This journal is a little late, haha...

So, 23. Not much different from 22 actually - though I feel the need to get things done more so now than before. I've been making some calls and I've come to this conclusion:

It's damn hard to find scholarships for adults who want to go into post-secondary education. On top of that, there are hardly any scholarships out there awarded to students wishing to study massage! D:

I've also learned that since I live at home, I wont be able to get as much help from the government re: student loans as I thought I would, though the fact that I pay rent helps with that a little. Apparently, when I put all the numbers into a little loan calculator, the most I could get is around 12,000 dollars... Which is nothing to sneeze at! I mean, that's great! However, my schooling over 20 months will cost me just over 30,000 dollars. Which means that I'm going to have to ask my bank for help - and there are issues with this as well - because I'll need my parents to cosign for that line of credit - which I'm sure they wont do. Sigh.

Hopefully, I'll get some concrete full time work for the summer so that I can at least buy my books and my supplies with no financial aid. If I happen to get in for Sept that is. If I'm in for January instead - that's fine too - it'll give me time to save even more, and perhaps move out of my parents house and into my own place (which will help with the government loan thing...)

I'm so confused!!! Anyone out there who can help me out with all this? I really don't understand...
