Hi, so, I've got a big dramatic life update under the spoiler (to avoid shitting on the days of people who don't want it). Don't worry, no one's hurt or dead, but I just want to let people know in case my availability changes.
So basically I just learned that I'm not taking enough credits to earn federal financial aid because of how my grad program works- last year I took the minimum amount of classes, but since this year it's just one class and my thesis, it's not enough. Unless I can either take another class to reach the minimum number of credits (unlikely), get a loan (likelihood uncertain, especially if my dad refuses to co-sign), or actually have my dad get off his duff and spend the money he uses to buy his girlfriend a car and vacations to Vietnam on my goddamn education (he's a s**t human being and I don't trust him to do this), I will probably have to drop out of graduate school. In the middle of my second year. With a half-done thesis.
I'm doing everything I can to try and remedy this problem, but please forgive me if I seem a bit turbulent. Everything basically just went to s**t and I'm not optimistic about my chances of recovery. Apologies in advance for any missteps I make.
I had a case of canned biscuits fall from the top of a pallet last night, and slam right into my face. The whole left side feels numb. I have a knot on my brow and my nose is like, 'glasses, why do you has to sit on me?'
