Well, I finally filled out the FAFSA application. I've been going to school since August, and I was really hoping to be able to make it through one semester without having to get a student loan, but it isn't going to happen. I saved up as much as I could after finding out that I was going to lose my job, but it just wasn't enough. Next year I should be able to get some financial aid that I don't have to pay back, but this year it's going to have be a student loan. ugh.
