Woot! Pelosi is on my fantasy congress team. Let's see if she gets me more points than Hastert.

The guys in financial aid are awesome. Andy (my new hero) can get me an automatic $4000 a year added to my Perkins loan just because my mom was denied for one. Then I can get my EFC (Expected Family Contribution) down to $0 by having my parents explain that there income is much much lower than what their taxes state. I get to stay in school!

Today I'm heading in to meet with a financial aid person again. The loans didn't work out so apparently I can get more aid if I show my parents income doesn't help me at all. I'm looking for, hopefully another, $2500. I'll take it anywhere I can get it. Oh and my tuition runs about $27,000 a year. In the end I only pay about 6k due to grants ($9k), loans($3.5k), and scholarships($8k). Hurray for small private schools! Seriously, if I can't work something out by the end of the year, I'm thinking about state schools. I like the small classes and most of my teachers, but do I really want to leave school over $15k in debt? If I have to take out more loans that's going to start increasing.

Well, I've cleaned out my savings and my dad is pulling $800 out of nowhere but it looks like I can pay off this semester's tuition and register for classes next semester. To make me feel better about not really being able to pay for college, I would like to hear some stories about how you all managed to get by (cost saving measures, working two jobs, etc...)

Laugh. You live for 70 years collecting useless shit only to lose it all, because you can't take it with you. That's kind of why I don't want a job. I don't feel like working most of my life; it seems so pointless. That and money sucks. Too much revolves around it.

I always thought the Ron/Hermione thing was going to happen. It seemed obvious. When it finally happened I laughed at all those who thought Hermione would hook up with Malfoy. Now excuse me while I go read some erotic Stupid Sexy Flanders fan fiction.

College is sort of better. Turns out the football team needs good players, so morons still get in, but overall it's cooler. I'm less than a full semester in and I like it better. I don't get laid at all really (but I never did in high school either(but my girlfriend is coming to visit this weekend))...and I've lost my train of thought. Anyway, hang in there. College can suck, but it's better than high school.

Your American Gov't teacher shouldn't be giving you extra credit if you don't even know that the feds aren't supposed to get much done. If laws are too easy to pass, our rights will dwindle quickly. But as Demo said, they do too much anyway. Do yourself a favour and read up on the concept of limited government. It's rather essential to understanding anything you'll learn in a class about our system. 138

I'd give you +1 for that, but either I'm stupid, or I don't have the post count I need to do it yet.

Don't have time to browse the whole thing right now, but looks bloody fantastic. Foley is listed as "resigned." You can add him, but it is probably the equivalent of putting someone who's injured, and not playing, in as your quarterback for Fantasy Football. 141

Anyone interested in starting a league? I just signed up. Haven't put together a team yet, but I was hoping to play with people I am somewhat more familiar with. I'm under the name Khylen. 143

Damn. I wanted throw out a link to it on Fark, seeing as that's where I originally found HN. Problem is all I get is this -
"Holy jumpin' Jesus! Things are all farked up! Bad kitty!! * This link was already submitted on 2001-10-18 16:15:26 (US/Eastern Time) ... and was not listed" Oh well. 149

All those Armandos...lost forever...
 Wait, I've got a hard copy of half of mine. Poor DM though... If the Armandos are ever recovered, Ivan needs to start that Armando site he was thinking about. 150

I actually found a reference to this in another thread and was about to delete it. Thanks for being so quick with the reply button.
