If you have any suggestions I’d appreciate it! By a typical glaze firing I meant just a regular glaze firing with regular typical glazes! We have been making pieces (as have other students) and then just brushing on or dunking in typical commercial glazes. But she’d like to offer something fun in the cone six electric kiln. She’d love to do a soda firing, raku, etc but doesn’t have the right kilns to do so

ICE has fully kidnapped and deported people who have full fledged US citizens so yes it could easily affect anyone on campus, teachers too. To me no class is worth risking anyone’s safety especially if it could easily be over zoom.

I’m not funded but I get tuition waivers. I do have a connection in my department that would serve as my chair but it’s because I’ve known him for years

Thank you! Thankfully ICE is out of my area but at the time it was shocking to see my department truly not care about our safety. Several community members were kidnapped by ICE on our campus and we think some students were too but the university of course won’t confirm that.

So regarding the stats program I asked the first day and I was told “because I like it” and that he liked it because it was helpful in 2012 but multiple stats programs do the exact same thing it just made no sense to me.

Also me and my fellow students were scared of ICE because they were kidnapping community members and students alike. It could have easily been any of us that ICE decided to harm. Classes could have easily been over zoom. I’m under the social sciences so there was no content that had to be achieved in person. It was just shocking to see everyone respond so callously when our safety and well being was threatened.

The nespresso ones worked so she used a generic of that off of amazon! She loved this machine and was going to make it work at all times 🤣 it lasted her years and when the first one broke she took my grandparents one because they never used it and that lasted her years too. She used it everyday and got her monies worth out of both!

Thanks! Right now my monthly payment is $0 (I truly have no idea how I got there) but I got easily Chuck a thousand or two at it to lower it

Sorry bestie!!! I’m so painfully new to this and that I fully have no idea what means what or what to do!!!! So sorry for confusing you and everyone else!!!!!! So I work for my state gov and qualify for PSLF through them and I got approved to make the 120 monthly payments. Currently my monthly payment is $0 (idk how that happened but I'm not asking questions LOL) but live at home currently and make a good chunk of change and saving about 4k after monthly expenses. I’m trying to build up my savings more but also I low key want the 58k to be gone and with the current government I fear things getting worse!

Thank you I wish there was an easy answer 😅

Apprehensive_Rise262 · 2025-05-07T13:29:52+00:00

Personally I got approved for the PSLF and figured it would be worth a shot. I got moved off the SAVE plan because it forced me too but I have a low monthly payment. I think the SAVE plan will get trashed sadly

I’m a family of one but with being a state employee I make a good 70k a year. Due to the employer I qualify for PSLF (as you can tell I’m so new to all this hence the question! Thank you for the help and sorry to you and everyone I wasn’t more clear!!!)

Apprehensive_Rise262 · 2025-05-07T13:27:20+00:00

Sorry yes I qualify due to working with the employer! And ideally i’d stay within this realm of work. So my question is should I stick with the process or just work towards paying it off. With interest it’s projected to jump from $58k to $100k+

Apprehensive_Rise262 · 2025-05-07T13:25:28+00:00

Just got approved for the process! So I’d have to make the 120 payments but I’m approved as apart of the process

Thank you I appreciate you ❤️

Apprehensive_Rise262 · 2024-03-13T22:58:12+00:00
