And I'm poor. I just called my student loan people and they informed me that I am their bitch at $400 per month for the next 12 years of my life. And the loans cannot be consolidated >< That's like a car. I could use a car right now. I could also use a job that makes it worthwhile to pay for those loans. You know, a job that uses the degree I'm paying for. I guess life can throw snowballs at you in summer, and the best you can do is turn them into a sweet flavored slushie and drink them. That probably makes no sense to anyone but me.
See, I got screwed out of a sweet deal. Or better put, my brother got a sweet college deal. 5 years ago, my parents made a deal with my brother and I that they would pay for the first 2 years of college. Ok, sweet, or so I thought. See, my brother went to a 2 year school, granted, he only has an associates, and I have a bachelors, but here's my point. He didn't pay for an ounce of school. And HE GOT PAID WHILE HE WENT TO SCHOOL AS PART OF SCHOOL! His program made him work for 5 weeks, then go to school for 5 weeks. The school part was a full time $20 an hour job. I did my student teaching and paid BG $4400. I got nothing but a hearty handshake and a "thanks for working your ass off" ><
I would probably take this a little better if after 24 hours of living at home, my Mom wasn't already driving me nuts. First she wants me to help her with her homework while I'm trying to clean out my closet and unpack, then she yells at me because I still have a lot of stuff in the living room. Then I ask her where I'm gonna put my computer, because I want no one else in the hosue using it ( I didn't tell her that part). I mention that I don't have to worry about all the cables running everywhere because I have wireless. Then she gets this idea that I'm going to do that to the other 2 incredibly crappy desktops here, so she can do her schoolwork downstairs infront of the TV. How many years did she spend telling my brother and I not to do homework in front of the TV?!?
I did have an interview for a long term sub position at a catholic high school in Dayton. It went fairly well. We'll see. Hopefully I get it, only it ends in November, right when I have to start paying through the nose to the loan people. So there's the drama. And the things that are making me mad. I hate being all grown up ><

welcome to the real world... bills suck!!!
Wow, that sucks. That was one reason I transfered out of UC was because they wanted me to pay full-time status tuition to do an internship. Good luck finding a job, any job, to keep the bills at bay.
I just consolidated my loans. Too bad they didn't for you. But I'm with you. I'll be pay for college for the next 10+ years of my life. Bleh.
Good luck on the job search. Mine involves interviews and then lots of phone calls that essentially say, "Thanks, but no thanks."
At least you've gotten calls back?
I've gotten 2 interviews and gone through a box of 50 manila envelopes, to send out applications...
