Went to college for three years, hated it because I didn't know what I wanted to do. Took a break for a few years and decided I needed to go back. I was working a full-time day job, a part-time job, and taking classes. I didn't want to have to take out any more loans. At that rate, I knew it would take me forever to finish, so I switched to a full-time evening job and loaded up on classes during the day. Got special permission to take more than the normal load for two semesters. Before I started my last semester, my loser boyfriend told me that he'd help me with tuition because I wasn't going to have it. Well, the bill is due and no help from the BF. The registrar had gotten to know me very well while I was going to school, and she finally called and said she couldn't put it off any longer, she was going to have to pull me from my classes - it was killing her to do it. She gave me two more days to try and come up with something. The next day I had to go to the mall for some reason, and while I was driving through the parking lot - EUREKA! An elderly lady runs through a stop sign and puts a dent in my fender and cracks the cover on my headlight. She gets out of the car and says "Why does this always happen to me?" I immediately called the registrar and said "Guess what? I got hit by a car!" She said "Why are you so happy?" I said, "Because I think it will cover my tuition! Can you give me a few extra days?" She just laughed and laughed and said yes. A few days later I had a nice check for the damage to my car and yes, it covered my tuition. I swear I patted that dent and smiled every day for a month after that!
So you see, you never know what miracle is waiting around the corner (or beyond the stop sign, ha ha!).

Not yet but my tuition is on my visa bill so I have until the 15th of next month to pay it off or else get hit with interest charges...I am pretty sure I qualify since before when I filled it out they would tell me that they assessed me as making more than spending so I wasn't eligible and it would pop up right after I hit submit. I'm waiting and crossing my fingers for an email saying that I will at least get some help!
I might be working two jobs come Sept and then I have an agency for movie extra work and so far they have booked me 1 job and I might have another movie booked Monday but it's the same time as my second job interview for the job in Sept :( I'm trying to change the interview time so I can do it all and save a bit of $$ before school, but pretty sure I can't change this interview time so the movie will be out of the question Monday. Sucks because it has Jonathan Rhys Myers in it and I'm a HUGE fan...Like HUGE!
But I plan to be poolside with a cool beverage ...all day long! ( except when I am thrifting of course)
