Just let the wind out of my sails, why don’t you?

I’ve just come from HCC’s counseling office, and it seems like the positive momentum that had been building over the last couple of weeks has finally deflated. I was so close, too.
I’ve been quietly working on receiving a full scholarship so that I could go to school full time and finally become a certified computer tech. It would have really made the difference between just barely being able to pay my bills and actually having money to put away for later.
The deadline to apply for the scholarship is tomorrow and I need one more letter of recommendation from a Math teacher. I know someone, but I am having trouble getting ahold of him. I had been planning on calling him again later to see if I could meet him to pick it up or have him fax it to me, but now I don’t know if I am going to bother.
It turns out that I jumped through hoops to obtain my old TAAS scores for nothing, as they are completely worthless. I have to take HCC’s placement test, which not something I had been planning on having to do. I’ve been out of school for too long, and I simply don’t have the testing fee money.
It’s times like this that I honestly wish that I would randomly be shot and be done with it.

Did you fill out a FAFSA form to see which grants and loans you qualify for. Gov’t loans don’t start getting paid back until after you are done with school.
Four year schools that are accreditted typically have more to give scholarship wise. Private schools especially tend to give out some serious scholarships.
