My email system is down. I'm not expecting anything important, but still, it's annoying that I can't get in.

I am not allowed to transfer to the only school I want to go to. My parents just said no.

I have no idea how I can find a way to pay the $20000 a year it will cost after scholarship and I dont know what to do. I am miserable where I am and know that Hofstra would make me happy, being near the city would make me happy. I don't want to be stuck in Ohio for the rest of my life which is what would happen.

I don't know what to do and i hate my parents so much

My mom went to Hofstra-- maybe you could take out a student loan?

They already have the FASFA and the first year they expect the $11000 from my family.

I'm really sorry . My sister went through the same thing when deciding colleges. Maybe there's a different school on long island that you can go to?

No my parents dont want me to go ANYWHERE on Long Island. Pretty much they dont think Hofstra is a good school and think I want to go there for reasons that aren't true.

So yeah, now I am looking into more financial aid stuff, but I dont know because if I am paying my own way for college I won't have enough money to actually go into NY and do the internships that are a big part of why I want to go to Hofstra. And I couldn't afford to do anything fun.

Life just sucks right now and so many people in Ohio don't see why it sucks. I think they are just blind

Uh oh. Drink lots of orange juice!! Mine's been kinda scratchy for a few days; I don't know what's up.

My mom called at 9 and woke me up, but I went back to sleep until a few minutes ago.

How much time do you have to get it in, Caitie?

I don't know why, but I'm watching Martha; she's surrounded in balloon hats, and it's very, very strange.

I had really good sushi last night.

I don't know if any of you remember how last week I popped by tired and twisted the tire rods into bits...but anyway just to sum that day up:
Car. Run over rock. Pop tire. Twist rods into a pretzel. Sent to mechanic. Charged $500. Alignment not fixed. Wheel is "fixed".

NOT.

I was just driving back from picking my sister up and the whole axle/rod that connects the tire to the car FELL OFF!. And I was passing a mailman so I was in the middle of the road.

-_- After calling mom (who called the police station to see if they can move the car, we were just past it.) and AAA my sister and I are sitting on the side of the road. Well, I should mention my dads a cop and there were like no calls today because first one cop shows up, who is my dad's friend and who I know...and is my spanish teachers husband. He looks at the car. Looks at me and says "Did you JUST get this fixed?". So, we talked. He says how my dad's going to be pissed off. We call mom. Another cop shows up. Looks at the car. Says: "Ges!". Now with the two cops cars, they make a "path" to direct traffic. One is behind my car, and another is to the right on the side of the road. Now my mom called the garage so they send their wrecker immediately. A minute or two passes.....ANOTHER cop shows, who also happens to be a friend of my fathers (I don't know about the 2nd cop...). He says he's going to really yell at the mechanic when he gets there. Repeats that my dad's going to be pissed.

A minute or so goes by...another friend of my dad's comes up the road and talks. And I repeat, says my dad's going to be pissed and the four of them talk about how my wheel completely broke off and how the mechanic didn't fix it.

And my dad's in Atlanic City, so the first cop remembers how his car is still at the police station. So, we just remembered to cancel AAA (the garage truck is coming) and he drives us the whole 5 seconds to the station and I use my dad's car and I drive home.

So, what have we learned from this story? How many cops does it take to direct traffic around a car....It's kinda funny when you think about it...Except take out the fact that I was shaking with anger while getting out of the car after it happened. Just think, I get three cops because there was nothing going on.

That does suck.

And to all who have AP tests this week, Good luck!!! You will do fine, you have been preparing for a while they aren't that scary.

And I have to get in the deposit ASAP if I don't want to get stuck with freshmen (which I do NOT want at all...I would want to kill myself).

I have $436 in the bank right now so it looks like $300 will be going to Hofstra so I can be guarenteed a room.

[xoxRogue]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 3:25pm

Yes it does. But I'm just going to focus on the amusing fact that I had three cops standing there with me...It's just funny in my mind.

And I actually just took one of my AP tests today, and I have another on Friday. So, thanks for the good luck!

I hope everything works out for you, Caitie .

My mom called me in the middle of my presentation today to ask how my presentation went *shakes head*.

[caitiesus1522]

Posted: 5/1/06 at 3:33pm

Yeah, right now my goal is to get at least two jobs lined up from now until august (one weekdays one nights and weekend).

THankfully I can get the entire $22000/year as a student loan...but I need to start saving money so I will be able to pay it off. It is a HUGE number. Times three. And we all know that prices for college are going to keep going up. I will probably leave undergrad with $75000 of debt and then have to go to grad school.

I just pray my parents change their minds and help out at least a little. Even if it is just what they would pay where they wanted me to go it would be a HUGE help.
