Life is good: Just found out I do not qualify for tuition aid
AND did not do well on writing essay part of assessment test either....weird for someone who has been published but I do not do well taking tests.

Anyhoo...I can either drink over it or blow my or someone else's head off...lol. Guess I will scout around for some birthers to torment.

1. Do you plan on pursuing this without the aid?

2. Can't afford it.
My credit is not that great because I filed bankruptcy 3 years ago and one company refuses to be removed from my credit report.

5. Can you cut back on the number of classes?
Go part time?

Search for Grant monies?

Other avenues for financial aid?

10. I won't.
I have to process it....humility is harder to obtain than admitting failure.

7. I'm sure they were looking fore a very specific essay structure
that gets pounded into high school students. You could right fabulously well, but if you don't write in that specific essay structure you won't get marked well. :(

We all know you can write well. They want to know how well you can follow rules.

17. I must have missed other posts about this, Graywarrior...
I'm sorry about the tuition aid...That sucks!

Honestly, I'm not surprised that you did not do well on the assessment test essay, for two reasons.

First, you are a published writer. You have developed your own style; and as renowned authors have demonstrated countless times, personal style is not always copacetic with academia.

Second, it was a test. It seems like most tests these days are poorly devised and poorly written.

I'm not sure what you're going for, Graywarrior; but I DO know that you are an exceptionally intelligent, articulate woman. I'm certain that you can achieve whatever you wish. :hug::hug::hug:
