I've got a bit of a personal rant that I just put on facebook, but I believe it fits here too
I think tonight marks the night of the worst summer I've ever had. At first, this may all carry into idiotic rambling, but it all ties together in the end, trust me. It all starts a week or two into summer. I go for my long overdue driver's test. It was a little gloomy and rainy that morning, but I really didn't think anything of it. Turns out I fail it without even getting onto the road portion. If that's not a big enough slap to the face, I fail it by one point. Just one point. Not good at all. I've yet to try again. It somewhat stems from there into about three parts. First part is I wasn't able to get a job after that. Right now, I'm babysitting 4 days a week for my sister. It's not bad by any means, and I get $50 a week, but it just isn't enough moneywise (which I'll get into later) and this isn't really something I can put on a resume. Second off, I haven't really been able to see my friends very often. Obviously due to the job, I don't need your "Welcome to life" comments. If was able to drive, I could see 'em after I left Heather's. It wouldn't be a problem at all, but it is. It's not life for me yet. I can't get around, and I don't see it as an actual job. At least at school I could see my friends, even if it is passing in the hallways. That brings me to my third problem that stems from this. I haven't been able to see Megan as often as I'd like to. Right now, it's at about every two weeks. Not to far into summer, she moved from Coloma to St. Joe because they sold their house and prepping a new one to go in somewhere else. See, if she was still in Coloma, I'd have no problem riding my bike there every day or so. I was actually getting ready to right before they moved. This obvious distance really sucks as well.
Now, there's one major problem that's not related to this incident at all. Financial aid for going to college. We've been scrambling around for the past six or seven weeks trying to get everything in place so I can get to Michigan State University. Went to orientation, scheduled my classes and everything. We get home after that and really start to work on getting everything ready for MSU. Couple of snags along the way. First off, can't do the Native American waiver. Started last year, the clan you're in has to be nationally recognized. The clan I share blood with isn't nationally recognized. Along with that, my mom tries to get approved for a Parent PLUS loan. No dice. Ups my federal loan money to about $9500 for the year, which isn't enough. It's about half. So we go for private loans elsewhere. We try a Sallie Mae loan. Mom doesn't get approved for that. My stepdad doesn't get approved for it. No one else can step up to the plate to cosign, not even my dad, though he did save up some money for my education. I give him much credit for that. Long story short, without that loan, I don't get to go to Michigan State University in the fall. As of right now, I don't know what I'm going to do. If I had gotten a part or full time job during the summer, I could have saved up a considerable amount of money more than I have right now. I'm not sure how many of you are actually going to read all of this, but I needed to say something. It's pretty much over. I can't do anything about it now. This has been on my mind all summer and it had to get out, now that I pretty much have a final verdict.
