Lately I've felt like I've wasted a bunch of time. My life needs to get started. I'm 26. I should have a real job by now, paying off a house instead of trying to keep up with a damn credit card. So I finally applied for student aid.

"Based on your EFC of 00155, you appear to be eligible to receive a Federal Pell Grant of up to $5200 for the 2009-2010 school year"

w00t!

LOOK OUT WORLD, I'M OMW!~

What are you studying?

I'm getting funding from my program which covers tuition and most living expenses, but I'm still starting to hit the plastic for the first time in my life. Oh well, jobs await, right??

GT2000 · 10-08-2009, 05:09 PM

Nice, good luck with your studies.

My employer will cover up to $5000/yr in tuition expenses, one of my coworkers is doing online schooling using it. It's actually come to mind that I should try turning my AAS into a BAS, but I don't know in exactly what... food for thought I suppose.

I'm going to Baker College, it's a career school. Not exactly sure what I'm going to pick yet, but probably something to do with visual media.

Stormy · 10-11-2009, 09:58 AM

Just started school again. The course doesn't allow me to work, and I've got very limited financial aid, so I'm eating through savings until I've got to eat through whatever money I can find.

Mr Biglesworth · 10-12-2009, 05:20 PM

I'm at a new school too. Masters, baby!

squirrels2nuts · 10-12-2009, 06:49 PM

is it partially my fault that your hitting the plastic?

or are you resorting to credit for other things?

Mr Biglesworth · 10-13-2009, 10:55 AM

Josh: haha, I lived on Kipps lane for 4 years. Make sure you get fish and chips at the little place by the Macs milk.

Johnny: well, it's my fault! but the plastic should be temporary. And shouldn't you tell the fine people at the 'tube what you're doing?

johnny · 10-15-2009, 10:43 AM

not a bad idea, neil.

hey, fine people! i'm getting married! if any of you fine people are going to be in southeast Asia at the end of November, drop me a line.

GT2000 · 10-15-2009, 10:54 AM

Oh cool, she love you long time?

Seriously tho, congrats and welcome to the club, do tell more.

raditz · 10-16-2009, 06:01 PM

Grats Johnny!

I go in on Tuesday for testing, and I need to decide what I want to do by then. I'm leaning towards digital media design. Still not 100% though.

Mr Biglesworth · 10-16-2009, 08:36 PM

You should do something you're passionate about but won't leave you with any tangible skills, like me!

squirrels2nuts · 10-18-2009, 01:18 PM

fish n chips by macs eh... oh you mean youre telling me to go further eoa. wow. i know this girl (who is pregnant with her 2nd child at 22) who used to live on whatever street intersects at that plaza in some shitty little apartment/condo. some old lady stabbed/got stabbed (i forget which) for some smokes or something equally retarded on that street. she asked me to go get rolling papers and i had my hand on my swiss army knife the whole time while looking over my shoulder constantly. she also told me of the time when she heard something in her backyard and saw a couple of black guys. and if thats not enough my friend who lives 3 floors down has had his car broken into 3 times.
i miss living in komoka.

squirrels2nuts · 10-18-2009, 01:25 PM

johnny: post pics of your fiance

radish: whats the testing for? to see if you can walk and talk? i didnt think you really needed a certificate for digital media design but hey if its free then go for it

I still say you should try and get some lab/research experience.

Johnny: Congrats! Is she tall?
Rad: I hope the testing/choosing go well.

Mr Biglesworth · 10-18-2009, 10:03 PM

Josh: hahahaha. pussy. Kipps lane is fine.
