Same here! I could do with some email besides the mountain of "How to reach MILLIONS of potential customers for less than a penny apiece...!" that show up daily. It would be nice to get some email I wouldn't have to delete without reading.

P.S.: Your current situation is a good example of what happens when someone decides to make children with someone who doesn't deserve to have any. Use your father as an example of what not to look for in a potential mate.

Tora, you don't even know how much I understand what you're going through right now. But I do. Totally. Drop me an email sometime if you need me, or send me an ICQ, you're on my list.
As for my college tuition, it's 26 thousand a year. I get about 4 thousand on loan that I have to pay back, I get one 7,000 dollar scholarship from my college, plus another 3 thousand or so (depending on how nice they are). I get 5,000 this year on outside scholarship. Then there's some work study but that doesnt count towards tuition. I'm supposed to contribute 1,000 myself AND pay for my books and supplies (another 500 or so PER semester). I havn't been able to raise that 1,000 dollars ANY of the summers that i've worked before college, and probably won't this summer either, but my parents still expect me too. *sigh* Then they have to pay the rest, which this year works out to around 6 thousand. Not too bad. Last year they had to pay 8.
But by the time I'm done, i'll have 6 months to get a job before i'm paying 40 a month to one loan place and 163 a month to another.
Ugh. Isn't life grand?
