End of Exams~ :dance:

YES >8D its all over~ I’m not sure that they all went brilliantly, but I didn’t feel terrible about any in particular xD though my last history exam was kinda stressful, especially when, after leaving, I became positive that I’d answered a question incorrectly ^^; Now that I think about it, I don’t think I did lol x3

Going back to normal timetable after this weekend though T_T And I really cant be bothered, unless its just for the sake of seeing my friends again xD but at least I get the rest of the week off! :D I'm gonna try and draw a little too, so keep an eye out for updates :)

I’d be in a much better mood though if I hadn’t just found out that, despite us being way below the limit of applying for EMA, I still don’t qualify for it. At all. Not even the minimum amount; I understand that they base it on what your parents earned last year, but my dad lost his job half way through the year, so we’re only about £30 over the EMA limit, and only because my mum did a lot of overtime after my dad lost his job...you’d think they’d take the current situation into account and give us at least the minimal amount ¬_¬

Right now I don’t know when I can next apply, or if it’s even worth doing. It’s put me in a very bad mood, so I’m going to be trying a lot harder to get a job again now... I’ve talked to some local shops and stuff about getting a job there over the summer, so I’m just hoping that they get in touch soon :fingerscrossed:

So to anyone who I talk to over the next few days, sorry if I seem a little depressed at times, I'll probably cheer up again soon :)

:hug:

If you write a letter to EMA explaining your current situation they will re-evaluate, so you should still be able to get it :)

The same happened when my parents broke up, I get maximum EMA because I'm living with my Mum, but we had to write in.

If you include whichever parent's income you're living on (ie. Mom's if your Dad lost his job) then they should be okay with it, or at least give you something.

Call 'em, anyway, I'm not really sure :'D ~
:iconblademaster57:
we've called them and they said no straight away xD but I'll definately try writing to them then :hug: thanks for the advice :)

Ah. That sucks, but yeah - try writing :3 and no problem ♥

I tried to get EMA but I was over it sucks ass because I go to lessons because I want to while alot of my friends go because they get payed. Another thing is that if you do get it they take forever to start paying you so you'll be back tracked loads my friend ended up beinging owed over 100 pounds

I'm going to try writing to them :) one of my friends has said that they got EMA by doing that. So I'm giving it a shot!

I certianly wouldnt go to lessons just to get paid, but EMA would really help in affording art supplies for my course, and going on the trips involved, which I wont be able to afford otherwise ^^;

I'm rellaying on my parents to pay for everything at the moment with my baby sitting not happening very often. they spent over 100 pounds just on textbooks this year and their paying for more next year. I have to work with £40 a month for anything else I need and I'm saving for alot of Cosplay things at the moment.

I'm relying on leftover birthday money xD and thats about it, my parents have stopped giving me the £30 a month they used to, so I'm not actually getting any money from them at all...
