School, money and me, oh my!

Just found out today that I qualify for an unsubsidized loan.  If I take it, then I'll owe about 8,000 as of right now.  On the other hand, I can't really picture how I'm going to pay for school any other way.  So...I guess I'll be taking the loan and selling my soul for the next several years.  Is a BA really worth it?  I hope so.  I wish I could quit Walmart right now and just concentrate on school, but I don't think that will happen.  However, I got a coaching today becuase I've been absent 6 times since Oct.  Yeah, pesky little things like a bad back and stomach flu will do that to a person.  They told me if I get 7 absences then it is grounds for termination.  So, yeah, ok.  I guess I should just start looking for a new job, sigh.  Oh, well.  It was nice having insurance while it lasted. 
*Hugs Flist!*

There are some jobs available on campus. I think I'm going to try and apply on Monday when I go see about the financial aid. If I can get a job then I can quit Walmart and save everyone the trouble, plus I think the school will work better with my schedule. At least I hope so. At any rate, I would probably have more time to do my homework.
I know the debt is worth it, but right now I'm still kind or realing from being in the hole for so long. It's kind of like taking a deep breath before a long plunge.
