Ah, gotcha SA. Honestly, I don't know what kind of loan you'd be able to get, really--and you'd probably have to start paying it back right away, nearly (whereas student loans you can put off). You don't have any wealthy aunts or anything who can loan you some dough, I suppose.

Hate to say it, but I don't see any likely way besides credit cards. Once you're out of school they don't like to give you money without something that they can take back. And like meara said, they don't give you any time before you start paying back either.

Kristin and I are at Disneyland right now. You should all be jealous. Gotta run, almost on The Matterhorn.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Thought you might like one last excursion. I feel confident I won't be as entertaining as Trudes (or require Federalistas), but, well, I'm here! Yay Proximity!No one should ever be as entertaining as Trudes was there. I need to check and see if I am running out of time but a jaunt to Mexico sounds fun.
Did she invent fire, orgasms and the Internet?Whoever did, I shall worship them. Unless they invented mail from anyone but friends as well. Them? I curse.
I have four bags of recycling from going through stacks of mail and papers. And I still have more to go. I am officially the worst adult. I've only sorted and shredded too. I have a whole stack of things that need to be dealt with as well.
I just had something weird pop in my foot. Want someone to rub them and maybe fix whatever I just felt twing. Of course, I don't want it bad enough to invite the foot fetish boy over.

six hundred dollars for the visa,
Holy crap, really? Ouch.
There are banks that do personal loans. Wells Fargo, for instance. I bet the terms are bad, and it's probably a big ole mess, but they are out there. The Great Ex got one several years ago, and it seemed to work out okay for him.

Oh but the rocking thing in my stacks of unopened mail? Opening a bill and then opening a check cause they owed *me* the money instead of the other way around. Kick. Ass.

See, I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with paying it back immediately. I would be working consistently for a year, at least, anyway. But given my current (lack of) financial situation, there's no way I could make that money before the end of the term.
No wealthy aunts, sadly.

Can you try to nail a job before you go? Sometimes, if you do that, they pay for, or help with the visa.

Well, the problem is, I don't know where to look; and since I'm not starting until September, more or less, that's a pretty long-term commitment for the four months I'll be spending there.
