I can't wait to hear about your Ginge...Shannon! I can't wait to hear about your Ginger Tea experience. I quit the cleanse, but I kept up the tea and I honestly think it's the thing that saved my insides. Forget starvation, I'm preaching the ninja tea!<br /><br />Teeeeestify!Hikarihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07897925797314276749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626018339864604040.post-6075405650351120242011-04-07T16:43:55.670+01:002011-04-07T16:43:55.670+01:00It's not every school that's this expensiv...It's not every school that's this expensive. I just happened to go to a "for profit" school - meaning they charge out their eyeballs for everything. I thought i was going to a regular everyday normally-priced school until i started comparing when i decided to move across the country... and was devastated. I ended up having to drop out!!<br />Not to mention, it's been a few years since i left school, my APR is around 8%, and whatever i don't pay gets tacked back onto the loan with more interest - including non-payment fees. So i didn't originally borrow that much money, but that is what it has become.

WOW. <br /><br />(Now for some more words) I can't believe how ridiculously difficult this stuff can be, and I didn't actually realise how different it is here in Australia. Our student loans are provided/subsidised by the government, and are deducted from our salaries (at the same time as tax is taken) and only come out when you earn over a certain threshold. So theoretically, if you never get a job, or even if you do get one, but it's not very well paid, you never have to pay it back. <br /><br />I think it is so disgusting how rude some people can be. Perhaps it might be time to track down a voodoo doll for that 'customer service of the year award winner'...hehe.The Procrastination Princess aka Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03322040453219087792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626018339864604040.post-70999189170188794482011-04-06T02:28:44.844+01:002011-04-06T02:28:44.844+01:00Dang!

The lady i was talking about was asking questions like, "Why aren't you paying?" and when i finally said, "because i don't have a job and even if i did i can't afford the amount that's due." She mocked me and asked who supports me.<br />Really? Lady comes from a world were husbands don't support their wives?!<br />Blah!!<br /><br />Jocelyn - haha i thought really hard about the placement of that tattoo... it would defo go under the hairline at the back of my head, just under the crown... where my hair will always cover it. :)Shannon Angelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01182345011572987010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626018339864604040.post-33745700731149376892011-04-05T22:50:46.726+01:002011-04-05T22:50:46.726+01:00Oooo, your tattoo offer is tempting!

Those loan officers can be tricky, I got the wrong loan for what I went to school for. Luckily, mine was only a minor mistake and the loan I got isn't too different from the one I should have had.<br /><br />Good luck with figuring it out, I hate working with people who don't know anything about their own job.Jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14211712423069242505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4626018339864604040.post-68388169162185080712011-04-05T22:39:14.943+01:002011-04-05T22:39:14.943+01:00Wow.
