Fay, so much ~ma for those little ones without their dad.
Aims, I'm so glad that your mom's heart is doing ok.
Askye, bless you for taking in two adult cats, even though it is a challenge. They will adjust, and they will learn to trust and love you. Please have faith in that.

I'm going to have to take out a student loan for next year. Never had a student loan before, and the information that I'm finding online is confusing. Anyone who's done this before know the basics of what I'm supposed to do?

Hil, I wish I could help, but it's been over 12 years since I've applied, and Al Gore invented the Internets, and they blossomed, and I suspect everything is different. I'd advise talking to your financial aid department. There will be lots of forms. They will require tax forms from the past few years. I think going through the Government is better than through a bank, but that's just me. good luck!
Yeah, I'm planning to go talk to the financial aid people tomorrow. My teaching assistantship runs out after this semester, and my parents said they could help me some, but it's not going to be enough for all my expenses and stuff. What I really need to talk to the financial aid people about is whether I qualify as a "full- or part-time student," since the university just has us register for a one-credit class while we're doing dissertation research.
OMG, I just got cookie on my monitor from Obama saying
This notion that I came in here ginned up to spend $800 billion...I have to say, having a President laying it down, and pointing out the truth is awesome. Go get 'em Mr. President!!!!
Hil, you should be considered a FT student if you are working on your dissertation, or at least that's how it worked lo these many years ago when I was ABD.
I checked the website. Buried way in the back of a form, it said that if I'm working on my dissertation and taking fewer than five credits, there's yet another form to fill out and have my adviser and dean sign to certify that the amount of work I'm doing is equivalent to at least part time. So that works out to something like six separate forms I need to fill out so far.
But there has to be a formula somewhere that says, the more forms you fill out, the more likely you are to get some dough.

That would be nice.
Argh. I hate filling out forms. Forms are confusing and ask weird questions that I don't understand.
I think I'll call my sister tomorrow. She's a tax lawyer/accountant, and got student loans for law school just a few years ago. She can probably explain this stuff to me.
