New Lunargyros page was last Tuesday, which you can read here. For some reason, the note I added didn't show up...

UUUUUUUUUUUUGHASKDJKALDJALKDJLKA I hate loans, hate them with the fiery passion of a thousand Salamander Entities that just noticed you tried to use cure around them, you fool!

Sallie Mae is not budging on allowing my dad to be a co-signer. His credit is apparently bad, through absolutely no fault of his own. And he doesn't know when the credit rating will go back up enough to get that fixed, even though those debts have now been paid off. I've tried asking my other relatives, but none of them are in a good position to co-sign either. Everyone has kids in college, or is refinancing, or something else.

Which means I can either a) apply for a personal loan from my bank, or b) ask my parents about a home equity loan. The latter feels like asking a lot from my parents, so I guess I'll try and apply for the personal loan. Except the interest rate on that is gonna suck compared to the career training loan. Dude, screw uber-unhelpful Sallie Mae and exponentialy-unhelpful Equifax Credit Rating place, which is apparently run entirely by robots. I don't even have bad credit. I just don't have enough current credit to apply, or I don't own a home, or I actually finished college. Because apparently, once you finish college you automatically can buy a home and have a great job that pays a lot and your credit's just swell, whoop-dee-doodle! HAHA NO. It's horribly ironic that you apparently need tons of money to apply for a loan. But if I had tons of money, then I wouldn't need to apply for a loan in the first place! 8D

Assuming I can get any of this to work out, I better not screw up at this school at all and make sure I get one of those nice, animation-y six-figure-income jobs within the next few years like admissions and financial aid keep saying are so likely. 'Cause if I don't, I'm going to be in debt for the rest of my natural life. I probably will anyway.

And my boss "yelled" at me again today because I've been making so many phone calls trying to find co-borrowers or figure out how I can pay this damn tuition. Sorry, it really ain't my fault that the offices I need to talk to are only open, LE GASP, during the same time this office is open! It's not like I want to be spending HO NOES 15 MAYBE 20 MINUTES OUT OF MY DAY on the phone. The sooner I can work this out and get financial aid, the sooner I can stop wasting your time and instead feel good about wasting my time 'cause I know I'll only have to waste it for one more month before I can go learn 3D.

Maybe it's because I've having such trouble with this money stuff, or maybe because I do want out of this job, but now I'm really looking forward to going to this school. I want to learn this 3D stuff and, hell, get a job at Disney. Or Pixar! Anywhere I want! I JUST NEED SOME STUPID MONEY TO GO.

Writing: My biggest consolation right now is that I'm having soooo much fun writing this fic. ♥ Gonna work on it more today...
