Arghhhhh!!! Okay, when I was in undergrad, I didn't take out loans. I had scholarships and jobs (yes, multiple). Did my grades suffer as a result? Probably. But I didn't have to deal with student loans.

Now I'm in law school. I got a small scholarship, and a twenty or so hour a week graduate assistantship (which the law school told me I couldn't do and still manage being in law school, but I did it anyway), and the rest of the money I take out in loans. I'm still going to owe the gov't quite a bit of money when I get out, but so it goes, at least it's not as much as it would have been.

Now then, it's the end of October. I started school at the end of August. And I *still* don't have my financial aid.

STILL!!!

Now at first, it wasn't a big deal--I can subsist for a long time on the money I try to save, on credit cards (work of the devil, I tell you) and my paycheck from work. But this is ridiculous. I have rent to pay (luckily Eric is an understanding landlord--or, let's face it, he trusts me and figures I'll come up with it, which I will) and electric bills will be rising, and I need to take the cats to the vet, and I need to do it now.

GRRRRRR!

And every time I call, they tell me it will be processed and mailed in the next few days. I even went downtown to the office in person, and you know what they said? They said it would be processed, and mailed in the next few days. And you know what the girl said when I called today? That's right, it would be processed, and mailed in the next few days.

The questions are:

1. When do I get to open up a can of bitch my boyfriend ain't your baby's daddy?
2. To whom do I get to deliver this particular can of refreshment, that it would do any good?

Yeah. I'm pissed. But at least I can have humor. I hate needing student loans.
