Really. It does horrible things to you face. The next morning when you wake up your eyes will be all crusty and swollen. And it made my throat hurt worse. The reason I was crying after 10pm? It was the only time I had to do it alone yesterday. I was planning on going back to school in January. I was going to be taking an LPN class schedule. I was finally going to do what I have been wanting to do for several years now. I finally got the courage to go back to school. Got a whole lot of my paper work done. I qualified for Pell for the first time ever. It was going to be great. I could see myself and my family several years down the road with me still being a nurse. It was going to be great. Hard, but great! I got an email yesterday afternoon. It said that I had unpaid government loans that I HAVE to pay before I can receive my Pell. $13,000!!! I was in college in 2005. I have 27 credit hours towards a BA in criminal justice. Justice, ironic huh? I was not able to complete. I had a deal with someone. It was, I go to school, keep my average up and work a full time job and they would pay my $150 a month tuition. Really good deal? I thought so. At least until I was handed all of my paper work and told I was going to have to take care of it from now on. That was even not so bad. I thought. Until I called the school to pay for my next month of classes. Only to be told that I have been withdrawn due to non-payment. What do you mean, I am paying a week early? No, your tuition has not been paid in almost 4 months. 4 MONTHS!!! This was a shock to me. So now $13,000 stand sin the way of me going to a $2,000 school. Everything that I have dreamed of for the last month and a half, all gone. Washed away by a terrible email. Now I don't know what I am going to do. I have resolved myself to know that if all I will ever be is a wife and a mother then I am going to be the BEST on ever.
And a reminder: 27 year old women should not cry after 10pm.
