time is running out
I must say that I am very pleased with the responses I got to my last entry, thanks guys. Well, time is running out and things will be decided very soon. Pretty much, I am waiting for a letter from Milligan that contains very important information-my financial aid award. Granted, I haven't been accepted yet due to some delayed references (cough cough Andy), but I am much more concerned with my financial aid. Much hinges on this little letter. If it is a big amount then I will be able to buy a car and perhaps road trip it home to NH, if it is very small I may have to look into student loans. If it is rediculously small, I may have to rethink this whole thing altogether. I have been stressing about it as of late, but I decided to give it up. I just said "Let Your will be done," and now I know that whatever that letter says is of God and that is what I want, even if it means student loans of sticking around here or anything else He may have planned.
Other than that, I am doing pretty well. I have much school work to do, namely college algebra and a pesky little state and local government final. I should be able to finish strong if I remain focused.
On Wednesday night, I had my first evening of work at Alico Arena and then I proceeded with my community group to the "Meet Kip and Pedro" event. It is true, I saw Kip and Pedro from Napoleon Dynomite in person. Pedro was funny, but Kip was pretty serious and artsy. It was a lot of fun. And last night, I babysat for people I had only met once before, something I have only done a handful of times and plan not to do much more of :/
My mom mentioned the other day that if I find a good job that wont give me time off for workcamp I need to take the job and suck it up (in so many words). This I find quite upsetting, as I have been looking foreward to workcamp since the day the last one ended. I pray that it will not come to that. I am taking steps toward getting a job at a Farifield Inn, part of the Marriot chain, and possibly the one in Salem.
I think that is all that I have worth mentioning. Oh yes, one more thing- my dad called me today and told me that he bought two guitars and that I could chose between the two. One is an acoustic Taylor, and the other one is a knock-off Martin acoustic-electric. He said that they were both in excellent shaped. If anyone has anything informed to say about that, please let me know.
Now, I think that is it for real. Once again, if you feel led, here are some prayer requests-
- finish strong here academically
- financial aid letter - that it will be bigger than I ever dreamed *whuahahahaha*
- car - summer and otherwise
- job - summer
- SYCM (heh heh, if you are privy to that definition)
