Loan freak-out

So I got this charming email from the Financial Aid office yesterday. I won't copy it here, but the basic summary of it says that hi, your loans for the summer are cancelled. And why? Because of the sucky economy. Michigan's government and the federal government have decided not to dole out any new loans for the summer because of the economy. (Which makes perfect sense--if the economy sucks, why wouldn't they want to help finance poor people's educations so that they can develop their skills, find a job, make money and inject that money into the economy. Perfect. Sense.) My school goes through the government for its student loans.

What does this mean for Krissy? No loans for the summer, which means no independent study or spending money for the UK.

Lkoueiorelkm lkejreoiuorsei!!!!!

But! According to the email, there is hope! I can take out a loan from a corporation! Because they are kind and want to fund educations....with twice the APR rates of government loans.

But still. Thanks to one loan company, there is hope. I frantically went through the online process today to see if I'd get approved and can do my independent study and have spending money for this trip.

Please, baby Jesus. PLEASE, let everything go through. Because I do not need anything else to stress about right now.
