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!*

I think once I leave Walmart things will be better overall. They were great when I was so desperate for a job, but now it is just really bringing me down, becuase I have no time for myself or my homework. I'm going to apply on campus for a job and hopefully that will come through, but if not I know that the store across from Walmart is hiring, and from everything I've heard, they are much, much better to work for. As for the debt...sigh. I think I just have to bite the bullet and do it, and know that in the end I'll be a lot happier about the whole thing.
