September 2009 K-1 Visa Filers

So totally grumpy right now.

I started playing WoW as a way to irk Mathew. He doesn't like it. But he plays Aion like constantly, so as a way to make him grumpy I started playing the game he hated. LOL. Anyways, I get it, and then I do the trial for the second expansion and I really really love my Blood Elf. Well when I'm right in the middle of something it cuts me off and tells me to contact billing. I didn't even know my time ran out today on that expansion. Grrrsssss. Guess I'll have to buy it. Booh!

And it's sad that this phases me in the slightest because I was all set to hate it(but of course, stick it out until Mathew's head blew off, LOL), but then I slowly started to enjoy it.

Kayla your too funny

As you all know, my luck hasn't been too great for the past couple months, excluding the success w' the k-1 visa. I guess my streak of good luck just started! First I get that poster from my coworker w' those words that I love "always kiss me goodnight" then today I come home to a $700 check from school, the remainder of my financial aide from last semester. It's a shame that money can make someone so happy but God knows I had no clue where I'd get money from to go to Jamaica and he sent me this. May my blessings continue

Yay for financial aid money!!!

That used to be like Christmas for me when I was still getting it. Mom got a raise and I started making too much so now I get nadda. But all that money used to burn a hole in my pocket when I got it. I remember blowing 500 bucks on the Razor 2 (cell phone) the day it came out.

I wish I were still 18 and no bills. I'd blow money like it was going out of style. Now I freak out if I have to buy gas.

Well.. things may have changed since I had financial aid, but it used to be that once you turned 24 you were considered "independent" even if you lived with your parents.. and THEN.. they gave you even more money.

My advice to anyone who will listen. DON'T TAKE IT. Take only what you absolutely need.. don't buy $500 razor phones.. or ( in my case) go on an insane shopping spree for clothes because guess what.. You have to pay that back some day. Oh, and if you go through an exit interview at your university where they tell you that financial aid payments will be between $50-$100 a month don't believe it.. and then when your first bill comes in at $350 ( and you are unemployed because hey, you just graduated).. send the bill to the exit interview person who told you to expect $50 - $100..

and then.. if you do take all the money they give you ( sometimes $2k to $3k a semester more than you actually need).. what you should NOT do if you can't afford to pay the bill is take a deferment. That interest really adds up and by the time you actually get a good job that will allow you to actually be able to make those loan payments... and still buy food and put a roof over your head...well, by that time you owe twice what you actually borrowed and will be lucky to have it paid off 20 years after you are out of school...

Oh.. but I digress..

Just wanted to say hello to everyone and check to see if there was any news from A & D

[brightskte 18]

Oooo, I don't take out student loans. I've taken out maybe two and was only for what I needed.

What I was referring to, and what I think Krystle was referring to was grants. That stuff you don't have to pay back.

Anyone else watching the State of the Union?

[kjenkins86 5]

Yea I was referring to grants. Haven't taken a student loan and don't think I will because of bad credit. When I graduate in May I don't evenknow when I'm gonna go to a 4 year to get my bachelor. So far I'm proud to have an associates & a certificate because I'm the first in my family to graduate high school and thus the first to even attend college.

Anyhow, everyone have a great day and don't forget:

Kenyth and I both play WoW and Aion!!!...Mostly just Aion now though Lol...what server?!

I played video games with this guy for years, he went off to boot camp - he was in the marines for awhile and came to visit me in Canada last year. He had this marine friend transfer WoW servers to ours, introduced me to him... it was Kenyth and that is how we first met. On Laughing Skull from a mutual friend. lol

Oh ..we're dorks =( lol

[brightskte 18]

I'm not sure what server he's on in Aion, but as soon as I find out I'll blow it up! I tried playing it with him for a while, but something about this computer it doesn't like and wont run it without being laggy. I like the game and all, I just can't play it. Maybe when I buy a new computer I'll be able to and wont be so grrrrr.

I just recently started playing WoW like maybe a month ago. I picked my server based on what I thought was the coolest name, lol. Zangamarsh(sp) is what I'm on. But I've got characters on other servers. I've been trying to find the server with the least amount of stupid kids on it.

Mathew and I are dorks too. LOL

I was given a bit more than I needed, probably 2000$ more. I did spend it, and I do kick myself for it, I have 1000$ left to pay on my student loan. Would have been gone by now..lol. Thankfully it's like 7% interest so it's not too painful... but with the rest of the debt, quite a bit my ex husband left me with...it's a pain.

theres stupid kids on every server lmao.

We were mainly on Laughing Skull - leeeeeroy jenkins. His name is Kenyth (yes, he used his real name for his character..lol) ..mine is Oobatnep .. When I'm alliance my name is pentaboo.

Aion is very detailed graphic wise, you can down all the settings but you'd probably still lag a bit (I know I do lol), I need a new computer too. Any new games come out and mine won't be compatible anymore.

Well, the more I hear about these games the more I start thinking I am the dork because I have never played them Haven't ever even touched a Wii, Gamebox, Playstation.. my sister was really into a lot of these online games.... one of these days I will have to give it a try.

Anxiously watching the Turkish forum today. One of them had their interview today and waiting to hear the outcome. It seems Ankara has been handing out AP to majority of the males. Not the females though. Waiting to hear what happened and if they ended up getting AP. The petitioner lived in the US for 22 years, and has been with the USC for a while.. if they get put in AP I am going to really stress. If we get put in AP I don't know what I'll do That would add another 4-6 months wait.. and time is not exactly on our side with a lot of things.

I really hope they have good news!

We're heading into another weekend with a snow storm. Strange for Virginia.. but I am leaving for Michigan tomorrow, so I guess I will miss it. Of course, I am going somewhere even colder with MORE snow.. so maybe I would be better off if I just stayed here

[Maggie_Kenyth 1]

I finally started getting Kenyth to order our wedding stuff...

I think we're going with the purple and silver interlocked double heart theme...

I'm starting to think I'm too simple though, idk... even our cake I want plain square, white frosting, sharp cornered, layer sitting on layer with just a purple frosting band around the base of each layer. Our topper on top, is a glass heart with engraved interlocking hearts and our names. No flowers. No design.

The other side too is .. it can be rather frustrating trying to design and plain things I am not even in the same country as.

Thankfully Kenyth is doing a lot and having a lot of input and help.

They'll have good news, and don't you worry... It will work out for you both .. I just know that you will get approved and there will be no more waiting. Let us know the results though of that person, because if it does make you stress at their result, we'll be here to help!

[brightskte 18]

Consider yourself luckie, Maggie! I can't get Mathew to say anything other than "whats the flavor of the cake?". Child loves cake. When his metabolism catches up to him I'll have to roll him around every where we go.

Our wedding colors are Pink, Purple and Silver. So maybe we haven't even used the silver yet, but darnit I like it!

The only thing I really have to do before our wedding is get my girls on the ball for their dresses, do the flowers, order invitations and place the catering order. And buy toasting flutes. Being a planner personality has paid off well. Well, that, and my amazing luck with Wedding Star.
