Huh

Posted by: typealice In: Daily| Gillian


I went to school in 2001 with a loan that paid the tuition to a shitty private college and my living expenses for that year. The education was some of the worst I’ve ever experienced, but it did take me to Africa, it did allow me to work in the Caribbean and I’m still taking on web development projects today.

And now I don’t owe anything. I hate to think of how much interest I paid in total, but at least I don’t have to worry about anything coming out of my bank account every month anymore. Huzzah!!!!!!!

That’s great! I’ve learned that education generally sucks in itself, and the important thing is where the education takes you.

As for me, I’ll be paying on my student loans until I retire….

About

I'm Gillian, a Nova Scotian woman with a son named Ash (born 09/07) and a wife to Clive. I am what they call an Attachment Parent; I breastfeed, wear my baby as much as possible, cosleep, cloth diaper and practice elimination communication. I have very strong parenting views. We are raising Ash as an organic vegetarian. I care about the environment and do what I can to reduce my carbon footprint and set a good example for others, especially my child.

I'm proudly drug free, but can't say that I have always been. My early 20s were comprised mostly of travelling- I've lived and worked everywhere from West Africa to the Caribbean. I currently run AP Mamas, a site dedicated to attachment parenting and G Slings, my sustainable sling company.
