I'm gonna do it
I've wanted to go back to school for years, but every time I try, I either get pregnant or someone divorces me, which really throws me for a loop. :lol:
Monday I'm going to head down to PSU and talk to someone about enrollment and financial aid. I don't really know how it all works, but I'm going to find out. I can definitely work part-time while in school full-time, and my youngest is in full-day kindergarten, which gives me time for day classes.
As an older minority female single parent with a 3.9 GPA going into the sciences, I'm pretty confident I will be able to get decent aid to cover tuition. My main worry is getting the financial aid I need to pay my bills. If I can really for real pull this off, it would mean I could have my PhD by the time I'm 45!
I really hope this works out. Wish me luck!
I'm not calling you Doctor, but good luck anyway.

You DO know how to prevent both of those events now, don't you?
hehehe
Good Luck! :D
Awesome Tiki. Good luck !
I'm so excited for you. And envious!
Great idea Tiki.
What sort of field are you going to study? What institution?
Portland State University, probably biochemistry for starters.
Good luck, Tiki! I hope you can get the financial aid all in a row. ::crosses fingers for you::
Can't help you with the school thing except for wishing you luck.
Now on the other hand... if you decide you want to get pregnant again...:doit::knockdup:
Awesome idea, good luck Tiki!

Abstinence! :lol:
Thanks guys!
Capn... oh no you di'nt.
well... I didn't MEAN to.
So today I applied for co-enrollment at PSU and PCC, and I started on my FAFSA but I don't have my 2008 tax papers back yet and my CPA is on vacation until the 27th. :(
So I can forget about you getting pregnant then, right?:rolleyes:
Just a bump in the road Tiki don't worry. Anything you want bad enough will be yours! :)

Just file an EAD GTFO form with the STFU addendum attached and you'll be AFU PDQ.

God, I hope so! :lol: It would take a miracle, though, so I'm not too worried. If I turn up pregnant, I'll be sure to let you know so you can worship the new Messiah.

Thanks! I think I'll have my documents in plenty of time for fall term, and I'll just pay cash for the one class I want to take to brush up on math this summer.
wtg.
now, *NOW* ur doin it right.
brava.
Good plan Tiki. I get the impression you are rapidly turning this year from one to remember for all the wrong reasons, into one that you'll remember as a brilliant turning point and the beginning of an exciting and strengthening period of your life. Way to go girl! We right behind you.
@ Lj. I think you may have missed the FFS form in which you establish your credentials through a 3000 word essay.
Ahh, paperwork. I remember my uni days with a strangely fond eye-rolling contempt for the red tape.
After three years, postgrads had to submit, every six months, a statement explaining why they hadn't finished their thesis. Most people handed in at least a couple of these, I and many others must have managed seven or eight. These statements were routinely circulated amongst friends and colleagues, cut-and-pasted, paraphrased, and generally short-circuited with routinely regurgitated bullshit.
Writing first year essays was therefore excellent preparation for my future career!

Thanks Shawnee! I'll bookmark that.
And thanks, UT, I love the "You Can Do It!" guy. :lol:
Hey Tiki:
Your bookkeeper has been back for two days now. What's the status?
She may have pissed off the bookkeeper also.
