Background story: I have to take time from school, one calendar year, for some issues that's going on. It's already cleared with my school. I'll be back for fall 2008. But, because I'm not technically enrolled, my grace period has ended. I'm being flooded with letters about my loans and my first payments are due shortly. I feel so trapped. I know I can make payments but this wall of debt is so huge that I feel panicked. It was like the moment I had finished speaking to my counselor the loan companies pounced, smelling blood. You should have seen the stack of mail waiting for me when I came home to visit the parents for Thanksgiving. I was originally saving to get my eyes fixed as they are really really bad. But I feel, perhaps without merit, that these payments will just suck me dry and I can kiss that surgery goodbye.
Thanks for letting me rant.![]()
