so now I have submitted another form to Sallie Mae for an economic hardship deferment on my student loans. we shall see if this one goes through...it does have a nice catch. one of the eligibility requirements is that you need to be under another hardship deferment to qualify....now, since all my student loans have been sold to Sallie Mae, this might make it difficult (how can someone else grant me the deferment if all my loans are under Sallie Mae?). the other is the requirement of working 30 hours a week....if I had a full-time job, wouldn't it be easier to pay things back?



such is our government...but that can't take away from the awesomeness of seeing Dream Theater on Friday AND the FREE meet and greet with a minimal of their GODLIKE guitarist John Petrucci!

here's proof (a Petrucci guitar solo)
