Sabrina’s Money Madness

Oh boy, that was not a good phone call, especially since it came from the Department of Education. Actually it came from a collection agency contracted by the dept but whatever.
When we got down to the nitty gritty details, it seems like my payments haven’t posted to my account since August of 2011. My bill […]

I’m not even in school anymore. I went to take a civil service exam this morning and that test was crazy hard. While I did understand the contents of the questions, some of them were extremely vague and out of left field. I don’t even think I could have done any better had I just […]

My house savings account was finally opened about a week and a half ago. However I do have options as to what to actually do with the money. Right now it’s designated to go towards the down payment and closing costs of my new home. But I may decide to put the money towards something […]

One of my coworkers went to one of those fly by night schools that most managers don’t take seriously. When she tells people that she went there, they usually just laugh at her. She did have really good grades though, her gpa was close to 3.95.
After her 3rd year, she decided that she wanted to […]

Since I’ve finally graduated I can officially call myself an alum of my school. It still feels weird to say. I guess it’s been such a long time coming that I just want to keep hearing it over and over again. Now I have to decide how much I want to support my alma mater. […]

This one is not for degree purposes though, it’s for personal growth. Actually it’s for a potential future career move. I love to write and I’m pretty good at it. I want to take some classes to hone my craft and see if I’m able to write professionally.
I’m not looking forward to paying tuition or […]

Let me tell you, it feels great! I made my last payment on Wednesday morning. It’s not only the last payment for this semester, it’s my last payment period. Forever. Ok well maybe not forever but this degree that I’m currently working on is paid for.
Now all I have to do is pass both of […]

I thought I was through with this but I guess not. My last tuition payment is due today. I did make a small payment yesterday but I still have a nice size balance. I don’t have the money to pay the balance today and I don’t get paid until Thursday.
Soooo what to do? I’m gonna pay […]

As if I ever had it. I tell ya, I can’t wait for this semester to be over. I hate my theory class so much. I know that teacher thinks I’m a airhead. I had to post my class notes online but I had never used the system. I went to the teachers office for […]

Whoa, no not me. There are several students at Pitt who are facing dismissal though. After the Super Bowl people went crazy around the University. They burned couches (not bad) then they really lost it. They broke windows in local businesses and totally destroyed a bus shelter. I still don’t know how they did that.
Now […]

Blech! I have a ton of homework to do this weekend. I have multiple movies and papers to write. I also have a poem to read and a chapter in another book. I’ll probably go to the library today to write my papers. It’s quiet there so I should be able to concentrate. Luckily I have […]

I break my tuition into 3 payments to make it easier to manage. I paid my second payment this morning. My next payment is due in 27 days. This will be the hardest payment to make. Unless something amazing happens within the next month, I’m $500 short on my payment. I’ll probably use my credit […]
