Panic sets in...

I'm now behind in my Kaplan class and my Organic Chemistry class.  Only about two or three hours behind in O Chem homework, but likely about 10 to 15 hours behind in Kaplan.  Aargh!

Also incredibly broke.  I'm making less money with my part time job than I did on unemployment.  I can't afford to pay my bills.  I still can't find a second part-time job or a full time job, and, even if I did, how will I find the time to work it?

I had my bills paid down before losing my last job, and now they're all back up again...and my FICOscore is going down.  This can affect my chances of getting a student loan.  I was also told by the Financial Wizards at the medical schools that I won't be able to afford old bills while living on a student loan during medical school, so I need to get those paid off.

Here's my quandary: if I take off the years I would need at my current rate of income, I'll be in my seventies before graduating from medical school. If I continue as I am, I'll have a horrible FICO score and I won't be able to actually get any student loans. If I find a job that pays more and can actually go there, then maybe I can graduate from medical school in my early sixties.  If I claim bankruptcy, I'll be ineligible for student loans.

So, what I need is one of the following:

  • winning the lotto
  • setting up a Kickstarter account and actually reaching my goal
  • finding someone who will give me a quiet personal loan that I won't have to begin to pay off until after I complete medical school (in five years or so if all goes well)
  • a miracle
Any other ideas out there??

Sigh.  Guess I'll get back to my O Chem homework now...
