Friday is my favorite day!!!

Isn't that a song? My dad used to sing it to me when I was a kid. Well this week Friday is my favorite day!! I get to take my dad out to dinner and celebrate that fact that he was dorne 59 years ago, and try really hard to not think about how old I will be this year... I also get to see Nate's family this weekend. I have decided that they don't get together as much as my family, and that makes me sad. I have also decided that I am tired of the weather. It has made me miss seeing my brother two times and I missed Christmas with my family and or Nate's family because of the weather!!! I am tired of the cold and snow, and I have only been in Idaho for two months. I miss the warm sun of Texas...
I figured out what was holding up the bank, and when my money will be off hold. It will hit my account this Friday!!! Yet, another reason to like Friday this week. I am also excited to make my dad's favorite, Lemon marrange pie for him. So happy Friday to all!!!

Things are getting better...

Things are getting better. I decided to drop out of school and get a job, and put me that much closer to getting out of debt. I am not sure how all this will work out, but I have faith that it will. I am still waiting on the bank to release my money.. it is still on "hold" I intend to find out what the deal is with all of that today!! Things with Nate are still going good. I am learning how to be in a relationship and to put him first..and he is patent with me, so that helps. We are growing more close with each day we get to spent together. We have talked about marriage, and are looking at August, but nothing is set in stone. I will keep you posted. Oh, and if any one knows where I can get a job, just let me know.

Money isn't everything is it??

So, lately, I have been a little stressed about money, and my lack there of!!! (to say the least) I don't have a job, I am in debt up to my ears, and I just started school. (with NO way to pay for it with out going more into debt!) So, finally, after much prayer, and faith that I am doing the right thing, my loans came in today!!!!! :) :) This is such a relief!!! I am going to have to budget a little more and maybe pick up a job, but I am pretty sure that I can make it on what they have given me. So just remember that prayers are answered, and that things will work out eventually when you are doing the best that you can.
School is going good. I have declared a major, and talked to an advisor. I am now officially an Elementary Ed. major, and that is a good thing. I am still trying to decide if I need to drop a photography class and add 2 more major requirements, but I am just not sure how to go about doing that... I will find out and let you know how things go. I am off to collect my money, and pay some bills!!!

First day of school! Didn't we do this once??

Today was my first day of college, again... I walked to my first class Physics. (I walked about a mile and a half to get there.) I was a little early, and so I sat down, and noticed that I was the only girl there.... Why am I the world's biggest nerd and why did I sign up for an 8 AM Physics class?!!? To my relief, there were more girls that showed, and I didn't have to be the only girl those poor geeky guys see first thing in the mourning.
I have decided that college is about waiting....and more waiting, and lines upon lines. I decided to figure out my financial aid stuff, and see if, or where my money is coming from. So, I found the financial aid people in the ball room, (who knows where that is!???) and waited for my paper that told them everything that they ("they" being anyone who sees that paper) need to know about me and my status as a student, mother's maiden name, blood type, and even if I have paid my taxes or tuition. So, the nice lady takes my paper and says, " You have been approved, and you should have money, I just am not sure what the hold up is..."
Thanks I say and she directs me to another nice lady, around the corner, and she runs down what a student loan is and when I have to repay it, and all the stuff I know. She was not too helpful. Then, I guess I payed my tuition, with money that is coming?!?!!!?????
I am then directed to get an ID. ... My picture looks like poop, and I really don't care. I am just wondering who around here gives a student discount??
So I am then directed to the financial aid office to have entrance counseling, and sign a master promissory note(MPN). Big words for you now owe someone A LOT of money and you must pay them when you are done with school!!!!!!!!! so, I go thought the entrance counseling, and it is basically the skinny on a loan, who is who, what the interest rates are, and then after an hour of reading, I have to now take a quiz and get at least 12/15, to pass, and sign my MPN!!!!???? Who comes up with this stuff?? So, Long story short, I passed, signed, and that is an hour of my life that I will never get back!
On to Spanish!!! So, I know everything that we covered today. Can I spell it? No, but I can sure remember that basic greetings. Who doesn't know that in Spanish? I then go to the book store, where it is more waiting, and lines. (Sigh.) I am done with my first day of school. I have home work, and It has taken me another almost 2 hours to figure out my e-mail, moodle, and how to get into all of it with 12 different user names and passwords....tomorrow I get to go to class, and hopefully not have to wait in any lines.
Rapid subject change... Nate and I are great!! We have had fun getting to know each other better, and spending more time with each other. I am settled into my new place, and working on getting into a routine with school. So, lets hope that I can find the money to live on and stay in school, because, it is fun!!! (even though I have home work!)
