Uhh you should never liquidate a retirement fund for short-term debt. That's what stupid people do. Keeping that money in the TSP is infinitely smarter than what you're about to do with it.

I guess you can take the enlisted out of the Army, but you can't take the Army out of the enlisted.

I realize what the smart thing to do is, but considering it's not my only retirement plan I am ok.

Their personal loan rates are terrible anyway. You'll get much better rates on lines of credit or personal loans from a local credit union.

So I passed my last class at my old college, so I officially am eligible to get my AA. I passed with a godddamn 62 on it. I couldn't handle taking two classes while all my poo poo was going on. Like going to 2 colleges at once while still in the military and just having moved. It still. I feel accomplished!

I also am realizing that this poo poo is a lot harder than I was giving it credit for. Really hard at times. Design and Italian are the worst right now but I am enjoying this experience. Design is insane because I had to really change my way of thinking in the class but turned it around from doing D+ work to routinely getting B-A grades. Like, design can be art, but not all art is design.

This is something we just had to do as a group project. I won't say which part is mine but I've always tried to think outside the box in terms of presentation and being able to express that is pretty cool.

The prompt was "unfinished business."

What we had to do was cut a Bristol paper in two and then it was up to us to figure out how to use it. The only rules were that the papers had to touch, and you could only use certain materials. I came up with general shape and they modified it. So, we came down to taping the shape down so the gauche wouldn't warp the paper. It also weighted it down so we could all work on it all at once. If you zoom you can actually see a little more detail, some of the shapes and stuff bleed over to different papers. Thanks though. It's about 2 hours of work! After we got the shape down, we kinda agreed that we should do our own thing and bring it together via the way the direction is supposed to take you. So that's why we left the center white, to make sure that it all blends in and we have a base to start out from.

my bit is the black and green squares at the bottom. My style is weird but the teacher and class dig it, and she's helping me kind of tap into it and let it happen. I'm always looking at the medium, how you view it as opposed to what you view. She says it's 'emotionally charged abstract,' and 'unique and unusual.' I double checked and it apparently wasn't a "your poo poo sucks" statement and a "students normally don't draw like this" thing.

I made this for my 2D Design class. The prompt was to have a five-panel series that goes from disorder to order. I talked about my idea with my teacher of going from disorder to order to disorder again with the idea of order being a penis that ejaculates and creates a new cycle of disorder.

Once, every August. It should be ~5500/yr, split into however many billing periods are at your school. Typically it's two; Fall and Spring semesters.

Aside from whatever registration process you have to do next semester, no. You typically only deal with financial poo poo once a year.

What was the rationale behind the Pell grant changes for 2017-18? I'll be interning next summer earning a hefty paycheck so I will no longer technically be a penniless hobo taxable income-wise which may affect my grants... but if I can use my 2015 returns.... :nsa:

Of all the groups I've been in here most of them have been pretty good. The one exception would be a German class last year where the other two guys bailed out and were never seen again, but we made it work with two people.

This time around I'm in two groups that suck. The first one has two guys who don't like to show up for class, and one of them likes to derail class for political arguments. The other group has two dysfunctional alcoholics. One of them doesn't doesn't make it to class very often. The other one told a delightful story about how she blacked out (Not the only time), and was relieved that the door was still bolted so she knew she hadn't been raped. Neither of them is willing to work on group projects on the weekend either. Can't wait for this semester to be over.

:j: "I've told the class that you should be reading ahead in the book and preparing, you can come to office hours or use the tutoring services available."
:commissar: "So what you're saying is that we're responsible for material that you haven't covered because...?"

I can't do Ambien.

The sleeping pill they gave me was some Hydro whatever. It works, takes a bit to kick in but it works. It's an anti-histaime or whatever.


No, Ambien makes me do things in my sleep. I don't want to chase the walrus anymore.
