		<description>There's no way you can take out loans plus regular financial aid to get in? Have you talked to anyone at Michigan? I know I had to take out a FEW stafford loans but since we're low income I managed to do alright but I know how long and hard you've worked to get to where you are. Don't give up until you've exhausted EVERY possible avenue for options. 

As for Alan, I understand. Sometimes you just want that shoulder to lean on and him to tell you it's going to be OK and like you said, support you. That's what your boyfriend is supposed to do. *hugs* I'm sure he doesn't mean anything by it but if you haven't already, explain to him how it makes you feel when he does that kind of stuff. 

*tons of hugs again* Things will work out, they will. Just keep trying even if it feels like you have no fight in you left, there's a little there somewhere you just have to seek it out.</description>
