El Loani Studenten

Since it seems almost unan­i­mous that inter­est rates are going to rise the next time the Feds get togeth­er I decid­ed to re-con­sol­i­date my stu­dent loans at a fixed rate instead of the vari­able it is cur­rent­ly run­ning on. Bor­ing stuff.

The upside of this is that my pay­ments will be half of what they are cur­rent­ly, and though I still plan on pay­ing more than even my cur­rent pay­ments, the small­er bill will give me a bit more flex­i­bil­i­ty in my spend­ing. So I’ll get that cred­it card paid off final­ly and be able to fork out cash to take class­es to get my teacher’s license. So I’m pret­ty sure this is a good move on my part. I seem to have fig­ured out all the lit­tle quirks that might end up shaft­ing me, and have pre­pared for them.

And now, since I’ve giv­en a futon away I can con­tin­ue my search for a din­ner table. I feel some­what lame in the fact that these things are excit­ing to me. Matu­ri­ty is lame I sup­pose. If I’m mature. I dun­no, I’m going to drink some wine with a friend tonight and we’re going to engage in drunk­en col­lege-esque the­o­rhet­i­cal expli­ca­tions. In the­o­ry. We might just end up eat­ing spaghet­ti and watch­ing PCU.

  1. Hey jmay, thanks, but trans­port and all that would prob­a­bly make it cheap­er to just pick one up around here. I kind of want to get a soda shop type table with high stools…

  2. Cur­rent­ly sit­ting in my garage is a din­er table–the chrome-legged, formica‑y top (mut­ed turquoise) (though it does­n’t acco­mo­date high stools). I res­cued it even though I already have two tables sim­i­lar to it. It needs a good home.

  3. she’s got legggggsssss, she knows how to use them. but, i have a pedestal table of the same sort with a gray/white top if that’s more your bag. i would swap and keep the turquoise table ‘cuz it’s cute.

  4. I am sus­pi­cious of your kind­ness. I sup­pose it can’t hurt to at least take a look though. Be warned that I will defend myself by scream­ing like a lit­tle girl and run­ning away flap­ping my hands if you so much as think about killing me.

  5. you got me. I fre­quent­ly lure unsus­pect­ing peo­ple to my home by offers of free fur­ni­ture. The last one (may he rest in peace) thought he was get­ting a nice armoire. (muhuhaaa.)

    but seri­ous­ly, I’m just always hap­py to find homes for stuff. I don’t like to see use­ful stuff thrown away (even if I can’t use it). And, no, my house is not an abscess of unused crap. (but any­one need blond, retro‑y tiered end tables? I got those to give away, too.)

    you can email me if you want to see the tables lest we waste pre­cious thread space. 🙂

  6. Lau­ren might want those end tables. She recent­ly pur­chased a blonde cor­ner hutch thinger. If you want to direct me to pic­tures of the tables or send ’em to me in an email that would be most excel­lent.

  7. Loan con­sol­i­da­tion can be a bitch. The best thing for me is pay about 1/3 of what I was but I dou­bled the pay­off time. Which means that I’m only sav­ing a small amount of mon­ey over the entire life of the loan, but the reduced pay­ments make a big dif­fer­ence. I think I might have a table for you realy cheap (free). I have to talk with the mrs., but my par­ents table replace our old one and the small table that we used to have is sit­ting unused in our kitchen.
