I took on an extra class this semester. - a total of four. So I've got Intro to Accounting, Computerized Accounting, Computer Applications, & Russian. It's fourteen units, so I'll be pretty busy at some point, but Russian doesn't begin until 8/31, & Computer Applications begins 9/14. Time management is going to be tricky, but it's for a good cause - financial aid i.e. student loans are based on the number of units enrolled. I've got 9 at the school where I'm applying for aid which is 3/4 of full-time student status (Russian is at a different school, and since it doesn't count towards the accounting discipline/degree, it wouldn't count even if it were at the same school).

I'm kicking myself too because the loan amounts are smaller than I initially imagined. They had told me $10,500 is the maximum. What we didn't really talk about is how that amount comes down dramatically if you're not taking a full load (12 units or so; I have 14, but they're not all degree related, so only 9).

Anyway, it puts a damper on some of my plans and I've decided to save up for some of my aspirations rather than buying outright.

 

Oh my, you have taken on a lot.
Can you pay by installments?
You will be so busy, and I will miss you, Soul.
But I am truly proud of you. xxxx

 

We're all going to miss you SC! You're one of the coolest HF Veterans around did you know that?

 

It isn't affording school so much as my extracurricular plans, like visiting Kyrgyzstan or other related purchases. I don't have credit really, so financing is a bore. A student loan is my best option, and it sort of bottomed out as you can see.

Thank you for being proud. @Candy Gal you truly are a talent and a wonder! You amaze, and you being gracious is so refreshing.

It's true that I'll be busy, but for now only two of the classes have started; the Intro to Accounting, and the Computerized Accounting, both of which I have some prior experience with from work and school (remember that bachelor's? I remember some stuff from that it turns out...). Anyway, I'm caught up for the time being
