I just got off the phone with the financial aid office and found out that there's a $2800 check waiting for me.  So I'm not, in fact, a couple grand short of what I'll need like I had been thinking.  Ok, I think I can breathe again now...

Shit.  Shit ( Read more... )

I totally love snow, and am overall super-excited that it's here.  It's gorgeous!  But there is sadly a downside.  The primary one being that they shut off all the hot water in the building yesterday to do some sort of repairs to the pipes and OF COURSE didn't get it finished.  And it'll be tomorrow before the damn repairmen come back...

I've accumulated some really cool new stuff lately.  Probably the most technical is my new cell phone.  I got on a family plan with mom, Kevin, & Allen.  Allen & I got the new Samsung SYNC - one of the super-snazzy ones that has music capabilities.  It also has a 2 megapixel camera, which is the same as Allen's first digital camera.  Technology is ( Read more... )

It's snowing!  Weird, but still awesome.  I don't expect it to last long, but I still LOVE it!  Started out as big hail and then all the sudden there's big flakes coming from the sky.  They're big wet flakes and are sticking to everything but the road.  I <3 the snow!!!

I knew it was coming.  That time when there are but a few days left in the semester when all your classes convene in a grand scheme to make everything due all at once and to ensure that you have no life.  Ok, I'll admit that this is the easiest end-of-semester I've had in a long time.  I took 8 credits this semester (6 is full time) but 3 of those ( Read more... )

So I found the one.  Put a deposit down on my very own apartment today ( Read more... )
