Reply #47: Herp Derp....stalking my Mommy

I have to assume the above post was about me. *waves* Hi, Mom.

A little more detail: I just got laughed out of two different schools for trying to "do what I love" (anthropology) because I couldn't afford them, even with the full allotment of financial aid, grants, scholarships, etc. Neither were particularly expensive schools, either, and one was even rather cheap as far as US schools go. I've got a year, year and a half, of "what I love" under my belt-namely archaeology-but I just plain can't afford the classes at that particular school anymore, either. I've got two years trade/vo tech school for graphic design, too.

The other "what I loves" won't happen til I have either a bachelors or better (PeaceCorps) or good income(equine rescue).

I'm honest-to-noodly appendage shit at math and business-y things (dyscalculia, woot!) and OK-even-kinda-good with science, so long as it's a soft science-as soon as math is involved, my brain just kinda throws up it's hands and walks out the door in despair. I'm good with animals, and more than good at art, and none of it translates to having enough money to survive.
