Crisis Averted.

So...
Since the last time I blogged, some things have been settled and I can think a little more clearly. Basically, I was told by a rather reputable source (my mother, who works in the financial aid office) that since the program I'm aiming for was to be funded by grants, I wasn't going to be "eligible" because I work... and don't mooch off the government.
I FINALLY got a meeting with the director, and lucky for me they have already thought of these things and have found a way to bypass them. Basically, they can classify a student however they want to make sure they can receive the grant. So that's the good news. The bad news is, by the time I'm ready to start, the grant will probably be gone. She said, "Well you know, the government is a mess. So I don't expect to have it for more than a year."

*sigh*

Whatever. One of the things that really drew me in was the fact that my tuition would be covered, but now that I'm here... and doing things... I'm just ready to move to the next chapter in my life, even if it means paying tuition and having student loans. Again. I really don't have a choice since everything is in the works.

So now that I know I'm not wasting my time with these prerequisites, it's back to the original plan. More details to come. It's Spring Break (which means 2 days off this week for me!-- don't tell work.), so I'll have some extra time on my hands. Might as well blog.
