Backstory: I am set to graduate with my M.Ed next semester. I have a 4.0. I need two more classes. FI is currently jobless because he is student teaching and our school does not allow him to student teach and be employed at the same time. I am attempting to support us on my student worker salary from the University that we attend.
I currently owe money on this semester's tuition due to lack of funds (obviously). In order to graduate, I need to take two more classes, and pay my tuition in full by May, 2010. I am not allowed to enroll because I have not fully paid this semester's tuition. I have applied for tuition waivers (they ran out of money, but didn't tell anyone until after the deadline for applications had passed), applied for scholarships (one for spring is due today), and have pulled strings and sent letters to as many influential people as I can. As of right now, I can't enroll, so I can't graduate. I am beyond stressed out because I have two classes left and my career is contingent upon my graduation. I'm currently waiting to hear about scholarships and about potentially lifting the hold, but there's nothing I can do but wait.
Thanks for letting me vent. You ladies are so supportive and I definitely feel safe venting here. I'm sorry it's not related, but, hey, who knows, if I can't enroll, I suppose that emotional eating could make it very GIS related! :-P
