SCAD projects

Here's some pix of things I've been doing at SCAD...just to prove I do have a few creative bones in my body!! (Even if they don't all seem to work properly!)

SCAD

Well, I'm down here in GA! SCAD is amazing, as I would have hoped, however I just got an email from the lovely FAFSA people saying that since I already have a degree, two actually, that I no longer qualify for federal aid...that includes loans. SOO, now, after having moved my entire life to GA - mom, dogs, and all - I will not be able to go to school anymore because there is NO way I can pay for it. 
In addition to that lovely piece of news I also cannot find a job. The most valid reason for that is because the the aforementioned degrees and my having only applied to retail jobs that monkeys could do. Obviously I do not consider myself overqualified for the job since I, being of a sound mind, APPLIED FOR THE JOB! The ones I would consider to be beneath me I have not yet applied for, but am now am thinking about (to the detriment of my sanity). 
Lastly, my baby girl, Kassidy, is on her last leg. (NOT literally, for those of you who know that she's been licking at one of them for a few years now.) For the past week she's hardly been able to keep her food down, and she's been lethargic. We've had to make her go outside, and then down the stairs. She has a hard time getting and waking up. She's also listing her head to one side and bumping into things. We are at our wit's end trying to help her and figure out whats wrong. We've tried splitting her food up and giving her a little at a time throughout the day; yesterday it didn't work so well, but so far so good today! The last thing I need to think about with everything else that's going on is having to put my dog down for her own good...I can barely even type it, let alone say it aloud or do it. 
If anyone is actually reading this, I'm sorry for assailing your eyes and mind with such whinnery, but please keep me in your thoughts. W(h)ine cannot be my sole source of comfort!
