I hate the Fed
I hate the Feds right now because they are raising the interest rate of financial aid in July 1st. And since school doesn't start for me until Aug, I am subject to that change! I called the Financial Aid Office just now and the lady tells me that she heard the rate between 3% to 5.5%! Yikes.... But I guess it doesn't matter, I still have to take out Financial Aid no matter what, unless the rate went around 8%, then I will take out alteranative loan from certain relatives then...

i know!! financial aid sucks but if you need it you have to take it!!! i am terrible with money so i dont even really know whatsup!
but you know what, dont worry about it-- consolidate the loans after you get out-- with the money you will eventually be making, take all the money they give you.
Well, with all the money, I am still $4500 short, so I need to take out alternative loan, I don't even know what's that!
anyway, like you says, I will just consolidate when I get out, so much to stress about....
oh yeah, maybe you should try to lock in the rate you have right now for next year since the Feds are raising the rate on 7/1/2005
i hate money stuff!! i always receive these lock-in rates stuff in the mail? are they reliable? what company do you recommend? how do i do that?
I am not sure, maybe financial aid can recommend a company to do it with? or maybe through your lender?

are you going to buy it? maybe we should split the cost? hmmm, definetly should check if we can find it online first though :)
i was looking thru kaplan.. it had that book listed under supplement material i think...
I wonder if they have that book available at the local library???
were u able to find it in the library? i tried to serach for it here. but no luck..
i found it on amazon.. but dunno why the listing price is a lot higher than what they are selling at kaplan..
got it... amazon has the new version for the 2003-2005 for $47.. the kaplan one is the outdated 2001-2003 one.. that is why the price difference..
correction amazon sells 2003-2005 one for $40.. i was reading the wrong page.. oopsy! if u wanna get it.. i will split that cost with u.. write a bigger check to u :P
