Can't Win for Losing

So I spent yesterday celebrating my grant until about 5pm. That's the time that i received an email from the financial aid office stating that although i had been approved for reimbursement for the purchaseo f a laptop, i was *not* approved for an increase to cover additional health care. That means no visits to the psychiatrist and no perscriptions... that's a very bad and scary thing for me. I'm appealing the response to my appeal now... hopefully it'll all work out

Grants

They are your friend... and i like friends...

That being said i just found out i have received a 10k need based grant... which is a good thing... because i really needed it. That will significantly reduce the amount of the loan that my brother cosigned for and i know that will help everyone in my family rest a bit easier.

*puts up feet*

Think any more of these things will roll in?

And now time to relax

I submitted my letter of resignation yesterday and i have secured an apt. My second loan has gone through and now there is nothing i can do but wait.

I'm really looking forward to school starting. I wish i had more info... a class schedule or something, but i guess i just need to be patient. The hardest thing about this whole process thus far has been the waiting. You have to wait to take the LSAT, wait for the results, wait to hear back from the schools... waiting is tiresome. So for now i will relax... until the next crisis surfaces.

Snail's Pace

All i can do now is wait. I feel like i should be preparing... and I probably will be going to get some books soon, but i feel like everything is at a standstill. I realized that i have never even seen the school i'm gonna be attending. I should probably do something about that in the near future.

The funniest thing about this whole turn of events is that I've never gone to a school that ppl had heard of. I mean Hampton is fairly well known among the black folks that i know, but American is like the first "real" school I've gone to. I'm sure it'll be an experience. I admit that i am a bit worried about the possible conflicts with my classmates of different socioeconomic backgrounds and ethnicities, but i've grown a lot over the past few months and i know i'm ready to handle it.

My last day at work is gonna be 7/16. I'm gonna use those 4 weeks to relax, get ready and prepare myself for the most rigorous 3 yrs of my life. I'm excited and terrified. I know i will do well... i'm just ready to start proving myself
