After I screwed up during the fall semester of 2008, I had to retake two courses in the spring.  We all know what happens when we fail college courses-summer school.  So I made plans to attend summer school, but I got a letter today stating the only way for me to attend summer school is to take out an alternative loan because all of my aid has been taken for the upcoming fall and spring semesters. 

I cannot take out an alternative loan because of my credit, and the way the economy is going I don't think there are any lenders right now.  Besides no one's cosigining, but that's cool.  I can wait to catch up.  I made the dean's list and I'm happy.  My big thing now is that I have a long summer with nothing to do.  I don't have a car and this town is so small that jobs are few.  So what do I do?  My mom wants me to go through with this disability hearing.  I don't want to!  I don't want to spend the rest of my life living off the govt.  I am a self sufficent woman.  I try to be anyway.  So now I've got to think long and hard about putting together a plan for this summer and quick before the high school kids get out of school.  Any suggestions?
