So. I've been having trouble with financial aid/bursar lately. (Who hasn't? At least once.) I felt like I should share this story, just due to the insane stupidity of it. Alright. So I have a loan that..., they'll seriously try. I've handed the whole ordeal over to my grandparents, in hopes that someone with more years on me won't get the brush off quite as easily. But jeez. I mean, seriously

Hi, I am a grad student who is looking into dropping one of my studio classes. For those of you who have done this process before, could you tell me if financial aid is affected, i.e. I would need to pay back the $3000? Thanks in advance.

...a winter coat ffs!) Thankfully with me being ridiculously sad recently, I've not been going out as much so I've not been spending as much. Butttt it's Christmas soon and just argh. I hate my finances not being in order ¬_¬ And yes, I realise I have *some* money tucked away in another place, but I'm not even going to consider dipping into that before I have to put down a deposit on a house...
