Get a loan

Well..I got a federal plus loan and apparently I can use it to cover my summer classes through a loophole. Yay!! My student account shows it waiting for me…now it’s just time to cancel the other approved loans…. :P As much as I cringe to owe around 35,000 in loans now.. it doesn’t deter me from continuing my education at a wonderful school.

Well, FAFSA appears to think my stepfather’s income matters and has declined me any aid. Yet when applying for federal parent plus loans, they don’t recognize him as a parent. My school’s special circumstance program appears to have rejected my family’s obvious need for assistance. And all the private loans are highly variable in their rates.

I do not know what will happen in the next 11 days…

I’ve been looking at alternative loans since I’m dirt poor and I have no aid from Loyola. Therefore, I’ll be trying to get one from Citibank or Wachovia or something. Jeez, I need like 25,000 just for this year alone. Next year…probably more!
