The benifits of being a poor college student.

There is a picture of my ring with the wax model of the wedding band with it...I love it and it had exceeded my expectations. I will be picking it up on Saterday and will post an actual picture of my ring after that.
There are many benifits to being a poor married college student in America. First there is a little thing called the FAFSA that gives you grants and subsidized loans (subsidized loans you don't have to pay the intrest while you are in school grants you don't have to pay back at all) With the onset of this semester I got enough grants and subsidized loans to pay for my out of state tuition with the addition of another source of help as well. Almost $9,000 all together. Today I recieve an email saying that I have another $2,000 in the mail in a late to reward grant. Oh the joys of being poor...that means that I can pay off my wedding band rather than puting it on credit!! The great thing about this grant is that I can get $4,000 my jr. year and $4,000 my sr. year. I got this supposedly my last semester of my Jr. year missing out on $2,000. At this university I am1 credit shy of being a sr. which gave me the second semester of jr. money...I still have 1 full year of this grant! Needless to say I am very happy today!
