I'm not sure what this means for us who went to the Art Institute right now. At least someone is keeping it fresh in the news.

I keep watching for a class action suit to open for us. I would sign up for it.

For now I just keep plugging along. My latest update is that since I am not working my Sallie Mae loans are in forbearance. :( I'm not really happy about it but I would put myself further behind if I did not. Now to just make a few payments this summer to keep things up to date I guess.

I do have 2 loans with American Education? PNC personal loans. Those I am seeing some progress in the amount going lower. Its not much but at least something is happening there. I will continue to make those payments since those are less than the huge government loans.

I have started my ebay selling. Not so much a business but more like an online garage sale right now. When I make over 20.00 or more I send it into a bill that I owe on. This in addition to the monthly payment. I'm working on one bill now. Hope to get that caught up here in a month or so. Then onto the next one. Getting behind has not helped the situation any. So my goal is to catch up everyone and pay off bills by the end of the year. :)

Looking around my house I realize that it has been in a state of a mess and clutter for way too long. So I am cleaning out! I have to say it is a good exercise to see what you need and do not need. And having less clutter feels better also. I wonder how I can not focus on stuff much. Its because I live in a state of clutter and mess. Who can think that way. So stuff has been flying out the door.

Its not a perfect system here. I am doing what I can how ever I can to get out of this financial mess we are in. Life it too short to wallow in it. There is a whole lot of livin to do and having this student loan mess decide how I live my life will not do.

I think there is hope in the future that this may somehow become resolved for us who went to this school and got into this mess because we made a decision to better our lives. But now that I look back my life was not so bad to begin with. I wish I would of realized that then. But I went after a dream. It was just not the dream I was suppose to go after.
