No shit! How many of us on this board consider ourselves independent and as successful as we feel we need to be without any XY chromosones around to whine in our ear about where their dinner is? Yeesh. Point your dad in our direction, vw, we'll set him straight.

I'm absolutely right about the deferral process. Er, what'd I say about it?

Your E doppelganger, Erin, actually answered that question.

I have written 2 paragraphs. Not pages. Paragraphs. Is that good enough to break for lunch then?

(er, sorry for the lame ass updates. Trying to shame myself into getting this done, but I don't think I need to involve the thread to quite this degree!)

VW, I'm hoping the Mother's Day plans and Monday paperwork all go well. And if marriage comes up again, maybe you can just tell your parents you're working on yourself for now...

ION ~ I would NOT recommend watching an entire season of House over the span of a few days to anyone.

I swear that I didn't used to be a hypochondriac. Now every blur of vision or minor ache has me briefly imagining the absolute worst.

Er, what'd I say about it?

Oops -- I can't read this early in the morning.

I would NOT recommend watching an entire season of House over the span of a few days to anyone.

I've been saving my season 1 DVDs for when I have the time to indulge in all of them more or less straight through. So, maybe I should save them for when others are around and can reassure me that, no, I do not have some weird ass disease that causes spots on my vajayjay while projectile vomiting?

LOVE your tag line, Jess!

With House, I'm not so worried about my va-jay-jay. More along the lines of two rare diseases attacking my immune system that'll be misdiagnosed at least eight times before a correct diagnosis is found by a cranky doctor that won't talk to me. Unless one of the diseases makes me crazy. Then we'll be the best of friends.

Nora, I for one am enjoying the homework updates.

Your E doppelganger, Erin, actually answered that question.

Aha! Well, she is always right.

OMG I've gone stupid all of a sudden. Hmm. time for a cup of tea.

My Nora can't possibly have gone all stupid. It just isn't possible.

Thank you Erin/Emily for recommending checking the lender's website. I am printing the form now. Of course, it requires my shrink to fill out a section, so I'm going to have to be "squoze" in to see him next week, but all should be well.

Although, there's a section on eligability for other federal loans. You aren't eligible for them unless your doctor says you've substantially improved. So, do I just have him write that letter at the same time? That's gonna look weird.

Edit: Hmmmm...I'm wondering if I should just pay this for three months, until I'm enrolled in school more than half-time again. I think the total disability thing is gonna look really fishy. Here's the form: deleted. Look at the eligibility section on page three. Thoughts?
