Nov. 19th, 2009 11:43 amUgh. I just made my first student loan payment a moment ago. Since I only work part-time and don't make enough to afford the monthly payments, I've applied for hardship deferment. I meet the requirements, but it hasn't gone through yet in time to avoid the first payment deadline. I hate that I have loans... that my net worth is in the negatives... and most of all that I'll likely have to go deeper in dept for grad school. Needs must I suppose, but still. Money, or rather, the lack of it, is stupid.
On the bright side, GETTYSBUUUURRRRGGG!
We leave disgustingly early tomorrow morning. I'm meeting Katie at her apartment at 6:30(am), and driving to Mason to pick up Mike at 8 and then it's straight on out to Pennsylvania.
I'm nearly ready with everything. Just have to whip up a collar for my day dress and trim the paletot cuffs, but aside from that I think I'm set. It would be nice to have been super-motivated and have a new day dress for the occasion, but I've only worn the Not-Cold Mountain dress twice before so it hasn't yet acquired the "this old thing" status.
Speaking of new day dresses, I don't know when I'll get around to making it, but the blue dress from this 1860 fashion plate is totally going to be my next Civil War project. I pretty much love everything about it, but it's the neckline that has truly stolen my heart. I never like things up close to my neck, and while I tolerate jewel necklines, I don't like them. This, on the other hand, this is perfection. Perfection in blue.
