonight. Keep your fingers crossed that I can be strong and avoid his advances.
T-School starts August 25th for me. I should get loans now because I have to get my Rabies vaccinations before school...and altho it should in turn be covered by my insurance, I have to cover the cost first.
Man, I'm kinda thinking about this moving out thing. There's this couch at the Amish Shoppe that just SCREAMS me....it would be nice to have my own little hidey hole....
Thanks for all the help guys!
Oh yeah...real quick:
I have no problem with Ramen. When I lived on my own in Crete, I survived off $0.99 Tony's Pizzas and Ramen. I can hack it.
When I go out, I don't really drink. The main thing my money is going to is gas. I fill up sometimes 2-3 times a week. I've resorted to the fact that when I'm in school, I'll probably have no life. Plus, if I have my own joint, then people can come visit me for a change! And if I had a spot between work and school, I might not be driving as much. Right now, from what I figured out, if I stay in Hammond, I will be driving 100 miles a day that I have school and work. That's the other thing, the little Wasabi Dragon. She's got 204,000 right now. I REALLY need her to last until I'm out of school...driving less would help that.
But, do you need decent credit for school loans? I mean, I know I'll have an outrageous APR, but I only have myself to blame. But if I can do it on my own without a cosigner, that would be great.
I have some things to look into...but it would be great to have my own place again...

i think since you are over the age of 26, the gov't cuts you more breaks in terms of getting financial aid and stuff. especially if your mom isn't claiming you as a dependent on her taxes...or something along those lines. if you made an appointment with a financial aid office person at the school, they could definitely help you out more than me. :)
definitely factoring in your travel costs is a BIG deal. if you can live on campus, or between campus and work, that would probably save you a TON of money--especially with the price of gas right now.
you can do it!
