Almost Had a Panic Attack.

This morning I picked up my balls and called the bank that I owe money to, and the cell phone company I flaked on over a year ago. I just completely stopped paying either of them when I moved home a year ago. It keeps me up at night, knowing that I'm acruing debt every month.

So, The bank didn't answer, so I left a message and I'm waiting to hear back. While I was on hold for the phone company I was actually shaking, and felt completely nauseous. The phone man ended up being completely nice to me, which calmed me down quite a bit. We'll see how I can tackle this debt, it's got to be done.

Alright, Who's Giving Me Money?

I've been working on financial aid, and today I made a ton of calls trying to figure out who exactly is going to give it to me.

First I called FAFSA. No such luck, I'm not eligible for federal aid through them.
Next, I called Sallie Mae, the private lender my school recommended I get in touch with way back in August when I toured the school. Turns out, they no longer do business with my school. Hmm. Odd.
So finally I did what I should have done weeks ago and just called the school, asking to be connected to financial aid. Apparently, their financial aid people were both out of the office today (which I should have known, as the school itself is out of session on Mondays) So I left my contact information and hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. I am trying to be patient, but realistically If I don't hear back by lunch tomorrow, I will be callign again to try and hunt this guy down.

I'm more determined than ever to make this happen. I need this.

Money Money Money

So, I've just gone to consult my banker about the student loans they advertise on their website. Apparently, they don't issue loans to students going to trade schools. What a disappointment.

Back to square one as far as funding is concerned. Brainstorming like mad. I'm considering asking my parents, but that will be my absolute last resort.
