Morning bloggers! It's exactly 8:57 am and I'm wired. Lol.
Yesterday I received my financial aid package from Oswego and Utica College. Oswego is giving me 9,863 for both the fall and Spring Semester so in total that's about 19,726 for a year. Their total fixed cost counting their tuition, Room and Board, Additional Charges, and Fixed Fees is $17,244. That sounds good and all, but they are giving me THREEE loans. Although that's less than the amount most people get in loans, Utica is only giving me TWO loans. They are giving me $16,483 for both the Fall and Spring Semester, which amounts to $32,966 for my first year. Their estimated total fixed cost counting tuition, required fees, room and board, and transition fees is $40,270. If I minus my financial aid excluding Federal Work Study, which is $30,866. The estimated amount I would owe Utica for the year would be $9,404. Not that bad right? At this point, it seems like Utica is offering me more financial aid. When I visit the college the week after next, I'll see if I can see myself there for the next 4 years of my life.
Today is the big day! My church is holding their Good Friday Service at my high school @ 7pm, and the youth ministry is holding our Good Friday Service at our church @ 10pm. There's going to be free food and a play so if you know where I live and what church I go to, stop by and see what's up. It's better than staying home right? Send me an e-mail if you need the address.
Well, I'm going to get started on more of my homework, eat some breakfast, and send one of my fellow seniors a poem to put in the yearbook. Hopefully I will receive more mail from colleges today and do my thing in the play at church. Oh yeah, I'm opening up the play with a monologue! :-D
While I fix my breakfast and get started on my homework, keep being blessed and make sure your legacy is like no other...

Good luck on your monologue. Do your thing.
Your statements concerning your Financial Aid made me sit and reminisce on the days of student loans and pell grants and those long, long lines we'd all stand in, awaiting our checks, so we could hit up the malls.
No wonder I never graduated college. I wish I could have taken it more seriously.
Like you are.
Thanks and it's never too late. You can still go to school... if that's what you want to do. There are plenty of online colleges that many people enroll in because it's more flexible with their schedules. Anyway, thanks for comment. :-D
