OK, everyone heads up on recent events. The last quarter ended about a week ago (two A's and a C thank you) and I still hadn't heard back from financial aid on whether my appeal was approved or not. So I've been wrestling with exactly how I was going to continue my education if I wasn't going to be getting financial aide, and if I did get approved but too lat to sign up for the spring quarter would that effect me getting money in the future and fun life issues like that. It's been kind of sucking up a lot of my time.

THEN! On the third of this month, I got the email from financial aid saying I was approved! Yay! Registration ends the 7th for the spring quarter and I found out on the 3rd that I was actually approved. Three days! Register for classes! "Here's your loan money you have to pay back whether you use it this quarter or not. Go! Oh, one of the classes you have to take this quarter because EVERYTHING requires it and is really hard is only available online because the normal class is full because we made you wait until THREE DAYS before registration ended to sign up for classes and you can't chance the weight list because if you don't get in and didn't sign up for a different class then you're not full time and if you did sign up for another class AND get into this one you're stuck in the same boat that made you drop the class last quarter. ¬_¬ Oh, accept now that you're on this "probationary" status because we feel like penalizing people for wanting to get two degrees - not two degrees using financial aid, just two degrees in general - if you drop a class that you registered for it could mean you no longer get financial aid every again!

Man, I love college.

Plus side to all of this is I am continuing with classes but I'm only taking thirteen credit hours instead of 18 this quarter and none of them are at "too fucking early in the morning" o'clock. So, I'm hopeful that I'm going to be able to do art on a more regular basis and get that incredibly over due couch done for all of you.
