Special K Day 1

[norsegirl]

This is the last entry you'll see if you're not on the Special K filter...

Here's where I'm starting, as of this morning right after waking:

135.2 lbs
29 3/4" waist

For breakfast (late, didn't wake until noon):
1 serving Special K almond vanilla
some pineapple (fresh - yum)

Snacking now on carrots.

No idea what the plan is for dinner. Any suggestions?

In other news, today is tax day. I finished mine this afternoon. Jason has to pay but I'm getting a refund. Unfortunately the refund will take a while and we have to pay today. Net is refund. Wish they'd just let us net the pair of us - sigh. Have you filed your taxes yet? Midnight tonight folks, don't forget.

I believe that the maximum OSAP gave out in the years I was in school was a paltry $9,000. Even living at home I needed about $20,000 over the two years I was at Ivey. I can't imagine what it is like trying to do it on your own. And yes, once you are out of school and the interest kicks in, OSAP interest rates are scary. Probably to make up for the fact that so many students default. I'm paying prime+1 on my current bank loan, which is where I moved the OSAP loan immediately when the interest started being charged. The only good thing about OSAP is the fact that they don't charge you interest while you are in school. And that little tax break, which maybe makes up for the ridiculous rate they charge.

As for punishing us for getting an education... I still have education credits and haven't had to pay any taxes so I can't complain.

Ugh. No wonder you needed to get a bank loan!
You're right about them wanting to make up the money they've lost on defaulters- one of my coworkers is of the generation that nearly all of them did that (she didn't- they nearly hugged her when she came to pay)

Lucky you about the credits- mine ran out a year ago. It was nice when I had them!
