school

Hello all,
So I'm sure you have all heard about the national debt. One of the things that is likely to get cut is financial help for schooling. That means me. At the moment almost if not all of my money to go to school is through FASFA and loans/grants. So all this talk about not giving out those loans and grants is scaring me. I have no idea if I will be able to go to CUSLB in the fall. So I've been trying to figure out back up plans. If my financial aid doesn't go through then I will have to find out a way around it. I'm hoping that I will be able to go in the spring no matter what. I've already started looking into classes at SMC and west la community. Sadly I doubt I will be able to take any classes that will help me. I need 9 units (3 classes) to keep my health insurance. So I can take 3 classes that don't help me at all and that i don't want to take or I can just sign up for 3 classes and then drop them. This would mean that I would be working through the whole fall semester. I might even be able to work 5 days a week and save up so that even if my financial aid doesn't go through in spring I will be able to cover at least some of it myself. This might be the plan I go with. Of course I hope that it doesn't come to that and that I get the financial aid I need to go this fall.

I hate thinking about money. It drives me crazy. And there never seems to be enough. Well things aren't that bad actually. Both Jono and I are working full time and making about 2 grand each every month. We make enough to cover our bills. It's helping out his mom that is taking such a strain. But it will get better. I know it will. It has to at some point right?
