So, I was thinking that I should update about what's going on in my life, for those two people who want to know what's going on.
Currently, I am attending two classes at Portland Community College: physics and studio recording.
Last term, I failed one of my classes. It was really stupid, but I just couldn't do it. Should of been able to, but I was too far gone. Stresses from a billion different sources made even the smallest thing impossible. What I really needed was a break to deal with everything, breathe, and then I could go about finishing up my classes. But break didn't come until after the term...
So, I lost my financial aid. And, well, I have none of tha monies, and I'm a big loser. But I can appeal and explain what went wrong that term and hopefully get my aid reinstated. Usually to do this, you have to have some form of documentation.
Well, the main reason really was the Kelli situation. She was sick; and we broke up; and I just couldn't focus or think. Of course, she doesn't want to be used as an excuse. So, she has decided to not provide any documentation of her being sick.
I filled out my appeal, minus documentation, and dropped it off on Friday (I had the death-flu illness for a week), but they probably just received it today. It's supposed to take up to ten days for them to review it. I just hope that it goes through (I don't really have any other documentation). Without financial aid, I can't afford school (or currently, eating). I may just be taking my classes, getting the grades, and not getting the credits until I pay up.
Financial aid was dispersed last Wednesday. So, I don't know how long after my appeal is accepted (if it is accepted) before I can pick up the money. I'd assume right away. Anyhoo, I have enough for February's rent. That's about it.
And you ask, "why don't you get yourself a jobby job?" Well, that'd be the next part of the story.
In March I will be returning to Salt Lake City, Utah to take up residency with Mark and Jason (painamplifier for those keeping track) and to attend massage school for a year. I am really excited about the school because the curriculum contains many, many things that I've been interested in learning. And, well, I've been interested in getting something musical going with some of them folks there. Basically by the time I get anything job-wise (which has been difficult) here and paycheck-wise, I will be gone.
To pull this off, I need a larger sum of money (like the financial aid check I normally get). So I may be selling lots of stuff, which I'm not too crazy about. And also, I feel like I'm going crazy, off the fuckin' deep end. Don't think it's ever been this bad. But I'll be alright; always am. Just need something different.
I guess it's the waiting game now. They'll let me know if they need documentation from me when they review my case.
That's about it. Carry on.
