Set Back...AGAIN!

Something about me and this town DO NOT mix.  I've been pretty quiet about my dislike of the state because I do not want to offend anyone or make anyone upset but I honestly CAN'T keep it to myself...I DO NOT LIKE ALABAMA!  Mobile to be exact.  For starters the sales tax is 10%...ARE YOU SERIOUS???  10% is a LARGE percentage to tack onto every single thing I buy, it frustrates me to death every time the cashier tells me my total.  I have to grocery shop at Winn Dixie...The words Winn Dixie say enough...it's GROSS!  The majority of the people in this town CAN NOT DRIVE...I can't count the number of times someone does something stupid in the car in this town and I KNOW I can't drive so it's pretty hard to be WORSE than me.  So the most frustrating thing is...getting into Nursing School has been one of the most DIFFICULT tasks ever.  I still have NO answer on if I start the program in January but "I will know by Thanksgiving"...why it takes them THAT long to figure out this is beyond me.  So when I received a lovely letter in the mail today from this "wonderful" Nursing School stating I COULD NOT RECEIVE FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID because I have a Bachelor's Degree already...I want to drive over to the Ghetto Nursing School and punch them in the face...Ok maybe not something THAT drastic but I am SO irritated.  My so called Bachelor's Degree is getting me NO WHERE and key word..."Federal" Financial Aid...It is NOT the schools money so WHY do you care if I add another loan to my growing tab of debt!  I have no clue how they want me to pay for Nursing School...I'm obviously NOT rich nor do I come from a wealthy family.  I am going BACK to school so I can have the money to one day have money to send MY children to college thus I need a loan NOW so they don't have to have one later.  Thanks for giving me yet another reason to seriously DISLIKE this state.  I just hope that this "visit" through this great state is SHORT and by short I mean PLEASE let us move in the next 2 years...I refuse to give birth to children in this state because I would NEVER want them to have to say Birthplace = Alabama...I myself will not become a resident, I will proudly keep my Florida Tag and License!  Sorry to anyone I offended...No hard feelings, just wish I lived in a decent state with NORMAL schools, people, and grocery stores! 

On a slightly different note...I know I've matured...I was going to write "I hate Alabama" in my facebook status and I realized that negative statuses only make you look dumb.  I have quite a few FB Friends who I know I should defriend bc EVERY status is negative and it gets under my skin.  I was one of those depressing "look at me" status writers once upon a time...I now know I appeared "Immature" and NOBODY cared/cares about your ever changing moods ;)  OK I am obviously GRUMPY so I am going to get back to telling Lola she's pretty or something!
