With the help of financial and academic advisors, we finaggled my financial aid. I found out if I drop to half time, I'll be able to get $2500 in living expenses per term with the help of increasing my unsubsidized federal loan and the addition of a Perkins loan (which I thought didn't have funding this year). Not as much as I would have had if the parent loan went through, but it's enough to pay the rent. I just wish there was more job openings around here. I haven't been able to land a job yet.

So, Calculus and Physics will be on hold until next year. For now I'll be fulfilling general education requirements.

BUT I DON'T HAVE TO MOVE BACK IN WITH MY PARENTS! ^^
