I no becuz of mah lerningz

Going through the process of filling out student loan applications and looking at student lines of credit. I'm confused. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST GIVE ME THE MONIES? ;__; I do know one thing, I'm going to be in debt up to my eyeballs after I graduate.

I haven't really felt like updating too much as of late. I've just been getting things organized for school and information and more information and some more information. At least I have a lot of time to do that because I have been off work since May 20th because my back went out AGAIN! Two shifts back at work and everything just went to hell and I practically had to start back from square one. I was in so much pain, but thankfully it wasn't as painful as the first go around (thank you powers that be). I'm now off work until at least the end of June or I may not even go back to work since I will be quitting in August anyway. All my claims and stuff for the injury has been put into the government but they're taking their sweet time to process it (as usual). I hope the make a decision soon because I now have less than $4 in my bank account and that's it. Food is nice and so is paying rent.

I've been meaning to do a picspam of when my mum and I took care of Bianca (we call her Bonka) a couple of weeks ago. Our landlord came by a couple of days ago and he has to leave again on the 18th of June until July 2nd so we get to Bonka sit again. I've forgotten how much I like having a dog, but the full time work of it is a lot. I'm going to stick with cats for the next while.

Does anyone watch the show My Little Pony Friendship is Magic? *hears crickets* I've kind of gotten addicted to it and cannot stop watching episodes on Youtube. When I kept on watching it mum said that she was worried about me. :P Although it is kind of cool to watch because last summer as part of my Foundations in Illustration and Design course we took a tour of the studio that animates the show here in Vancouver. I got a bit of a sneak peak last year and to see it all come together is pretty neat.

Vancouver has become a complete hockey city, it's so unreal seeing the crows during the games and just everyday people wearing their shirts or jerseys. So many cars have the flags on them and stickers, it's awesome. Everyone seems to be having a great time and just partying. My dad doesn't enjoy working too much on game days since he's a bus driver and has to drive down town and contend with a hundred thousand people or more. At least there's only (maybe) 4 games left so he can relax afterwards. I fully believe that we can beat Boston and win the cup.

I'd better get money otherwise I'm not going to be able to go. I'm confident I'll get most of what I need since I've been living under the poverty line for so many years and they take pity on us poor folk. :P

I love the old school MLP so much; I still have all my ponies. :P

Don't forget to apply for bursaries and grants once you get into school! Go to the Student Union and ask about the bursary list. FREE MONEY! I got $250 one year. Also, ask about any other grants specific to your program because again FREE MONEY! You will have to apply but it's basically just a "why should we give you our dough?".

Don't worry, bb, I'm all over that. I met with financial aid last week and I've got the directory/university list of general scholarships ect. and also all the program specific ones. I also signed up at studentawards.com and started looking around there. I filled out my first application today. :D

What pisses me off about the higher education system is that it inevitably messes up everyone's financial future because it's gotten so expensive. They're like, "COME, GET YOUR DEGREE AND GET A CHANCE FOR A BETTER JOB AND ALL THE SHINY THINGS," and then they put on their troll face and rub their hands together and go, "AND IN THE MEANTIME, WE'LL BE TAKING ALL YOUR MONIEZ AND MAKING YOU PAY US OFF FOR YEARS TO COME. MUAHAHAHA." It seems fundamentally screwed up, somehow. /soapbox

I want to see pictures of the doggie? (Actually, I think I already did on FB, but even so.) I LIEK DOGGEHS. They are definitely full-time pets, though.

Girl, I haven't seen any of MLP but graphics and gifs of it keep appearing EVERYWHERE. I feel like I've seen it because I'm constantly running into their cute little faces. xD

It does seem fundamentally screwed up because not only will I be worrying about finding a job after school but paying back the $60K that I borrowed. One good thing is that I don't have a limit as to how many scholarships/grants/bursaries that I can apply for. Some students rely on those 100%, but then again they probably have a little bit of luxury to be able to do that.

I shall try and post more pictures tomorrow. I have a ton and need to sort through them all.

I kept seeing all their faces/gifs/pics everywhere as well and I finally sat down to watch the first two episodes and I was hooked. I never expected to love it this much. :P
