Re: "...fuck."

I'm thankful about the concern and positive response guys. Some through IMs, some through comments, some through Twitter. Really, I'm thankful. It means a lot that you guys care.
As for the situation at hand, recently got an email saying I qualify for more scholarship money, which might help. My mom is also going to try a different bank, and she managed to get hold of Peter (Her Boyfriend's) Social. I'm not questioning HOW she did it, but I know she has her persuasive womanly "Charms" (AKA Peter is whipped). She might also try contacting some of the other family members to see how things go.
I was also alerted by a friend from college an option I neglected to look at. To graduate at my college, all majors have to take part in a seminar, internship, Thesis, etc. Some require an Internship, but mine (Conservation Law Enforcement) does not. However, Internship is the easiest and most practical option. It still costs money to make it count for Credits, but less than spending another semester at the college would, and I can get some Financial aid for that. It's something I'm planning on looking into more, and even though I'm technically past deadline to declare one, seeing as this IS an emergency type situation, I think the college might make an exception.
Our options are out there. I will be forcing my mom to call the Financial aid tomorrow one way or the other, with me right there, and we're planning on discussing with them my options at the moment. Wish me luck guys.

If you need a totemic spirit at your side, let me know and I'll see what I can conjure up.
Conservation law enforcement? o.o
And yes, Conservation Law Enforcement. Basically the degree alot of Game Wardens, State Cops (Some Local in rural Maine), and Park Rangers who work security might have. I'm trying for park Ranger.
Ah, cool! What are your ideas on laws??
But hey, if you're ever in the woods and you find critter bones or a freshly dead critter, let me know! (I do taxidermy work.) :o
Also, looked into the Federal Pell Grant. Apparently used to get it, but don't anymore... Which is weird, as all one needs it says is to complete your Fafsa, which I did...
I also had to go around asking 3 people nonrelated to me twice a year to reimburse a statement saying "Yes, I have no parents, I have no grandparents, I had legal guardians until I turned 18, I have no way to pay for college and know no one who can help, etc" over and over for 6 years. x_x;; I don't miss that at all..
