Have you ever found yourself in a situation where if you took on another class you would be given about 600 dollars more for going to school? This is the current predicament I find myself in. Why is it that a class that makes you work from 7-4 Monday through Friday only worth 10 credit hours? By my calculations I'm going to be putting at least 4 times as many hours... So, why not just take on two more credit hours you ask? Here is the second part of the problem...only in certain, dire, situations will the school allow someone to take on another class while they are student teaching. Because I have already fulfilled all requirements I don't fit into this category. So, my scholarship and pell grant are being prorated to cover only 10 credits worth. I'm okay with them prorating the scholarship, because if I took on another class the extra money would go towards that. However, prorating the pell grant is what's costing me 600 big ones. The crummy part of this is I'm doing my student teaching in Blackfoot...it's an hour away. I love the school, but gas alone is going to run about $500-600 depending on gas prices.
Anyway, I'm not trying to be a complainer...although all that was basically a complaint.

Ummm I think I understand....I hate it when what seems sensible.....doesn't make sense to the people with the checkbook...but knowing you...everything will work out.
Man that sucks! I hate when they do that. Good luck in blackfoot! What are you teaching? My brother in law is a teacher at the high school there. He's awesome so let me know if you'll be there or not. :)
Suzi,
I wish I could help you my friend
