Financial Aid Woes

I have gotten little sleep since last night, tossing til about 4am. I didn't wake up til around noon. This $3,000 tuition bill (due by Monday) is going to kill me. I spent most of today phoning the school dealing with it. Then the bank. I have to get up early tomorrow and drive to campus to fight with Financial Aid, then head to the registrar to charge this behemoth bill to my card (basically because I know Financial Aid isn't going to have my grants returned in time for classes starting Monday.) It's bad enough to be grappling with all these health issues, family drug overdoses, basket case loon relatives on the verge of collapse, needy grandparent... now I have to face inclement bankruptcy just to finish a degree. Why go through this. Why not just quit. Someone is trying to send me a message. I'm getting slammed from every side, it seems.

I can completely understand Webkittyn's current dilemma. To receive a bill of such herculean amount for her rescued kitties, a shakespearean thrust of a rapier to the heart of a person just trying to do what is right... I'm sure her eyes about fell out of her head. I know mine did for this freaking bill. I'm still tasting bile in my mouth. I'm still in shock. Not sure if my heart has started beating again yet. I still can't freaking sleep. Christ, I am such a dumbass. God this is depressing.

At least my $300 plus textbooks arrived in time.
