Money, That's what I want
Can I just complain about the obvious and say how expensive it is to be a college student? I mean, it's bad enough I've spent $3500 on tuition, $25 on a stupid parking sticker, $150 on a meal plan, and $400 on books and supplies, but today I had to go buy and $80 piece of PAPER so I can use a certain website. And my profesor was a jerk about the fact I hadn't bought it yet. GRRRRR. Ordinarily I would say something like "at least my house isn't underwater" but I don't feel like it. Love you! :)

I feel your pain, Di. I'm just glad Rachel had the Hope scholarship and I had the GI Bill! Paying for school is soooooo expensive! Hang in there. You'll be glad you did.
Thats how they getcha...
Hang tough Di. I mean at least your house isn't underwater. You'll get past all the ridiculous junk once you can see you're helping all those little kids empty their noodles of bad television and fill their noggins full of good stuff.
I feel your pain. Amy just got her tuition bill too. She has to pay like $250 for a parking pass that doesn't gurantee she'll actually find a spot to park!
I still have thousands of dollars in loans to pay back too. I guess it is all worth it. I guess.
Seems the Stubbs and Brews are in familiar company. Rachel and I have been there. It is very difficult, costly, and discouraging when one of you is working and the other is in school. It's even more difficult when you are both working and in school! It costs lots of time, money, and moments you could have together. There was a year that Rachel and I barely saw each other. But, it is amazing when it is finally DONE! Not only do you have more opportunities, you also have a profound sense of accomplishment and security you wouldn't have otherwise. Y'all will all get there. It'll be tough and costly, but it will all work out in the end. Stay focused on the goal and don't give up!
to me, paying loans off was more fun that getting whatever it was we got the loans for in the first place.
I think it took us about 3 years to get larissas loans paid off, but that was iwth a car loan too, so it wasnt a fun fiught at first, but it gets done, and life moves on.
Thanks for all the encouragment, guys.... I DID have a scholarship but I don't have it anymore, it's a painful subject for me. I just gotta look on the sunny side of life. I think I'd feel better if I just crawled in bed and cried, though.
Are you guys still coming in December? That's what I have to look forward too.
I guess I just wish I had something to look forward to. I never see my hubby and my best friend lives 8 hours away... Sorry to be such a downer. I promise I'll be in a better mood.
I just read that there are 13 cases of salmonela at Coastal.
one of the best things that can cure any depression is something to look forward to. I heard this about 8 years ago. Have something planned in advance, something as simple as going to books a million to sit and look at books one night after work. heck, plan to go to the grocery store together one night to shop.
As long as you have SOMETHING to look forward to, your day wont be so bad....
ill bet you that larissa and i see less of each other than you guys do, but the key is to ave little things planned for the end of the day or the end of the week. Last night we planned to watch a harry potter movie when we finished dionner. we had seen is a dozen times, but it was something.
Amy and I go through long stretches where we see each other in passing, too. The last couple of weeks I've worked some long, odd hours and when I'm home Amy is busy studying. Which means that I either leave the house or congregate in whatever room she isn't in.
Besides work, I'm not all that busy, so my free time is really free. Where Amy's is very limited and usually burdened with the stress of something else. So I know that when she has a moment it is "cuddle time". This is usually sitting on the couch or laying on the bed not doing anything more than enjoying each other's company.
Take a moment early in the morning, late at night, or in the middle of the day when you both have a minute and just sit with each other. Talk about important stuff if you need to, or chit chat if you like. Or sometimes I enjoy the silence.
Good grief! What the heck is on that website??? Wish I could be there to give you a hug and tell you it'll be all right.
Yay, it's my friend Rachel!
YOu guys are great. Today's rough because I have to write a paper, go to work, and come home and finish the paper. It's just a stressful week.
My things to look forward to:
1. next week I have a lot of nights off
2. Seeing my mommy soon, but I hope she doesn't come this weekend because I won't see her
3. DECEMBER!!!
