Woo-hoo! I get to keep the 5k cloud of debt I got for dropping out freshman year hanging over my head! Another victory for the free world!

5k? Are you forgetting to pay fealty to your Lords with interest?

Well yuo see I have been unemployed every time I've had to reaffirm yearly my commitment to "repaying" the loan... quotation marks because college did not actually cost that much, it's just a nonsense number they pulled out of thin air to pad their fucking fossil fuel investment portfolios but whatever.

Regardless, being unemployed when I re-up as it were allows me to get away without any interest. How kind. Unfortunately I have a job now, so we'll see how it goes.
