exams AND student loans. heaven help me.
« on: May 18, 2006, 03:27:17 PM »
Just finished exam 1 of 3.  The other two are next week.  Now, I am beginning to freak out about next year!!!

I got a TERI loan plus regular student loans last year.  This year, they're killing me! Loans and exams at the same time...

I can't get another TERI because I had a cosigner last time and a two-income family.  Arg.  Anyone have second-year blues?
had a bit of a wobble.

Well, crap.  I tried to apply for the TERI just on my own.  Stupidly, I didn't realise that not having a job would cause trouble.  They have a space for "student" "unemployed - with income" "unemployed -without income" but it won't let you finish the application until you have entered the number of years you've been working at your current job.  Makes sense, but what are "housewives" (or "kept women" as I like to call myself) supposed to do?

For the first time in 8 years, I don't have a job (or three...).  I can't use the "household" income as hubby is not a US citizen or LPM...  I don't not have a job because we're millionaires, but because I'm supposed to focus on school (which I couldn't do the first go round).  Grr.  I hate being in limbo.

*sigh*

Argh, that sucks, Trillian!  Did you try entering '0' for the amount of years to see if that would work?
Now a triple citizen!
