Okay, here's the short version:

My college mislead me into thinking that my Tuition was going to cost a fraction of what it actually does. I checked and called and continuously reiterated the question and looked into it, and they kept assuring me that it would be pretty much covered by my Financial Aid.

Then, when I go to register on Thursday, they kick me in the teeth by saying "lol no it's actually like, double that".

So apparently every time I asked them "Are you SURE that my Financial Aid will pay for my tuition?" and they told me "Yes, it WILL pay for the tuition", they actually meant "It will be applied to your Tuition and we don't know what the words 'ay for' actually mean".

We had to come up with $300 in pretty much 2 hours, and now we're in debt for about $500; not including the $360 for my books, plus the gas money it's going to cost to go back-and-forth to the college, 4 days of the week, for a 20 minute drive between my house and the college itself.

Needless to say, I'm practically scrambling to find a job, and nobody around here is hiring me.

Seriously, I hate to have one of these "baww times are tough" journals because the economy is already in the shitter and I know everybody has their own troubles, but I could *really, really use some Commissions right now*.

Any, at all.

They're still only $5 Chibis and $7 Fullbodies. If you wanted something else / more, all you have to do is Note me and we can discuss it.

If you've read this far, thank you, even if you don't buy any art. At least someone will listen.
