Today, I decided to take care of the stack of loan papers that arrived about a week ago. And I immediately thought, this is the stuff that blogs are made of, discussions of financial matters. Anywho, the point is, in the process of tackling this indescribably frustrating and boring task of figuring out what the eff all those papers said, I discovered two things. 1) I incrued well over $1000 interest on student loans this year (and by using skills gained in grad school, I have deduced that this will probably happen every year until I make a substantial dent in the debt), and 2) some agency in Vermont wants me to start making payments November 1st, which, as of a little over an hour ago, is tomorrow. Oops on the second one, damn the man on the first.
This is happy news on top of the fact that today I added $200 to my already sufficient credit card debt to purchase 8 months of hormonal contraceptives, and my dad recently started a pleasant conversation with "Let's take a look at how much money you owe me."
Apparently some people just ignore there student loan payments all together, but I'm just too afraid of getting in trouble for that kind of behavior. Lame, yes. But who knows, maybe some day I'll want to buy a stupid house or something. So if anyone has any ins on insider trading possibilities or get rich quick schemes, please let me know. I'm sure the solution to this problem lies in listening to 10 hours of Donald Trump on cassette tape. It has to be that simple.

Well, the Donald was the son of a wealthy New York real estate developer. I'm guessing it might be a little too late for you to head down that route.
But if you bought 8 months of hormonal contraceptives, then I think there might be some exciting stuff going on that you're leaving off the blog :-)
Ha ha. One can only hope. Unfortunately, those are medically prescribed for reasons not of the fun sort.
