If you get government backed student loans, they have to go toward certain things. I know plenty of people who get private student loans, especially for grad school and completely live on that money (or that money plus child support from ex-husbands, etc). You rack up an awful lot in loans that way though. With some private loans, they just send you a check.
There are some people that I wish the media would stop giving attention to. (I ended that in a preposition, I know). This is one of them. Kwame Kilpatrick is another. Now that he's out of jail, our local news folks are following him around everywhere and reporting on his activities... getting out of jail, parked at his house waiting for him to leave for the airport to go to Dallas for a job interview, in Dallas, at the airport when he got back. Stop giving these people attention! They thrive on it and it only encourages them, I think. I think it also encourages others to do stupid crap to get their 15 minutes of fame. I can't help but wonder if this woman watches Jon & Kate or the Duggars and thought she was going to be like them and get a TV show, etc. Sick, sick, sick! I decided not to watch any interviews with this woman for that reason.
